Are you talking about Luke Murray? Who’s been discussed here at length? He was hired back in 2021, so five years ago. But he had been on Hurley’s staffs at Wagner and Rhode Island before that.
Choice quote from The Athletic article below:
“Dan Hurley has long had a reputation for coaching tough teams who play hard. But an offensive savant? Typically his defenses were always better than his offenses. Not until his 11th season as a college head coach did Hurley have a top-50 offense. And last season, when the Huskies finished third, was Hurley’s first time with a top-20 offense. This year’s Huskies enter Monday night’s national championship game against Purdue as the most efficient offense in college basketball. It feels like he’s on the verge of a dynasty.”

How UConn built the ‘most complex’ — and efficient —offense in college basketball

Dan Hurley and assistant coach Luke Murray devised an offense heavy on off-ball screening and cuts, and it may lead to back-to-back titles.

Yeah, that's the guy. Thanks.
I only have so much room left in my brain.
I can't remember who everybody's assistants are when we're looking for a new coach.

I watched their game last night.

I didn't think their offense or defense looked much different than what Autry tries to run.

They just run it better and more consistently.

Our defense, when it has been good, like early in the season, had nothing wrong with it.

The problem has aways been consistent effort.

Didn’t you say this twice earlier.

No doubt. Consistency is key. Brownell and several other coaches have repeatedly said how we fall apart when our initial actions don’t work. Then on Defense it’s pretty easy to see us give up Off boards and then the other team make an open 3. Not to mention live ball turnovers

There is a scenario in the future that is possible. If Syracuse doesn’t get it together and is left behind. USF gets elevated and investment flows in for them, but that day is not now lol. They are very well positioned though as a program for the future. Tampa is a great city. I can see the ACC wanting in on that if they lose some members in 2031.

Big 10 or SEC aren’t going to take them over ACC or Big 12 schools though.

If I had to choose btw Gmac and hop I’d take hop. I’m not saying he’s some great hc but I do think he has some level of competence. Being in the nba proves some level of professional competency.

I think hop isn’t coming back and wouldn’t advocate it but he’d be better than red if he could be thrusted into the job right now as a caretaker

I’m on board w bill Murray’s son or St Louis guy. Hodgson is 3 for me. Hope they all interview. It’s helpful to the program
Expand...
If those are the choices, shutter the program
 
Didn't learn much about Schertz, still think he is #1 all thought I think Hodgson is so opposite from what we have always done, I find that very intriguing.

I am out on Martelli as I don't think he is above Hodgson and Hodgson is my floor. Somone has to be clear cut better in my mind to move over him. I have 3 people so far that fit that bill.

Yes, because people are acting like what he did was freaking revolutionary.
It doesn't look that different folks, just competent.
And maybe that's enough.

But don't pretend he is some coaching genius with a revolutionary new system.
If he's a competent coach, that's a great improvement.

Yes, he was with Oats, and was his ace recruiter.
But he's been a head coach for one year longer than Gerry McNamara.

One thing you should remember is that Autry's weakness is not who he can recruit.
He's gotten us better talent than Boeheim did in his last 6 years or so.

Hodgson has won only 64% of his games at a relatively low level.
How'd you like them relying on the 2-3 zone last game?
Sure, it worked against Memphis.
Do you think that's going to work against Duke?
How thrilled were you guys to see Red break out the 2-3 this season?

Arkansas State was 13-20 before he got there.

It’s the same system Bama runs and he was Oats top recruiter until he left which is a lot better than the system Gmac runs.

There is no comparison to how they play to how we play. Zero.
 
Let’s not forget when Hodgson faced Schertz in the NIT tournament Arkansas State beat the mess out of Saint Louis. 103-78.
Hodgson’s style is the same as Oats. They end up as one of the best scoring offenses in NCAA but also one of the worst defenses.
Oats has been very successful with that strategy. I would assume Hodgson with Syracuse resources will be very successful as well.

Hodgson..

- Right hand man to Oats at UB. Turns them into top 25 team (which will never happen again) and beat an ok cuse team at Dome
- Goes to Alabama, turns a football school into a consistent basketball force. Known as “the shark” for his recruiting abilities.
- Leaves for Arkansas State, turns that program around, runs into a buzz saw that is James Madison (who beat Wisconsin in NCAA). Arkansas State was rolling probably would’ve won Sun Belt any other year. Next year there they win the regular season.
- Leaves for USF. Inherits sub .500 team whose coach unfortunately passed away a year prior. Immediately is now leading AAC (which is probably the second or third best mid major conference in the country)

Buffalo guy who understands the upstate ny culture when it comes to syracuse basketball. Is he not a perfect compromise for the people who want to keep it in the ‘cuse family. What am I missing?

If Schertz comes here and turns this thing around, he will leave for a blue blood. Hodgson feels like the guy that would stay here forever.

Add that to my list. Beat Schertz in postseason play by 25 while being at a school in a lesser conference with lesser resources. I think Schertz will be a great hire for an Ohio State, UCLA type of school but I don’t see it being as great a fit here. People forget too, St. Louis was a disappointment last year. It’s taken Schertz a solid year or two at each of his respective rebuilds (which is fine don’t get me wrong). Hodgson has shown more of an ability to turn things around right from year one. I feel like Syracuse needs some immediate juice and Hodgson has done that at literally every spot he’s been at.

Benches clearing brawl to end St. Louis vs.VCU game. Not a good look and it looks like there was a brawl last year also according to one comment.

Watching this game last night, I think Hodgson’s team might play a little tougher and more physical. SLU is a lot of one on one based on matchups. Both teams like to jack up a lot of threes. Both are good coaches, but Hodgson might be the better recruiter. With that being said, we’ll probably end up with an unknown. If there are buys out in play, I can see SU going cheap.
