Shaheen Holloway to Louisville?

[nelsonmuntz]

SH is one of the private schools that doesn't have that big of an endowment ($308M) - so there just might not be the financial support there that other schools have.

Not saying he should leave - but just might be tough to build in the new environment.

I know some SHU boosters. According to the ones I know, quite a few of them went to elite private schools but live in north Jersey and like basketball. It is a wealthy area, but I don't know what the appetite is to contribute the money that is needed to compete at a high level. On the other hand, there is a huge corporate community in the area. It may just be too much of an organizational challenge for SHU Administration to harness all of these disparate entities.

My argument is Louisville is a program on the decline and is not an attractive job for an established coach. Makes sense to me

Agree and in a conference that may collapse between now and the start of next season

Louisville already has a very famous Shaheen's, it would be smart to add one more in my opinion. Great hire for Ville and a stepping stone, for Shaheen.

Shaheens Department Store

Shaheen's provides high quality school uniforms and specialized workwear-- from heavy duty Carhartt to functional culinary apparel. We also offer in house embroidery services and a rotating selection of boutique fashion.

Unfortunately, 2 of their most famous alums, Robert Brennan of First Jersey Securities fame (boiler room) and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco fame were both convicted of fraud. But, they do have Dick Vitale, Bill Raftery, and Bob Ley as alums and Tony Soprano attended but dropped out.

Jackie Jr. dropped out too. That stunatz.

Jackie Jr. was at Rutgers.

Damnit you’re right.

Washington, which I consider a decent program, just hired USU’s Sprinkle off one ok season. Maybe Holloway is the best Louisville can get.

Sprinkle made tourny the last 2 years before with Montana St too. Won 2 different conferences 3 years in a row and then won a game in the tourny. He's a rising star.
