Mark Daigneault, OKC Thunder head coach, is a former UConn student manager

[Matrim55]

Somehow I didn't realize this, but Daigneault is a UConn grad who was a student manager under Calhoun from 2003-2007.

My NBA rooting interests are the Celtics and any UConn guys, so I guess I'm going to have to add OKC to my list.

Bump.

Let's hope they sign Drummond, too.

Bump.

Let's hope they sign Drummond, too.

This is an excellent example of when to appropriately bump an old thread

Let's hope they sign Drummond, too.

Are we rooting for Daigneault or not?

How do you go from student manager to NBA head coach? Even coaches that didn’t play pro ball played college. Good for him

 

[CashewCrew]

he still may get canned before he ever coaches Kemba. Probably will get another year at the helm though

Are we rooting for Daigneault or not?

Yeah, the pro-UConn take is to hope they get Mobley and a mid/late lottery wing falls to them at 16.
