Raphael Chillious interim coach

[Hoophound]

Maybe AD David Benedict had something to do with getting Chill here. If he’s clean and an elite recruitier, DB may be trying to keep him.

Does KO have pictures on you or something?

Get off your knees, its not a good look.

I took it as sarcasm

 

[8893]

I swear some of you people live in the woods.

It’s not like he’s been named head coach, he’s handling business while UConn looks for a new coach.

There really wasn’t even a second option.

And as for ‘tainted’, he’s on a staff currently being investigated for nonsense that happened before he got here.

Morons.

I do live in the woods, but even I understood this.

Some further clarification

I took it as sarcasm

I took it as sarcasm too, but from someone who is still defending a guy who just plain sucks as head of a major college basketball program.

If I misread that, my apology is in order.

Thanks for the clarification.
We’re still moronic, but we’re no longer ignorant. Baby steps.

Chillious followed Hurley on Twitter.

Chillious followed Hurley on Twitter.

Chillious just messing with everybody now.

Chillious followed Hurley on Twitter.

Kissing some huh? Chill ain't no fool!

Chillious just messing with everybody now.

He isn’t following him on twitter.

 

[Danzz]

Chill has a sketchy past. Wrong choice IMO.

He is only there because somebody has to answer the phone. Good news for him is they wouldn't make him interim coach if he were part of the NCAA investigation.

He isn’t following him on twitter.

RipCity just messing with everybody now.

He isn’t following him on twitter.

Lol what? He 100% is.

Most of us have to look at our keyboards while typing, though.

This is strictly procedural, as Chillious is still getting a salary so he gets elevated at no extra cost to the university. Chillious coached teams are 17 under .500 the past year and a half.

 

[AntG168]

He is following him, but it doesn’t mean he just started following him. When you look at someone’s twitter followers the people you follow are normally at the top

 

[Brochacho]

Hurley, Moore, Chillious. I think they'd be able to recruit.

 

[The Funster]

It would be nice if Chill stays. We need some coaches who spend some more time looking at film. I think we did a poor job of identifying tendencies or exploiting weaknesses. Houston's Gray is a great example. Did we ever overplay his weak hand? Nope, we just let him go time and time again.

Hurley, Moore, Chillious. I think they'd be able to recruit.

Nice. Can anyone coach?

 

[Block C]

Hurley, Moore, Chillious. I think they'd be able to recruit.

I would be okay with that coaching staff

 

[D$]

No way he stays. Whoever the new coach is will want to bring in his own associate head coach, thus demoting Chill.

Kissing some huh? Chill ain't no fool!

While I understand the interim nature of these mechanics which Fishy spelled out, Chief is a big advocate of keeping Chill - he’s a good guy and a great recruiter. Obviously, it’s the new head coach’s decision but I go back to Calhoun keeping Howie for continuity even though there was a lot that needed to change. With Hurley’s contacts in NJ/NYC/Philly and Chill’s on the West Coast, Baltimore and actually in New England from his Kent days - you have a good base you can fill around with the other recruiter - Tom Moore?

Isn't this just stage 2 of the Blaze strategy?
