Coach Search Options after Autry

[Sherman20]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is our Dan Hurley in so many different ways….this chance rarely comes around.

Anyone other than Hodgson is a complete failure … even Schertz

Schertz would also be an absolute home run if we hired him, not in any way a failure. He’s been at the top of my list since last season. But Hodgson would be great and I’d be thrilled with the hire. It really should be one of them.

Some of you all and your opinion on BH

The announcers want USF to play some 2-3 zone. If this were a book, I'd call that foreshadowing.

I was hoping to watch the entire 2nd half, but with all these whistles it's going to be a long game with a lot of foul shots and possibly only subs playing. Hope it picks up. Definitely favoring Memphis.

Yup seems they are trying to keep Memphis in the game with all these fouls. Slowing the game way way way down.

Memphis is getting some favorable calls on some weak fouls. Not the one they're reviewing right now, but overall.

That said, I'm biased. I want USF to win AND I like when Memphis loses.

 

[Cuse1055]

USF has “spurtability”.

 

[cuseattle]

Yeah, that escalated quickly. Pretty much over

 

[phil77]

Memphis has to be able to defend USF as well as they did in the first half.

???? LOL USF scored 51 in the first half

 

[phil77]

OMG every single play it is a foul

 

[Starman]

OMG every single play it is a foul

It's hard to watch. Just keep count of the fouls and shoot them all at once when the game clock hits zero

 

[phil77]

This game sucks, I don't care who wins. This is dumb to watch turning it off

 

[35kcuse]

I love that I can say “this is the worst game i’ve ever watched” and the team I’m rooting for is up multiple possessions .

 

[orangepassion]

I am sure if the choice is Hodgson him and Melo will have a conversation.

Considering his son is on the team, would seem very likely

 

[orangepassion]

Think Hodgson is the play. But this is going to sound a little crazy and not saying he ends up here. But I bet Oats’ agent gets a call from our New AD and Chancellor

Good. Let's act like a big-time school and explore everything.

 

[phil77]

Nothing from Pinion and nothing really from Nelson and they scored 96 and clinched the division title outright.

57 foul shots and 50 fouls. Ouch.

 

[Starman]

I know we talk a lot about how empty the Dome is, but Memphis is so empty that you can hear the fans chirping at each other as the game ends.

Schertz is 27-3 this year vs Hodgson 22-8 in a weaker conference. Schertz also had a 83% winning percentage at Lincoln Memorial and a 32 win season at Indiana State. Hodgson is very good, but there's a reason most consider Schertz the top guy on the market

I think anybody would be happy with either. Fwiw, I think the AAC has been the better conference in the last 5 years or so. But, it’s definitely debatable.

Hodgson has upstate new york ties which is exciting and is younger with more room to grow as a coach.

Style has been proven to be effective at power five level (Nate Oats) and I feel through my research that Hodgson has that unteachable swagger. Seems to use NIL/Transfer portal/modern analytics to his advantage.

Again, not points to compare to Schertz or say that they make him a better candidate. Just explaining the reasoning for the significant buzz around him.

 

[Digger]

If you asked me 5 years ago, I would not have guessed that USF v Memphis would rank as high as it does for my most enjoyable Syracuse related basketball games of the past few seasons.

 

[Blanko97]

JW is/was not as lame duck as many are making it seem on here.

Yes he retiring. Yes there obviously was some drama but there are absolutely some inaccuracies being reported in this group.

By definition he’s a “lame duck.” Now since we’re naming an AD Monday it doesn’t matter as much since they’ll be working while JW advises but the label isn’t technically wrong as of right now

 

[hoopsupstate]

They certainly push the ball and shoot threes. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired. They play hard, but not great defense.

 

[gmoney44]

The bigger question now is about all that NIL money Melo was organizing and floating around Hop… and just where this outcome puts all of that money…

I’d rather have the right coach and less NIL money than the wrong coach with more NIL money.

We aren’t taking anyone from an SEC/Big10/Notre Dame School that they actually want.
