2019 Coaching Carousel

[genious expert]

One coaching position I would like to see is for MU to hire Duane Wilson as a graduate assistant . I was very impressed at how he conducted himself that last year at Texas A and M. He is a solid leader and can relate to the younger kids on the team . Given the surplus of talent locally a helpful recruiting asset as well.1

It would not surprise me if Buzz reaches out to him at the new gig. Wojo should get there first.

The best analogy I could think of was when Brett Bilema left Wisconsin football on his own volition to go to Arkansas football. He did it for the money and to coach in the SEC even though The Hogs were second tier. For $20 million coaches will do strange things....

For $20 million the list of strange stuff I would do would be pretty damn long.......

I just have a feeling we may be losing Stan this offseason.

Tonight's results not withstanding...I would feel like I was rooting for/supporting UW if TB was MU's Coach..Same style's. HATE it. Now North Carolina's style on the other hand...sign me up any day for that!

You don't complain about the results and celebrate the F4, but its gotta kind of be frustrating as a UVA fan.  You have Guy, Jerome, Hunter, and Diakite who can get up and score with the best of them, but you still play the plodding stall style.  Tonight was a prime example of it.  Be efficient and measured, sure, but score for the love of god when you have the weapons!

It was at first in 2009, then Tony changed his mind too late.

I've heard this also from contacts in Virginia.

[MUDPT]

I’d heard that TB had a buyout for every school in the country, save UW. Not sure if that’s why they dragged their feet with Gard.

So if I told you Marquette would make the final four, and the only sacrifice you had to make was watching them play slower, you wouldn't take it.

Eye don't geev two chits about style o' play, as long azz wee win, hey?

If it was GUARANTEED, sure I'd take it, who wouldn't??  But over the long term, I just don't think styles like that are sustainable for long NCAA tourney runs(see, last year). I'd rather have a run and gun style(like North Carolina), with those type of athletes.

Yeah...not like his dad had ncaa success at UW and now tb has his team in the ff in relatively short order.  Defense travels...

I'm not sure what you mean by "short order."  This was his tenth season at UVA.

But the idea that somehow Bennett wouldn't be a good choice for Marquette because they would play too much like UW is really something.

This.

Maybe the style of play slows everything down around it and it just SEEMS like he's been there 10 yrs. Maybe he's actually only been there 3 years

In all seriousness, while watching that game last night, I had the thought "this is slow, boring basketball?"

You realize it took them until OT to score 80 points?? Well for Virginia, last night was exciting basketball..There are teams(like UNC) that AVERAGE over 80 points per game.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It was exciting for Virginia fans because they won.  Marquette's Elite 8 team under Buzz didn't exactly set the world on fire pace-wise.

That Elite 8 team averaged 68.1 ppg. Guru must have been miserable that season.
And, fwiw, Virginia averages 71.3 ppg this year.

Any idea where he lands?

Not sure if discussed already, but looks like St John's losing their best recruiter

Repeat it one more time including destination and you'll get a lollipop.

Say it three times in the mirror and Stan will appear behind you.

Not against Virginia they don't......NC has played Virginia 3 times over the last 2 years.....they are 0-3.....that high powered offense scored 49.....63 and 61.

Virginia's offense may be slow paced but the big difference this season is that it is the 2nd most efficient in the country.......last year it was only 30.

Lets say Wisconsin did want him, and Virginia allowed Bennett to buy out for any team EXCEPT Wisconsin.  For the sake of argument, let's say the buyout is $1 million.

a) Bennett expresses interest in the Wisconsin job but claims he's stuck by his buyout.

b) Wisconsin puts out word that they'd be willing to pay a buyout that's $500,000 more than the current Virginia buyout should some other school ever pry Bennet away from Virginia.

b) A perpetually underfunded D1 program puts 2 and 2 together and realizes that they could double their basketball operating budget if they hire Bennett, knowing that Wisconsin immediately offers Bennett and buys out the new contract. Grambling pays the $1 million buyout to Virginia, Bennett signs a new contract with Grambling with a $1.5 million buyout.

c) Wisconsin then hires Bennett from Grambling, paying the $1.5 million buyout to Grambing.
