Kevin Freeman stepping down from coaching, but will remain at UConn

[tcf15]

 

[rollskies]

Whaaaaaat. Did not see that one coming. Hope it’s nothing medical/family related.

 

[Sachem]

Wait what??

 

[HuskyFich]

Really hoping this is just his decision.

 

[Wordbomar]

His family just moved back to CT from PA last week. The timing is bizarre

 

[CCSUblue]

Next CCSU coach? Lol, timing and all.

 

[WaterDawg]

What the...

Interesting timing with the Lundy staying at Penn St thing, too..

 

[kansashusky]

This seems odd.

 

[rollskies]

What could this mean? Different position with the basketball team I would assume?

Creating another position for him to make room for an assistant? Hunter returning? Totally speculating here.

Hunter just got rehired at Indiana . No

 

[CCSUblue]

New Women's assistant

 

[navery12]

Clearly making room for Tony Bergeron and Tre Mitchell

/s

 

[Fishy]

I’m sure he has a contract with the school - maybe just did not like coaching.

Kentucky has a new job titled Special Assistant to Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator for Jai Lucas. Wonder if it's something like that.

Got poached by Ollie.

Appreciate you adding the "/s"

That would have been a full blown BY meltdown lol.

 

[Staven]

I'm praying all is well with Kevin and his family and hope his decision to leave is not a result of a family illness.

What a weird year, man. Don’t even remember hearing him speak this season. Seems like a personal thing since he’s sticking around in some form.

Lol Kenya has a cushy gig at Indiana and was retained. Not coming back and would be extremely awkward.

Don't think Kenya's coming back. That would be a step down for him in title and probably pay.

 

[navery12]

There were rumors of Luke Murray last year before we hired Freeman. Wonder if he's an option since he was let go at Louisville

 

[UCDaveD]

A secondary question is will the person we hire bring any recruits with him? Probably not, but who knows?

Ironically Hunter is making 12,000 less at Indiana. Made 319,000 at UConn.

source: Yasir Rosemond to make $300,000 per year at Indiana

 

[UconnU]

I wonder how this will affect us with Dama. Remember Dama was his personal project they worked out together every morning.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

He wouldn’t be going to take over Shea Ralph’s just vacated position, right?

 

[Peacefrog]

So we need a new big man coach. Let's get somebody good that will impress Clingan.
