Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2413246, member: 289"] Why would McNamara be the guy to replace JB? Adrian Autry has more experience and tenure and this title is "associate head coach". I would think he's the new "heir apparent". As to Hopkins, there are two precedents that may or may not be relevant here. Denny Crum, who was John Wooden's right hand man before he got the Louisville job. He decided he'd rather stay where he'd built up his own program and legend than to "come home" to UCLA and replace a legend there: [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny_Crum"]Denny Crum - Wikipedia[/URL] Roy Williams, who took the same stance during a successful career at Kansas before changing his mind: [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Williams_(coach)"]Roy Williams (coach) - Wikipedia[/URL] Roy changed his mind at age 53. Mike is 47. As noted above, Mike is hardly Denny Crum or Roy Williams yet. [/QUOTE]
