Lon Kruger retires- old news

[superjohn]

Guess this happened a week ago but my first time seeing it. Really underrated coach, won everywhere he went. I wonder if with Covid and especially all the madness with trying to keep a team together with the transfer stuff and other possible changes that some of these older coaches feel it's time to call it a career. I could understand some of them looking around and seeing how the game has changed and they no longer want to be a part of it.

One of the few coaches to ever really embarrass Calhoun in a single game. Kruger completely outcoached our legend in the 1994 Sweet 16.

Yes he did. And yet all we needed was ONE foul shot from a guy who had just made 20 in a game the week before.......that one STILL hurts.

For the last quarter century, every time I've seen Lon Kruger all I can think of is Dametri 'Da Meat Hook' Hill and those damn missed FTs.

Coached well in a handful of places. Beat us in Donyell's last game. Which still kinda stings, but a good win for him.

Ruined my Spring Break....

UConn lost because Calhoun wouldn't play Brian Fair in a game where UConn went like 16 minutes without a basket. Fair didn't play defense, but defense wasn't UConn's problem that night. UConn needed baskets, and Fair could score.

He’s so over rated. Barely over 500 in conference at Oklahoma, same as Florida. Runs nothing.
