Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4232491, member: 271"] UMass could be a good job for a great coach but I don’t think there’s “Camby jitters.” The A10 doesn’t have the juice it did back then. Playing in the Big East is a world away from the A10. Back in Camby’s day they were more comparable. The Big East was better but the A10 was very good. UMass is still going to be a good job for a good recruiter that can make his guys play really hard. The key difference between now and the 90’s is simple. Calipari cheated his butt off and that just isn’t going to happen now. Nobody is buying a Marcus Camby in Amherst these days. People that think UMass can do what they did in 96’ again aren’t considering the realities of modern UMass. Cheating won’t be tolerated and they aren’t going to hire a suspected cheater either. The next great UMass coach will need to be a great recruiter that really knows how to teach and develop players. I can definitely see Kimani doing well there, but depending on what his agent thinks, there may be better opportunities. [/QUOTE]
