I can’t imagine he would want to do that. And I don’t know if it actually would be a good hire. NBA and college are very different games. And can you imagine an NBA guy having to deal with the constant issue of the portal and roster retention?
Kind of understand what you are saying, but also it worked out pretty well for BYU with Kevin Young. Granted they do have unlimited NIL funds. But they are fun to watch and fill up the scoreboard.
Which I already think is necessary. If we want to be successful in the portal and recruiting in the NIL era, we are going to have to get a GM. I believe that almost every team in the SEC pretty much has one at this point one would think.
The new athletic director will probably be announced in 2028, that is when Castiglione is officially retiring
It's basically NBA free agency. He would just be more involved at the college level.
NBA players are under contact for multiple years and most coaches are not directly involved with free agency. No nba coach has to deal with constantly working to keep their roster together from year to year, or worry about renegotiating contracts during the season.
(sigh) Yep.
Real pain? Looking at my top coaching candidates to replace Moser over the last few years. *Grant instead of Moser
So many missed chances. And so many people on this board who shared Joe C's apparent view that three (or four) years of crappy basketball wasn't enough time to evaluate Moser.
I think Schertz, Calhoun, and Skinn are quickly becoming my top 3 options in that order. After that, I think Hodgson at USF would at least be an intriguing option.
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.
Not saying that he would definitely be a candidate, but would love if we took a look at Eric Olen at New Mexico. He was at UC San Diego last year (12 seed in tournament, almost beat Michigan). They have gotten off to a hot start this year, beat Mississippi State and put up a competitive fight against Nebraska. Would definitely be at the top of my list imo.
I could get behind this as an option. Almost all of his coaching experience came at UC San Diego but he has produced really good teams and got them up to speed following the jump from D2 to D1 pretty quickly. Also, he's from Mobile so he has SEC roots at the very least
And also another noteworthy thing is that he inherited ZERO players from last year's team at New Mexico
