Seems like a natural. I’m assuming the pros allow him to maintain his AAU team? I know that kept him out of college according to various reports posted on this board when Cal was looking to fill a vacancy a time or two.

We have a weird contingent of UK fans who openly trash him on here. Not sure why that it is. He's always been loyal to UK and has been one of our most successful players in the NBA.

Would’ve loved to bring him aboard here, wishful thinking probably..

I love me some Rondo. And there’s no doubt he was one of the most cerebral players in the NBA.

But, I don’t expect that he’ll be a good coach. Too surly. Too prickly. He doesn’t suffer fools. And let’s face it; there are a lot of fools in the NBA.

His resume makes him substantially more qualified to be a head coach than J.J Redick. So there's that.

Rondo > Chris Paul

I think he has the potential to be a decent coach. Whether or not he progresses in a “coach” capacity is a crap shoot… But for sure he was hell of a player.

Pope should reach out to him immediately and see if he would be interested some sort of position in the future. Everybody that has ever been around Rondo rave about his intelligence in the game of basketball from his coaches to players he played with calling him the smarest player they've ever been around throwing out quotes like" He's a savant he sees everything". Plus he would be a player magnet in recruting not only for new recruits but for players in the portal.

Ehh I just don't see that coming to fruition at anytime. I think Rondo is probably looking for somewhere where he can be the lead guy. I think Pope probably has a lot of respect for Rondo and vice versa but Rondo has a very strong personality and I just don't think it fits into what we have going on at this time at least.

Lets hope this never happens but it looks like Cal has reached out to Rondo in the past, so you put these two guys together recruiting at Arkansas it would be take up the song books it's over. Add that with Rondo's attention to detail and knowledge of the game and his ability to think and see everything in realtime it's Game over. And Yes I think Rondo is one of the few Cal would listen to.
