I think AO is going to crush it here as the big man coach.

Great start.

AO is first one I’ve seen following our newest signing on IG.

 

[Brooky03]

Imagine AO smacking you with blocking pads as you try to work on your post moves. Better get tough, quick.

 

[CuseTG2003]

Helluva coaching staff. GMac's not messing around. Giddy up.

Outstanding! Wonder if Blackwell is coming too?

I'm just so excited to have an actual big man coach.

Great looking staff so far. Wonder who the GM will be…

Outstanding! Wonder if Blackwell is coming too?

From what I've heard yes he is.

Will he be in an assistant coach role or something else?

Does Gerry hang associate head coach title on someone?

If you couldn’t tell in the Gerry staff predictions thread, I’m all in on this hire. I have so much respect for what AO was able to accomplish as a player and if I’m remembering correctly, he was a fantastic student. Just a solid hire.

Who actually successfully banged on the blocks back in the day.

I’ll never forget his game vs UNC in the garden. Bullied the UNC big men in a way we haven’t seen since.

Most likely Brunt.

I'm just so excited to have an actual big man coach.

You mean an actual big man coaching the big men maybe?

 

[swish7]

I love this for him and us

 

[85SUAlum]

It's about time we had a coach for the big men that actually knows the position.

 

[CuseFan]

Love that we will finally have a big man coach who was a big man!

[rrlbees]

dont think ive ever seen that. pretty cool.

 

[MSOrange]

I am not one who feels like you need a big man to coach the big man, and I think if you look at the coaching staffs around the nation, the evidence will show that to be the case.

That being said, I am really excited to have AO join the staff and from reading the syracuse.com article, it sounds like he has a really good future in coaching.

I believe this one is better. The 2009-10 team. I loved them so!
