How soon we forget Wright negatively recruiting on Jim Calhoun’s health.I do agree Nova is a solid fundamental team. I wonder how good they would be if they had to go against Calhoun’s UConn teams, Cuse, etc type teams back in the day?

I mean, wouldn't you? Especially when everyone else was doing it, including JC's buddy Jimmy B.

Quite frankly, No. you don’t take a coaching colleague’s health and make it an issue. It’s bad form.

Eh, there's not wrong with saying, he's not likely to be there much longer...you don't know if you'll finish your career with him as coach. That's standard practice. Certainly these days.

And to think I honestly believed that winning at all costs was part of Chief’s shtick.

Couple observations:

1. Brunson is as fundamentally sound a college player as you are going to find. Kids just don't play that way.

That came from his dad not Wright.

2. Notice how Wright gets Brunson a breather right before the media timeouts to extend his rest. Those are the tricks Ollie didn't have with guys like Adams.

Ollie did it with Adams, not always but many, many times.

3. Nova is the men's equivalent of the UConn women. That program is absolutely rolling.

Not even close.

Knew someone wouldn't like my take, but the last guy I thought it'd be is chief. Maybe because it was against JC lol

Players cutting class is encouraged, arrest records shouldn't have any bearing on coaches' job status, but negative recruiting based on another coach's health is somehow off limits. I now know better than to question the logic.

@Palatine it's been a rough 24 hours for your "nova basketball isn't close to the uconn women" take.

Jay Wright could have been our coach once upon a time, the guy absolutely loves Calhoun.
