Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cusefan78]

Worried about UNC. They might very well be firing Hubert Davis at season's end... Especially if they lose to Syracuse tomorrow

No chance we win

Honestly I think Medved will end up a solid hire for MN, host of circumstances stacked against him this year

This. The cupboards were absolutely empty, and they’ve been hobbled by injuries. I have zero reservations saying he would bring a team with SU’s talent safely to the NCAAT.

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.

You’ve had some pretty, I’ll say, interesting… yes interesting… posts this week.

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

My Twitter feed is full of delusional USF fans trying to convince themselves that USF is somehow a better job than SU for some reason lol.

He gone.

Their two best players might be out ... Wilson and Veesaar. If so, should be close game lol...look what NC State did

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.

As long as we can get one of Hodgson or Schertz we are in great shape in my opinion. You can’t lose with either and thus in both cases we have a real shot to get back to what we expect to be.

Yes for sure, I meant Syracuse not getting into the Big 10 or the SEC and not turning the basketball program around leading to apathy. We still have a window to turn it around.

Slow... start for the Billikens

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

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

If those are the choices, shutter the program

 

[sufan59]

So far Martelli is outcoaching Schertz on game plan. We'll see if Schertz can get an adjustment.

Safe to say that Schertz made an adjustment

 

[Cuse4455]

Shertz makes adjustments! I didn't know a HC could do that!?!

 

[phil77]

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.
