Kenya Hunter Potential Replacement

Mike Miller is unemployed...He won’t get the job but he’s a well connected guy in AAU, brings nba relevancy & from watchin Memphis games, seemed to be more engaged x&o wise than the head coach. Even tho he left, I haven’t heard a negative thing said about the actual job he did.

Not a DMV guy, but someone connected in the southeast. May not be there yet, but someone with connections west of PA & south of VA Is going to be important as we continue to climb back our rightful throne. Outside just DMV, hunter I believe was our N.C. recruiter too

Lobo has less coaching experience than KO did, unless you count coaching her daughter in AAU. It isn't gender bias to say she's not a qualified hire. I suspect that she might be the first to say so.

What coaching experience did KO have when we made him an assistant?

He would be bored here as an assistant coach. At Memphis - he was the assistant who was also game day coach and strategist as well as his duties as an assistant.

It was Cue the Music - I was posting it here tongue in cheek but I don't necessarily disagree

Mike Miller is a High School coach right now.

I think Lobo would be a great choice. Talk about someone who would put in the work. I also think that the emphasis on technique and footwork she could bring to the table would be extremely beneficial.

Horrible take...smh

Is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing? You know how that story ended right?

Your interpretation of a guy who collected multiple rings while coaching here aside, I'm replying to someone who said that Ollie had more coaching experience then than Lobo does now. I'm simply asking what coaching experience he's referring to.

Good point. I was thinking about when he was hired as head coach.

Do you still stand by the above?

it's not similar to Geno. the basketball Xs and Os and teaching aspect would translate of course but we can't be the first program that relies on a woman to be a primary recruiter, which is an entirely different skill set. most highschool guys dont know how to talk to women it could be a disaster. I would love to see her or taurasi etc on the staff one day but not with recruiting responsibilities. becky hammon has been great for the spurs by all accounts.

Do you know how she gets them to shoot foul shots better?

I love the Lobo jokes, only the BY.

Hobbs would be good but indeed someone with some bigs familiarity would be better. Not sure what's available but the good news is UConn, Dan Hurley and the Big East is now a solid place to go for growth as a coach. Will be interesting to say the least to see where this goes.

Where's John Thompson Jr coaching?

Fantastic.

Apparently he was an assistant under Hurley at Wagner AND URI. As well as under Tom at Quinnipiac. So this makes a lot of sense.

The teams at Xavier and Louisville have been stellar and Mack gives Murray credit for leading the charge recruiting for them. Maybe he wants to get out from under the Mack shadow and try to make moves to be a HC in a few years? Otherwise this doesn't make much sense. Louisville has money and were a top team last year.

Big time recruiter. Young. Head coaching potential. Fits our mold.

More of a national footprint recruiter I believe. And not a bigs coach. I'd expecr Tom to take over the bigs development in that case.

Edit: I always thought people were kidding when they said his dad was Bill Murray. They're serious??? WHAT

That's a good read. Worked for Danny Hurley at both Wagner and Rhode Island, and may have worked with Tom Moore if he was coaching Quinnipiac in 2007-2008. I don't see any actual reference to him coaching bigs, but he's a known recruiter at this point, currently the head of recruiting for Chris Mack at Louisville.

I love it even if it’s only for the opportunity to see Bill sitting behind the bench at Gampel. Which it isn’t, he’s a great coach.

07-08 was Tom's first year at Quinnipiac.

It would really make sense if he's looking to get one last stop before HC job in a few years. Get with two guys he knows and trusts will be successful in Hurley and Tom. Familiar system he knows he can coach well in. Prove he can thrive without Mack.
