Just how much does Calhoun like Pikiell? He told NJ Advance Media that he had two opportunities to take over Big Ten programs since retiring at Connecticut, and each time, he had planned to bring Pikiell along as his "coach in waiting." The 73-year-old opted to stay retired instead
It's an indication that Pikiell knows AD David Benedict isn't going to stay within the family for the next coach.So, this could be an indication that KO's seat is a bit warmer than some on here may think.

Not saying you're wrong about what UConn will do when it replaces Ollie, but if Rutgers approached him about an extension because it was concerned about the chance that he might be scooped up by UConn, do you think Pikiell would have rejected it even if he thought he was still in line for consideration to replace Ollie?It's an indication that Pikiell knows AD David Benedict isn't going to stay within the family for the next coach.
I think there's a possibility, yeah.Not saying you're wrong about what UConn will do when it replaces Ollie, but if Rutgers approached him about an extension because it was concerned about the chance that he might be scooped up by UConn, do you think Pikiell would have rejected it even if he thought he was still in line for consideration to replace Ollie?
I don't know what to believe. I also think he has a very good opportunity there, but littlejohn says he's a stiff who would never have gotten a sniff from the likes of UConn under any circumstances; and littlejohn claims to have his finger on the pulse of the program more so than anyone else.I think there's a possibility, yeah.
Whatever, though. I'm happy for the guy – he's a true Husky, and he's going to have a chance to be to Rutgers was Calhoun is to UConn. I just hope we don't end up looking like clowns because we missed out on a guy whose dream was to coach in Storrs.
I take this is as a good sign.So, this could be an indication that KO's seat is a bit warmer than some on here may think.

Given our current situation, I'm not sure I trust JC's opinion on good coaches.There may be some on the BY doubting Pikiell, but not Jim Calhoun.
We were never going with Pikiell. Great guy and good coach but I'm glad he's found a home at Rutgers.That didn't take long. Thanks, KO!
Rutgers is always going to be Rutgers.The idea that rutgers is now better than UConn in mens basketball is upsetting.
Fact is Rutgers won the lottery! UConn cannot compete with them. What coach would voluntarily leave the B1G to coach a midmajor team in the AAC? You guys are delusional, but clearly the rumblings got Rutgers to extend his contract with megabucks!The idea that rutgers is now better than UConn in mens basketball is upsetting.
stupid statementThat didn't take long. Thanks, KO!
Or, perhaps Rutgals has the closest semblance of some potential for hoops success in decades, some combo, etc. ...Perhaps Rutgers suspected we were sniffing around and they wanted to lock their guy up...
stupid statement
If anyone here thinks that SP would leave a P5 situation to come to AAC you are absolutely crazy
