OT Syracuse Hillsman resigns

Not surprising, but this certainly throws Syracuse WBB into total chaos.

Not exactly a knock-me-over-with-a-feather moment.

The university’s job would have been a helluvalot easier if he’d stepped down a couple of months ago when the writing was already on the wall.

Now, will we see another mass exodus into transfer portal or will this be great news for the incoming players?

 

[Alydar]

What's the record for shortest time between getting to the final four and getting fired?

 

[HGN]

Hillsman had a style all his own, either you liked it or you didn't. But I think he will be a better coach at his next stop. Assuming there is a next stop. At least he should now know what he should not do whether guilty or not.

Syracuse is a good job for someone. Big , ACC , high profile , and in need of a HC .

Maybe Kristy Curry who left Purude after 2006 after almost winning a title in 2001? I don't recall if she was fired but there were some recruiting violations under her that I believe led to her departure.

Or fixes it.

I didn’t think Hillsman would survive this one. Once the details of the allegations and complaints went viral, he was done. Too many media outlets covering the story, and too may folks asking questions. Too many former players willing to come forward to be interviewed and give depositions. No way the administration could get away with turning a blind eye towards this.

Somehow I have the feeling that Q will resurface somewhere in the near future. Maybe in 2-3 years, after the dust of this matter has settled, and all parties concerned have moved on.

Syracuse classroom instruction resumes the same day UConn’s does, Monday August 30. It’s late in the year to recruit a head coach, but still enough time to find an interim coach. It's not outside the realm of possibility to find an up and coming assistant coach that did not land their dream job this summer and is waiting until next year.

I have had no use for him ever since he petulantly refused to schedule a homecoming game for Stewie.... good riddance!

 

[Stoli]

 

[seeya27]

Could see him coaching internationally for while to rehab his reputation, a la Pitino. Then reemerge back on the college level.

 

[seeya27]

Tricia Fabbri of Q would a fascinating, and terrific hire.

 

[Mdoggie]

I know a coach that can be there tomorrow!!
Carmelo put lots of cash into the basketball facilities. It’s top notch!

? Was that a requirement?

 

[Kaizen]

He should resign sooner.

 

[DeeHusky]

Another one (DJ Khaled voice) —I don’t think this is the last we’ll see. How many “resigned amid investigations” have we seen over the past few years?

 

[CL82]

KAH Would seem well-equipped to seamlessly continue to implement the “Syracuse-style” of basketball.

 

[CL82]

? Was that a requirement?

For @CTtoSanDiego ’s goodwill? Apparently so.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Not surprising, but this certainly throws Syracuse WBB into total chaos.

But the program was in disarray at best with the allegations out there and an investigation underway.

Glad to have the strutting popinjay gone.

I think a bunch of their players left already.......

Not fired

 

[HopJim]

Not likely, but theoretically, a new coach could give the players in the portal a reason to stay at Syc.

CTtoSanDiego, I agree. How childish to not schedule a home game for Breanna. Thank you to Colgate knowing they were up against it, and they still scheduled the game.
