Karl Hobbs replacement?

 

[uchusky32]

Replacement for Bunkey?

 

[JMick]

These are usually formalities. I'm sure he was already hand selected by Ollie

 

[James]

Bringing someone with NBA experience is great to hear. I'm guessing KO, rightfully so, wants to boost his x&os. And maybe player development

Hmm it sounds like experience at the NBA level means as a player, not a coach, and that they have very recently coached on some pretty good teams at the NCAA level

 

[BUConn10]

I like the sound of NBA experience for recruiting purposes. Nothing brings in future NBA players like retired Pros who have been there before and know what it takes to get to that next level.

That being said, I wonder what Rip is up to these days. He certainly doesn't need the money but his involvement with the program during KO's tenure makes me think he could potentially see himself on the sideline one day.

Did you know the whole Ollie, Calhoun, Manuel thing was a sham to get around the state job posting policy? I was told by someone real close to the situation. This makes me wonder if there is someone already selected for the job and the posting is intentionally describing him.

Hopefully everyone is aware that by the time the job is posted, the position is already filled. The job description is written the new hire's experience.

This is nothing more than fulfilling legal requirements IAW state hiring policies.

that is literally how it works

Won't be KFree?

 

[tcf15]

Won't be KFree?

Nope, doesn't even meet the minimum qualifications.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Well, this is interesting. Who is it?

 

[HuskyNationJE]

Can we get Ray Allen in and just ignore the 5 years previous coaching experience needed? I think we can look past that for him

 

[OkaForPrez]

Donyell?

 

[jleves]

Donyell?

Doesn't meet the minimum requirements of 5 of the last 6 years coaching D1. He spent two years coaching in the D league. Plus he was just named head coach of Central Connecticut State and definitely doesn't meet the preferred qualification of leading teams to the NCAA tournament.

So I would say that's pretty unlikely.

But there's obviously someone out there that matches the requirements.

You don't say.

Nothing wrong with looking out of the uconn family.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

OK can't keep it secret any longer. It's me

I think that the Boneyarders should collectively apply for the position. We might as well get paid for our expert coaching advice after the games are over.

How does this get by compliance office? Does this eliminate every woman in the world?

It eliminates every person except the exact one who got the job last week.

There are some women assistants for men's teams I believe. That's the job, coaching young men. So you want experience coaching young men.

I hope it is someone outside of the UConn family. We need some new blood.
