Obviously if BC offered McNamara a job he'd take it and never look back.

But BC cannot win like UConn.  I know both well.  I was a huge BC fan in my younger days, and my best friend's father was in the administration there. I have childhood friends who went there and know the current dynamic well.  I live in CT and have several friends who are Huskies boosters.

The culture of the two schools couldn't be more different.

For all the grief UConn gets here, they are VERY serious about competing at the highest level of every sport.  That they've been shut out of a power conference, largely for circumstances beyond their control, hasn't prevented them from fielding championship-winning hoops teams and a surprisingly competitive football team.

BC mostly wants to project an illusion of caring about sports, but does not fund them in any way close to what's necessary (other than hockey) and not close to UConn, that's for certain.

BC would need a RADICAL change of culture to ever support the kind of athletic department that UConn has.

**edit**  BC could hire Dan Hurley. But BC would [I][U]never[/U][/I] have paid Dan Hurley to keep him from going to the Lakers like UConn did.
