That invented these people called assistant coaches years ago. They can and often do handle a lot of that. We routinely see football coaches hired by a new school finishing out the season with the former. They get assistants in place at their new job to get things going while they are finishing up at the old. No reason Donovan can't do the same. He can also opt to just leave the Bulls. They aren't going deep anyway.Scott Drew, Billy Donovan can’t bring his players with him and if he doesn’t come for a month there will be no players on the team next year.
I don't think it's that we don't want him here. He's just not many people's top choice. I've only seen a few people outright say they would never want him.I hope Scott Drew has some people monitoring sites like this and social media. Hopefully he is seeing UK fans do not want him here.
Would you care to elaborate why he's the perfect fit?Billy D is my top choice even over Hurley. Like Cal in 2009, he just seems like the perfect fit at the perfect time.
That said, I'd be fine with Drew and think he would do well here.
This is very similar to my way of thinking.Would be happy with either, but slight edge to Drew because I do have some concerns about Billy re-adapting to the modern college game.
The college basketball he left a decade ago is not the same. Tasked with rebuilding an entire roster from scratch, with nobody able to follow him from his current place of employment (obviously), I'm just not sure what that would look like.
Maybe he figures it out and it's a non-issue, but that worry is reason enough to me to give a slight edge to Drew.
My order:
1. Hurley
2. Drew
3. Donovan
I hope Scott Drew has some people monitoring sites like this and social media. Hopefully he is seeing UK fans do not want him here.
National Championships that were 20 years ago.If I have to choose between the two. Give me four final fours and two national championships and a boatload of NBA experience.
That's not a valid reason to base the hire of a coach for your program. That's very short term thinking.IMO, we get Donovan, Reed comes back.
You don’t think high school kids and transfers wouldn’t wanna play for a coach that knows what it takes for you to be an NBA player?National Championships that were 20 years ago.
And what does NBA experience get us? I'm sick of the NBA at this point.
You do know I hope coaches typically only "bring with them" 1-2 (maybe 3) players (including recruits).Scott Drew, Billy Donovan can’t bring his players with him and if he doesn’t come for a month there will be no players on the team next year.
1. He's a hire that I think 90% of UK fans would unite behind.Would you care to elaborate why he's the perfect fit?
Not taking Billy because Drew already has a recruiting class is short term thinking as well. Another half baked argument that keeps being bandied about by establishment connected individuals. So which is it? Can't have it both ways.That's not a valid reason to base the hire of a coach for your program. That's very short term thinking.
Nailed it1. He's a hire that I think 90% of UK fans would unite behind.
2. He's from the Pitino tree and plays a style that our fans like.
3. He has tons of NBA connections and will recruit very well because of it.
4. He knows how to build a championship roster of multi-year players.
5. He understands the history and tradition of UK and would likely have a strong desire to bring us a title.
6. He's already scratched his NBA itch.
7. He will be very well received by the old guard boosters at UK who will keep the NIL money flowing.
Won’t be late if he goes ahead and resigns in Chicago. All of our haters would shit a brick if Billy D takes this job.Next year would be a throw away year. Billy has zero shot of rebuilding that roster as late as he'd be coming on.
LOL....some don't want him here, you don't speak for ALL fans.I hope Scott Drew has some people monitoring sites like this and social media. Hopefully he is seeing UK fans do not want him here.
