Marquette UCONN

[ralphdaltonfan]

Probably none of them. Hurley stated that if he brings a guy in, and that guy seems bored or is on his phone during the stay, then UCONN moves onto the next guy. As it should be. Someone like that isn't teachable. I work with dips like that. They always seem bored to death at work, but they don't actually do much and all they do is complain and make threats about quitting.

Cal probably loves kids on their phones as he views them as bored with the idea of college, and waiting for something better.

Actually Cal has stated recently he had to take their phones--because they were all reading where the "Mock Drafts" were placing them and let that effect them. LOL

True story. Cal is 100% correct about how he tries to talk with the players about this but they still will get upset because Scoop McDunk's Mock Draft has them undrafted and come to find out Scoop McDunk is a 12 yr old at Ballsack Elementary.

You aren’t a big fan of Hurley are you? Or am I remembering that wrong?

I like Danny Hurley. Don't think they can get him at all. Think Bobby sucks as a HC.

 

[CatPatrick13]

Man, if you don't love to listen in on Danny Hurley coaching up his players, you just don't appreciate good coaching.

This.

Gotcha, might have been thinking of Bobby.

I don’t think it makes sense for Hurley to leave what he’s put together. I think Oats or Lloyd are the best bets.

If Mitch wants Drew then Mitch can GTFO like Cal. Drew should not be first call. But bottom of the top 5.

You don’t have Drew as a top ten active coach?

 

[permdaddy]

Not true. Mitch wants Drew.

Hurley wouldn't come here IMO. He has 0 reason to do so.

Never seen Jones and Tucker as sure on anything as they are that Scott Drew is the one Barnhart wants. If they are right he will almost certainly be the first person offered. Hurley is a very serious coach and my number one choice. I don't think he will come either but I would make him say no.

I mean.. Baylor nearly has the same record as us this year...

Well we are Kentucky and they are Baylor so …….none of our 5 NCAA championship winning coaches had ever won a title before arriving at Kentucky. Being at Kentucky matters .

 

[bbncal02]

UConn is gonna win it AGAIN. Hurley should be the next coach. Unquestionably. But he won’t leave.

UConn is fighting to be the next gold standard. And succeeding.

Dan Hurley style of play, philosophy, and doesn't care about NBA and can recruit, and will probably win back to back titles at UCONN make Hurley the front runner over Scott Drew. Again, he shouldn't be first call.

I said he should be in the bottom of the top 5 calls. Which makes him number 5 of 1. Dan Hurley should be 1st, Drew should be 5th.

I think 90+% of us agree but Brainfart seems to have his guy. Our only hope is a committee that over rules him however I don't think that will happen with Capilouto as president him and MB are very tight. He didn't want Cal either but the hierarchy and his stature have changed since 2009.

I absolutely agree. I would walk to UConn to help him pack. Drew would be about my 5th choice. But I would still be very happy to replace what’s left of Calipari with Drew .

Well duh, everyone agrees Hurley should be the first call, just seems odds are low he would leave. Who do you have 2-4?

I think Hurley would come if the offer was right and the right timing.

1. Dan Hurley
2. Bruce Pearl
3. Tommy Lloyd
4. Nate Oats
5. Scott Drew

No one from the NBA, it doesn't work out.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

I don't see him winning a second one. Elite coaches win one then get fat and coast on lifetime contracts.

Respectfully disagree with that list - def Drew over 2-4 you have listed.

Remember about Hurley - he played college basketball in the northeast , coached entire time in college in northeast. Especially if Uconn wins the the title this season, got to make a offer that makes him the highest paid coach without a doubt.

Your five is my five. I know some aren’t realistic though.

What's your compelling reasons why Drew should be the 2nd call, other than he has won a title.

Watching Hurley coach is like watching a young Rick Pitino coaching. Hungry, focused, prepared, driven to succeed.

Now compare that to what we currently have.

What’s your compelling reason Drew is behind Lloyd, Pearl and Oats?
