I like that Wikipedia had been edited to list him as the coach of Georgetown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tommy_Amaker&oldid=771812647

(been edited to revert the change, but the version linked should show it)

[forgetful]

I had suggested in the superbar thread awhile back that Amaker would be a good target and that Georgetown University has enough prestige to potentially lure his wife away from Harvard.

The other names I'd target would be Danny Hurley and Patrick Ewing (the latter for obvious reasons).  Hurley has strong East Coast ties and would likely excel at Georgetown.

Methinks it will be a GTown Alum.
They haven't had to think about a coaching hire since 1972... so it will be difficult to go outside the "family".

That would leave only one hopeless team in the BEAST...  Unfortunately they're happy being hopeless.

[jsglow]

Bout flippin' time.

[wadesworld]

I am going to guess that Patrick Ewing is the next Georgetown coach.

Agreed.

[wadesworld]

I don't think Tony Bennett is leaving for any other college job, and certainly not this one, but I'd kill to see Tony Bennett there.

You guys think Crean would be better suited for DePaul or Georgetown?

Depaul. Midwest connections and it'd give us an excuse to start hating on Depaul again

[manny31]

What about Archie Miller? Did he take another job or is he still at ABDayton?

But then you'd have to watch his teams play. Hard pass.

My guess is he was gonna leave, he would have left of NC State, his alma mater.

Good news for the Big East in general as  . However, this will make the league even tougher and put even more premium on winning 11-12 games non conference. 

[Newsdreams]

Casual Hoya tweeted out that's the name they've been hearing.

So, #donedeal or respect the process?

Right, because we don't pick on DePaul much here.

But I agree.  A new coach at GU will be enough to put butts in seats.  At DePaul though... I don't know if even a new arena will get that done.  Crean is (was?) good at that sort of thing.

picking on them is us making fun of the state of the program. Hating them is them being a worthy rival again.

I think this is a bad assumption.  I think he has a list like his older bro did and he goes when one of them come calling.

I still don't understand why all of you want these BE programs to not lose coaches, and be great all the time. Yeah yeah, prestige. So what? All a better Gtown, Better DePaul etc do is make it harder for MU to win conference championships etc. When this new BE was formed..I was hoping/wanting it to be a conference MU ran roughshod over every year..ala Memphis in CUSA not long ago.

I think all of us here would take being the Gonzaga of the BE. I sure as hell would.

Whatever makes it easier for MU to make the dance every year..I'm all for. If that means a lessor BE overall, so be it.

Strange logic there.

Playing in a quality conference full of good teams does make it easier for MU to get into the tourney.
I'd much rather be in a conference 10-8 gets you into the Big Dance, than one in which you have to finish in the top 1 or 2 or win the conference tourney (see: AAC, A-10).

Because as soon as Cal left, Memphis became an afterthought. The Big East ads cache.  And it only ads cache when it is strong.

Best case scenario would be for MU to go undefeated in conference play, with all other Big East Teams being undefeated in non-con and going 1-1 against all of their other conference opponents, which would be all-out wars with every game being won by a 1-point margin in OT.

You need to clear that cache every once in awhile.

You must not be a season ticket holder.  Or even watch many MU games for that matter.  Who wants to watch 20 point wins every night?

Been a season ticket holder for 16 years, and watch EVERY road game on TV. I would LOVE to see 20 point wins every night..I don't care how MU wins, as long as they do. Besides, games like that are much easier on my overall health.

What?? I think everyone on this board would want us to win by 20 points every night in the Big East.

Edit - For sure do not agree with guru saying he prefers a lesser BE.
