Rebuild?

Bobby but I'll take either if they wanted to come here

Why Bobby?

Why Bobby?

We will have to see how the rest of the season plays out but it looks like he put together a final four contender at ASU in year 3. Look how good their roster is. They're average something like 90 ppg

He also won the MAC in his only 2 years at Buffalo

Hard to fall behind 18-4 when you are putting up 90!

Bobby Hurley? He is not coming here, that's crazy. Why would he leave to come here? Danny could a realistic option.

Might be the other Hurley from what I've heard.

I would love to see that happen but no way Bobby Jr comes to UCONN when he is building a contender at Arizona State. The guy is in a very large state school, in the PAC 12, easy school to recruit to. Sure he would earn more at UCONN but after this year, I would think Arizona State would increase his salary to keep him.

PS: Great news if he is interested though.

A lot closer to his roots than Arizona?

Danny. Longer track record, Big East blood, and no Duke stains on him.

Both are really good coaches, though.

Danny is younger.

Did you not read the question? It was who would you want? Not which do you think we could get. The reading comprehension around here is turrible

It's not a given he would come here, but from what I've heard it's not to be ruled out.

Danny is younger.

Yes, but he has a longer track record as a college head coach. He's now in his eighth season, while Bobby's just in his fifth.

That's important to me because - as we're currently seeing here - a HC's flaws can sometimes be hidden by one particularly talented group of players. "Right time, right team" sort of thing and you could get a championship followed by a slow decline.

So to me, one of the crucial measures for our next head coach is a proven ability to win across multiple recruiting classes, and with entirely different rosters that you've brought in. Danny's done that; Bobby has not (yet).

Also worth noting that Danny was HC at St. Benedict's for 9 years. So even though he's younger he has waaay more time on the sideline. He's a veteran.

The American Conference didn’t kill recruiting until the recruiting effort started taking escalators and then elevators and then no longer even wanted to do that.

It was obviously a headwind, but the name on the front of the uniform overcame that to some degree....until the name on the front of the uniform was the only thing recruiting for us.

If this is the problem, then obviously Chill has helped a lot. And it's easily fixable.

I believe Kevin Ollie is competitive enough to put in effort. I worry that he isn't smart enough to put in the right effort, or tough enough to get the best out of his players.
