Khalid El-Amin wants to join the UConn coaching staff

If he hasn’t changed from 1999 when he lived in my dorm, he prefers bongs. 😆

Not when in the car.

Does he have a lot of experience, look, I love KEA, but unless he's suggesting he's slipping into the Nardi slot and Nardi is getting promoted, I don't see how he fits. Now, if he's got a lot of of a coaching experience that I'm unaware of, I retract my comment.

Let's remember, Nardi was very experienced before he joined the staff. He was feisty when he played and is just as feisty on the UConn bench, which is exactly what you need. So glad he is on the staff!

Hiring an underqualified alum is not a good move in my opinion. Plenty of good choices out there.

I want shea Ralph! Make history and prepare her for taking genos chair in the next few years. Vandy knows it. But with a few years on the men’s staff. That is gangster.

Sat next to DeAndre Daniels for an hour tonight. He got up and then Boo Willingham sat next to me for the next 3 hours. We talked everything you could imagine UConn and one of the topics was how El-Amin was the best leader we've ever had. 5 minutes later El-Amin came over and hung out with us. We told him how we just talked about him being the best leader ever and we wished he was on the staff. He told us it was his dream. I pop on here and I see this thread. The last 24 hours have been magical. Oh yeah, Boat and Bazz also came over for a bit to hang out.

Some out of control Illini fans tried to start stuff with everyone when the bar closed down but thankfully nothing happened.

danny already said bobby not an option. Love KEA as a player and leader but not a position for a first time bench coach . the hire won’t replace all that luke did recruiting , analytics , confidante ( before turning down lakers job he went to billy joel concert with luke) . need someone who is a strong analytics guy and is equally crazy ( in a good way) and can handle danny

Khalid would be a good Engineer for UConn- to test the structural integrity of the scorer’s tables.
