Uconn’s next coach

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

If OKC fails to make the playoffs it may not be a bad idea to reach out to Billy D.

Rick Pitino says he wants to coach again

 

[MuchoDogYears]

I pray UConn would never sink so low as to hire a piece of “whatever” like Pitino. I’d honestly rather keep KO given that choice.

In a fantasy world I’d want Brad Stevens or Geno.

 

[nomar]

I believe John Thompson III should be our next coach.

Explain.

 

[Power6ix]

Rick Pitino recently was in the news saying he'd love to coach again. Do you guys think it'd be premature for UConn to hire him this offseason coming off his most recent allegations?

Please refrain from hitting that crack pipe until after you post.

Welcome Sock Puppet. No to Rick Pitino at UConn. Just no.

Calhoun would blow up Gampel if they hired Pitino. Geno would blow up the men’s side of the basketball complex. Not worth the baggage.

I dont want anything to do witg pitino

 

[Power6ix]

Calhoun would blow up Gampel if they hired Pitino. Geno would blow up the men’s side of the basketball complex. Not worth the baggage.

Actually, on Barstool Sport's "Pardon My Take" podcast, Geno said in an interview that he would hire Pitino to his own staff, I think he'd welcome him to Storrs.

Konkol has shown absolutely nothing in his three years at La Tech...I don't understand why so many are throwing his name out. In his time as HC they have finished 154, 93 and 153 in Kenpom. That is considered good or even solid nowadays?

I have been talking about Eric Konkol for a while now. He's a good coach, his teams play a good brand of basketball, and hes a guy that will be able to recruit. He's a guy who reminds me of a young Billy Donovan. That's his upside.

PS: Don't get me wrong I won't be disappointed if we get Hurley as that would be a good pickup for us. I like Konkol and LA Tech makes really good selections of young coaches. Either Hurley or Konkol is fine by me.

Pitino was found guilty of? Having some employees that broke the law. KO and a lot of other coaches may be guilty of the same thing with lesser offenses.

Would rather have Frank Reynolds

[TouchdownHusky]

Just win Baby. He'd have UConn back in the Final Four in two years. What the heck, Louisville is a lot better off in the world of college football and men's hoops.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Yes, instant credibility as a program, and he’d have us winning fast. He’s worth the baggage.

Wtf is wrong with some of you guys??

OMG, again, WTF is wrong with some of you people???

Quoting myself from other equally stupid threads.

It was a "thing" for a minute earlier this year.

Geno would blow up the men’s side of the basketball complex.

Or would he?

 

[Robertelamin]

The strength coach has all of the VIP hookups. We need someone to carry on the Bunky tradition.

Yes, please hire Travis or the other strength and conditioning coach who was here for 3 weeks.

Strengths: Did not last long.
Weaknesses: Did not make players strong or conditioned.

Ugh. I missed that. That one really hurts.

I did too and I’m here...but admittedly not paying tons of attention, you’d think I’d have heard it by now though.

Totally OT to OP but I’m glad Oats is locked up for Buffalo’s sake. We could use a strong of relevant years and add to Bonnies’ recent success and the area should be exciting.

We need some life with the community and athletic program and Oats and the ADs have done a solid job.

 

[UConnNick]

Have we reached peak Boneyard? I think we’ve reached peak Boneyard.

Matta, Hobbs, Freeman, Calhoun w/Miller in waiting... lol.

Not even remotely close. How about Bill "The Governor" Raftery? HC experience? Check. Connections? Check. Name Recognition? Check. Onions? Check.

He coached in the original Big East. Remember Danny Calandrillo at Seton Hall?

Danny C blast from the past. Kid was a shooter had a great career at the Hall. I believe his senior year was PJs first there with RAF as his coach fresh-Junior.

I’d like some life in our basketball program. And the guy beat out Rutgers for jeenathan Williams and I believe VCU and UCF for Segu.

Those guys would’ve helped in the case of an exodus.

I was disappointed no one on the board wanted to discuss him but maybe they heard it was coming?

I am cool with it too, assuming Geno has his staff lock certain doors at his restaurant.
