Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[the Q]

He's been coaching a lot longer. Serious coaching--and some of kids he coached, like JR Smith I believe--can do a number on you, and not may coaches have a portrait that ages instead of themselves like Brad Stevens.

I feel for anyone who coached JR.

Is there a more frustrating player in all of basketball?

Happy Hopefully Habemus Coachus Day!

My opinion is Pitt is out. It's either URI or UCONN, and the longer it takes, it's more likely he stays at URI. They throw him some bones and he stays with what he knows.

I would put my life savings on the fact that he's not staying at URI.

Thanks for adding extra drama to the thread!

Don't worry, I'm a Millenial. Either I win and I can now retire when I'm 70, or I lose and I can retire when I'm 71.

I'm a millennial too (albeit the oldest, crankiest millenial ever...I make the two old guys on the Muppets look spry). That's why i'll take this. I either get free money, or i still have none.

Matched UConn's offer? #FakeNews

Yeah, sorry, they didn't match UConn's offer. Don't believe they can do that just on salary, assuming 2.5m (he'd himself account for something like 40% of their whole basketball budget if they did), and then you'd have to account for the practice facility, chartered flights, and greater salary for assistants. They'd have to double their basketball budget minimally overnight.

Sorry, don't believe that.

Yesterday, I wasted far too much of my day refreshing this thread. I just got the okay to work from home due to the storm. This is not going to be a healthy day...

If it is going to be a swift kick in the jimmy then it is best to be at home! I bet the decision is public by noon. tick tick tick........

Sorry, don't believe that.

you have no idea how much these charter flights cost.

that would basically double the budget by itself.

But you gotta admit, you just logged into your bank account to check the value of your life's savings, just to be sure...

Shhhhhhh. I know. But it's fun to stir up the crazies.

A more perfect summary of the culture of message board posting has never been uttered.
