Great opportunity for TB!
But why does it take this long for
Someone with a great playing background
Who is familiar with grassroots nyc so long to get a job when there are so many with no college
Playing with experience getting asst and in some cases head coaching jobs ?

It could be as simple as Taliek spent 10+ years after college playing basketball and by the time he wanted to start coaching he was battling guys who spent 10+ years coaching basketball.

If KEA is serious, that would be great.

He's one of my favorite players to ever wear the UConn uniform.

KEA would potentially be a great addition to the staff. Would love to see that happen.

They won’t be reassigning any of the on-court coaches here.

True.
BUT...
When an assistant moves on to a juicier responsibility, there's always the possibility of everyone moving up a notch, which could get him out of the vestibule and into the club, so to speak.

This position doesn't do any recruiting so that doesn't even matter


Caron ain't leaving his NBA coaching job to come back to college unless it was for a HC job. Even then, he might prefer to stay at that level

the guy takes really good care of his assistants and generally seems to care about them a great deal.

I seem to recall him dumping all the blame for the whole Katrina Powell escort thing at Louisville on a grad assistant.
 
This truly is an amazing opportunity….how many assistants can say that they played for a national championship winning, HOF coach and also coached underneath another national championship winning, HOF coach? I would guess not many.

This is a big loss for us. He was a really active part of our player’s lives. Assistant at Iona? He would have been an assistant here in short order. Danny’s ability to keep people around was once viewed as a strength.

Look into Zoloft dude.

Nice to see there’s no off-season for some.

True relentless dedication to the craft of bad takes.

People will just come on this website and say anything. Absolutely deranged take.

One of the responsibilities of a HC is to encourage/promote/advocate on behalf of their staff to pursue their professional dreams and allow them to actualize those dreams with new positions . Inside and outside of the Program.

Taliek deserves that chance.. Got it.. And went with it as he should. Dan Hurley did not stand in his way.. Matter of fact.. Wouldn't at all be surprised if JC/Dan Hurley encouraged Pitino to extend the offer to TB.. Excellent move for TB to strengthen his resume for a HC position down the road.

Side note, but if any of you live near New Rochelle and want to see a good Iona matchup, they're hosting Saint Louis on Tuesday, December 6th.

That’s what’s up — thanks. I’m right nearby and need to start going regularly.

luckily this is definitely and almost certainly the last member of the staff or team to leave this offseason.
