Coach Search Options after Autry

[phil77]

I know this is going to sound crazy, but I could see a scenario where none of the players on this year's team come back next year.

The new staff could decide to go in a different direction from George or think that he's overpaid, who knows with Kiyan, White was an Autry guy, the Betsey camp has been disgruntled, and Souare would probably bail if George does. And Freeman might bail to go to a winner / team that can help elevate his draft status.

If the new staff wants to clean house, could be a full rebuild.

That is fine as well. If we go with Hodgson I think Kingz is a fit in his offense. Betsy and Anthony are fits as well. Freeman is a fit in any offense, really. I think Nait doesn't play fast enough, and when he does, he gets out of control too much, so I don't think he would be a great fit in the way Hodgson wants his PG to play.

Not a prediction, just saying it could legitimately happen.

I don't think it's crazy. This year with no coaching changes, we only kept 2 players.

That’s what happened at Miami this season.

I still think Schertz is very much in play

Schertz or Hodgson. Both would turn this around quickly. Hope it’s one of them. If not I will fully support who’s next but I think these are the top 2 realistic candidates.

It’s a bit different. Tons of people have tough childhoods and have to make the best of it. Not trying to debate that at all

The difference is Red was a star basketball player at Cuse. Because he achieved that he’s going to get coaching opportunities. Same with GMac or any other good player who shows an aptitude for coaching. Those guys didn’t have to toil away at small schools and work their way up the coaching ladder

Usually the best players don’t make the best coaches. I actually like coaches that played, but weren’t the start or even starter. They seem to have an additional layer of grit that makes they successful as a coach.

 

[BomberOrange]

We miss a wide open three. They make a three. Wash rinse repeat

 

[OrlandoCuse]

We’re going to lose this game to Duke. We’re down to 4 weeks left in the Red era. Can’t wait for this next coaching search to really get underway. I’m hoping we have a new coach named within the next 5 weeks. Anything beyond that and this board will get very antsy.

Chestnut Hill is gorgeous? My son is a student at BC Law and Chestnut Hill/Newton is overly expensive, full of construction, and nowhere to park. They have a Wegmans, but it’s so small and overpriced. Give me Dewitt, Fayetteville or Manlius any day

The qualifier is living there with money, for sure! Also the law school is separate from the main campus.

GMAC is a small town boy. Like Boeheim. You like what you know and feel comfortable with.

Arguably Brad Stevens was like that too.

Congratulations to your son! BC Law is an excellent school. The qualifier to my comment is definitely living there with lots of money. Just saying Gerry could very well end up sucked in like one of my favorite (former) basketball coaches Brad Stevens won’t leave Celtics for Indiana: ‘I’m a 44-year-old M’

I still think Schertz is very much in play

We can only hope. It would be so enjoyable to get a real coach at the helm to turn this thing around immediately!

I heard these two names as well as Richard Pitino today.

Pitino not having a good first season at Xavier.

Wildhack just pull the trigger. What else do you need to see and what else do we have to lose. Come on man

 

[23Zone]

Wildhack, it's just 4 words

Wildhack might be saving money by waiting depending on the terms of the contract.
