Luke Murray and BC?

[husky429]

I get it and agree with you, but keep in mind Karaban's semi-obvious future career path...

Playing professional basketball?

We don’t hate Duke. We strive to be as good as Duke. Maybe you are jealous of Duke but hate is the wrong word.

 

[HCCForever]

I don’t see why Luke would be thought of different than Pikiell. Like him but hate his team.

Rutgers doesn’t affect me at all emotionally compared to BC and Miami. All remnants of the move to the ACC and I choose not to move off that position. But I have nothing against Luke.

 

[B1GEast]

This absolutely sucks. I'm happy for Murray but the destination really blows.

I will root for Luke to make BC a bubble team in the next two seasons and root for him to leave them for someone else. Make them good enough where a better program will want him and BC can go back to sucking. I simply can't root for BC.

I wish Luke great success, so much success that he breaks their hearts by going to a better program because he becomes such a hot commodity.

Secretly hope Murray strings them along and then at least minute, He, Calhoun and Hurley get up to the podium and rip up the unsigned contract.

 

[CL82]

That's a name I haven't heard of in a while.

The most important skill in an assistant is the ability to recruit. Talent trumps all. He won't be on the short list.

It was a joke, riffing off your frustration with people randomly suggesting names.

 

[CL82]

Yeah, stop with these former players. Dan knows who the assistants who can recruit and teach and identify talent are. He'll poach somebody we don't know from some P5 school and those who know will say "oh, what a great hire, that guy is a future star".

Actually, I wouldn't be all that surprised if a former UConn guy ended up in the Nardi role. Putting Nardi there was a smart stopgap measure for the inevitable loss of an assistant. If there was a quality Connecticut guy, I could see Dan giving him a hard look. But I absolutely agree, the bottom line is getting in good candidates.

 

[UconnU]

Any smoke out there for Bobby joining the staff?

No I hate Duke truly hate them

 

[CL82]

Can confirm that I do in fact hate Duke for being overhyped whiners and am not at all jealous of them

I could see how people might be jealous of only five championships. Six is hard harder to keep track of. Of course I'm entirely open to seven even though I fully embrace the fact that...

Secretly hope Murray strings them along and then at least minute, He, Calhoun and Hurley get up to the podium and rip up the unsigned contract.

While laughing.

Lock this one down we got a game tonight!!

 

[AdamaNation]

If I see one more person suggest a former player with no coaching experience be hired as an assistant for us I'm going to lose my fricken mind.

Playing and coaching are entirely different skillsets. Hurley was not a very good player. Luke didn't even play college basketball. I don't think Tom did either.

Need I mention Daigenault's stellar college basketball career twiddling his thumbs on the bench behind Calhoun?

Worst case is Tom Moore. Not a bad place to be. Maybe Taliek comes home? But I feel Dan has some strong recruiting ties.

 

[tennmike]

Playing professional basketball?

And afterwards? I shouldn't have been surprised, but he mentioned coaching in a semi-recent interview.

 

[80shusky]

Any smoke out there for Bobby joining the staff?

I think Bobby has specifically said he wouldn't. He doesn't want it, I don't think Danny wants it, and we definitely don't want it. They are perfectly capable of finding a great assistant out there without having to do this.

 

[uchusky32]

Is this a trade for an ACC invite later?
