It's a little early to be sundowning; you may want to contact your PCP bud.

Now let's break it down for you:

Me: "Taliek has 4 years of D1 assistant coaching experience"
You: "Well I know he has more experience than that because Dan hired him in 2018."
Me: "Taliek wasn't an assistant coach in 2018"
You: "Where was Nardi in 2018?"

It doesn't take a 180 on the LSAT to realize your spewing hot diarrhea from your mouth because you were wrong.

Kid, your whole point is Taliek doesn’t have the experience? Correct? Yet Nardi who was just hired last yr has similar experience. Correct. So I asked you again , what is your point? If you can’t answer let the adults talk.

Why? Not a fan of talik? Dont know enough about how he’s done under pitino to be honest? If you have some info hopefully you’ll fill me in

I was referring more to your comment about Andrew Hurley moving up. Although I also would be very surprised if we were involved with Taliek.

My point wasn't that Taliek doesn't have experience. It was that he specifically doesn't have as much D1 ASSISTANT COACHING experience. Which is why I said "D1 assistant coaching experience" and not "player development" or "carpentry" or "pole dancing" or any other kind of experience.

Again kid, does Nardi whom coach Dan Hurley just hired last yr have similar experience?

Other than you responding like a I’m not even disagreeing or agreeing. It’s what was written already. I personally don’t know who is available or what Hurley wants. I know from the Freeman debacle he’s not going to tolerate anybody who doesn’t put as much effort as he does. That’s for sure.

Same article with taliek, just google his name. Just quoting the article. I wouldn’t agree with the move but can I see it? Yeah I can

I don't understand what is so hard to understand. I was talking about D1 assistant coaching experience.

Does Nardi have similar experience?

Nardi:
  • Assistant coach for 8 years (hired with 7)
  • Development and scouting roles before that for 3 years.
  • Played overseas for 8 years
  • Interim head coach for a bit
  • Part of the staff that won the 2016 and 2018 NCAAT before being promoted to assistant.
  • Nardi is credited with developing and/or recruiting Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Donte Divincenzo, Saddiq Bey, Collin Gillespie, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Cam Whitmore.
  • Played and coached under HOF'ers
Taliek:
  • Assistant coach for 4 years
  • Director of Basketball Operations 4 years
  • Played overseas for 11 years
  • Played and coached under HOF'ers
  • No information that I can find specifically about his development and recruiting.
I'd call it similar-ish. Decide for yourself.

By contrast, here's the resume for Preston Murphy who is rumored to be interviewing.
  • 10 years assistant coach
  • 4 years associate head coach
  • 4 years DBO
  • played overseas 3 years
  • Coached under multiple HOF'ers
  • Credited with recruiting 2 5* and 4 4* transfers and HS kids in the last 3 years. No info before that.

If we are cutting and pasting from their bio’s:

In three seasons at St. John’s, Brown has been instrumental in turning around the trajectory of the Red Storm men’s basketball program. Inheriting a team that had won 20 games just four times in the previous 20 seasons, Brown has helped St. John’s go 81-25 over the past three seasons, highlighted by consecutive 30-win seasons, back-to-back outright BIG EAST Regular Season Championships and back-to-back BIG EAST Tournament titles. In 2024-25, the Red Storm matched a program record with 31 wins, earning a no. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and winning the Red Storm’s first game in The Big Dance since 2000. This past season, the Johnnies won 30 games and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999.

Brown has seen two of his St. John’s student-athletes earn BIG EAST Player of the Year honors, as RJ Luis Jr. took home the award in 2025 before Zuby Ejiofor unanimously won the accolade this past spring. Ejiofor was also named the BIG EAST Defensive Player and Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the first player in the conference to win all three awards since Brown’s teammate Emeka Okafor did so in 2004.

Before coming home to Queens, Brown helped Iona post a 27-8 overall record in 2022-23, including a 17-3 mark in MAAC play, and earn a bid to the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Before his one year as an assistant coach in New Rochelle, the Corona native spent three years as Director of Player Development at his alma mater, UConn.

Brown was the captain of UConn’s 2004 NCAA National Championship team and remains the program’s all-time assists leader. A four-year letterwinner under Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun, Brown owns both the Huskies’ career and single-season assist records, dishing out 722 helpers during his tenure, 253 of which came during the run to the 2004 national championship. Brown led the BIG EAST and ranked 11th nationally that season with 6.5 assists per game. Brown is the only player in UConn men’s basketball history to score at least 1,000 points (1,039) and dish out at least 700 assists (722).

Well I know he has more experience than that because Dan hired him in 2018.

And the Andrew thing is not as one of the top assistants by the way. It’s everyone moves up a peg. Not my choice but something I saw when Murray was hired by BC. Along with Brown

Hurley didn't hire him as an assistant coach, google is avaliable to you.

Has Derek Kellogg been mentioned at all? I only ask this because I know he is really close with Hurley. Also, he has many years of HC experience, and he happens to be a local guy.

Yes. He and Preston Murphy are the top two best guesses.

Is there a diff between hiring a guy at Nardi’s level and one at Luke’s?? You don’t hire another sales guy as vp sales when you already have a sales guy on your team. You go and hire a Vp of sales.

Brown doesn’t have anywhere near the resume of a guy y want for Lukes spot. When we hired Nardi we weren’t looking to replace Luke

Go back and the start. There’s an article and you can google it where it says Nardi moves into Murray’s spot and taliek into nardi’s. I honestly don’t know or have an answer, I was quoting the article but it does seem to me a guy hurley hired originally, who I would guess recommended to pitino, who pitino thought enough of to have him follow him to his new job shouldn’t be discounted either
