Really impressive young man. Chose to stay at Breck for the academics instead of rolling over to the the basketball powers.
Jordan Murphy, Nate Mason. I have been on the fire Pitino train for 2 years, but to say no players have gotten any better is silly. Even if they receive no coaching in 4 years, plenty of players will get better due to maturity, strength and conditioning, and practice time.
With the new transfer rules, we basically become Colorado State/Utah State, right?
He also got Mo Walker to drop like 50 pounds and play much better his senior year. I was very impresse with Pitino in year 1. Years 6-8? Not so much.
That team had potential. Having one sweet 16 caliber team in 8 years isn't good enough. Especially when some of the other years are complete train wrecks. Pitino has not been able to get the train back on the track after it was derailed. Neither could Tubby. It's time to move on.
I've always been impressed with Nagy--from the time his teams came into Williams Arena and played like they knew what they were doing out there. He'd be a marked upgrade from Pitino coaching-wise for sure...but at this point it's not a matter of who'd be an upgrade, but what's the best choice among what looks like an impressive field of available talent. This is a good point in history to make a hire from that standpoint.
Right. Still 2019 top boys high school athlete in the state. Could've played DI football or basketball for mid-majors, and probably walked-on for either Pitino or Fleck.
Pretty much setting up to be Utah St vs Colorado St for the MWC title, and the first right of refusal to be Minnesota's next head coach.With the new transfer rules, we basically become Colorado State/Utah State, right?
Likely even better at football. Maybe he will come here. Suppose if that staff did he would come along. Not thinking that staff comes here as I think Pitino will be here.
Will you say that no matter what happens for the rest of the season?
I’d be cool with Nagy.
No. I am saying it with the maroon hope that we finish with only one more loss.
I've always been a big booster of his. What we're finding out now is how tough it is to win in Lincoln. Hoiberg is a very good coach and program builder.
Hoiberg is 51-62 in conference, has not won anything and does short stop transfer building, nothing sustainable.
Not the best option but not the worst.
OK. You're usually plugged in though, so thought you were saying you had heard that it was known he was not going to be let go this year, or something like that.
not that plugged in and I have not heard he will be let go after this year. I did hear that if not for cover last year they would have made the move.
If we make it to the sweet 16 which is farther than we've been in 30 years I'll likely forget the 3 game skid in Jan/Feb and be happy with the team and coach.
