What job would you want in college basketball?

I'd like to be a statistician or something. Crunch numbers during games.
You aren’t crunching numbers in game. If you’re doing the inputting, you’re just clicking and typing. If you’re the caller, you’re just yelling out the plays to the inputter.
 
id like to be an assistant coach at a small university like UTEP. Be best friends with the head coach and just live easy. We have enough success that they never fire us, I stay by his side for 25 years then retire. Never a worry in the world
 
Coach. You can be terrible and still get insane buyouts and multiple chances. When it finally runs dry, you just go off and do commentary.

The dance team has reported up through my department in my last two jobs (including my current one)….the parents I have dealt with are insane!
That’s their little princesses. The entitlement that comes with pretty privilege gets bad. The entitlement when your kid has pretty privilege must be harrowing.

I know this thread is about basketball, but fired college football coach is the best job in America if you can get it. Millions of dollars a year to do nothing. Jimbo is living the dream.
 
Id fail because I'm unapologetically biased but I think a traveling color commentator is the peak of a career. Getting paid handsomely to travel and watch high level sports? Like Bilas doesn't go to trash games very often and does it with a good friend of his. If one of my best friends and I had that gig, I'd never retire.

Sweat mopper. I'd get myself a real mop and do it right.
Funny story, when I ran the Palestra, Penn was playing a pretty big game (I can’t remember who) and after free throws when the ball was going the other way down the court, I noticed an adult guy mopping the sweat. I went over the kid that was supposed to be doing it and asked who that was. He told me it was some random guy that paid him $20 to do it. I just chuckled and told him not to do that again.

Ref? Commentary? Coach? Assistant Coach? Athletic Director? If your answer is “none,” then just don’t answer, serves no purpose.

We give a lot of crap to people in all of these positions so which one would you enjoy or think you would be good at?
NCAA president so I can sit on my butt and do nothing while collecting millions of dollars

Statistical Analyst for UK, to include as a perk seats right behind the UK bench.
 
Starting power forward for the University of KY Wildcats. It is a job now you know. However, I would need to be a foot taller, 75# heavier, and 40 years younger.

Hey Drew. I’m Scott._UKfan. You still on Red meat?

I had multiple phone calls with a mother and father that their daughter was able to function at school because she wasn't voted caption of the dance team. I knew exactly why she didn't get voted in....no one on the team liked her. I had 2 meetings with the student in person and I could see why her teammates felt that way.
 
chairman/czar of the yearly NCAA tournament selection committee, a lifetime position.








no more screw jobs for Kentucky in the selection process. The yearly shenanigans will come to an end, with me as chairman...... or else I'll make their collective lives miserable, somehow. I promise you all, I would find a way.

We REALLY need this one to come true.

:)

ps - note to everyone else, pucker up !
lol
 
I’d like to put together the video highlights they play at the games. Would be fun as hell looking through all of the best plays ever and then deciding which ones make the cut.

The University of Texas El Paso has 25,000+ students.

trivia: it's main campus was built to resemble the Buddhist buildings in Bhutan.
