There is some smoke about Nazr coming in an NIL/GM type role! He has been in the OKC front office so this would be a good get and knows the expectations.
A Nazr hire would be huge. He's another guy that gets it.There is some smoke about Nazr coming in an NIL/GM type role! He has been in the OKC front office so this would be a good get and knows the expectations.
That's a good question. From the wording when it's been mentioned I wouldn't think so.Is this the huge assistant hire KSR has been hinting at?
Thats fuegerIs this the huge assistant hire KSR has been hinting at?
I like it. Recruits will see that our staff looks like basketball players.Pope trying to create the tallest coaching staff ever?
Need someone that is good manager or will be a weak link at the top. Would be a very serious job and not just a "he wants the job" or buddy like Cal did. I know nothing about his managerial skills. Would he be suited?
That would not qualify as a "huge" get IMO. Great assistant by all accounts but KSR said it's someone that everyone knows...Fueger is not that.Thats fueger
They made it sound like it would be a big name hire and since I had to Google this guy to see who he is I wouldn't think that is the home run guy they keep referring to.Thats fueger
He's extremely qualified. As I understand it, he's the GM of OKC's G-League team. He's already done this stuff at the highest level.Need someone that is good manager or will be a weak link at the top. Would be a very serious job and not just a "he wants the job" or buddy like Cal did. I know nothing about his managerial skills. Would he be suited?
If Fueger is the one responsible for BYU's offensive success and is Pope's right hand man, then he's immensely important.That would not qualify as a "huge" get IMO. Great assistant by all accounts but KSR said it's someone that everyone knows...Fueger is not that.
I'm not saying he isn't important but just that Matt Jones said we were going after a big name that would make a splash if he came. So while he is important he doesn't seem like the high profile name Jones insinuates is a possibility.If Fueger is the one responsible for BYU's offensive success and is Pope's right hand man, then he's immensely important.

Good, looks like he might be right one.These articles indicate that he should have a very good skillset for the type of position that he could fill at UK. If he can perform as the director of basketball operations for an NBA franchise, I would think that could correlate well to doing so in Lexington...in short, this doesn't appear to be a "buddy" hire

Oh, he is a homerun hire. The guy absolutely knows modern offense. Wouldn't be seeing any more of this "stand around gimme gimme gimme run out the shot clock bullsheet" we've watched under Calipari.They made it sound like it would be a big name hire and since I had to Google this guy to see who he is I wouldn't think that is the home run guy they keep referring to.

They suggested that Pope said the assistant would be bringing some guys with him….that doesn’t seem like he is talking about his BYU right hand man.Thats fueger
That is clearly not who they are talking about though. There is someone else that they said IF it happens would likely be announced today or tomorrow and could bring some guys with him. This is a name most would know already if it were to happen. I’m assuming it’s either a former player or a high profile assistant either in the NBA or college.Oh, he is a homerun hire.

I agree it would be a great hire, but Jones said it’s a big name that everyone knows. So these are probably two different hires.Oh, he is a homerun hire. The guy absolutely knows modern offense.

They'll be hiring Chuck Hayes for that.As long as Nazr isn't teaching FT shooting. 😁
