Kolek planning to go pro
It’s always the same guys. Can’t know intent but Davison doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.https://twitter.com/SteveBmSu/status/1484716132212908032?s=20
What a detestable little piece of crap he is.

Add Bobby Hurley to the long list of failed K disciples.He's not only losing big, but he's getting suspended and fined for being abusive to refs.
I don't think I would call him a Coach K "disciple." He played for him, but never coached for him. He hooked on to his brother's staff at Wagner as a second career because he wasn't very good at raising thoroughbred horses.I think his main problem was he worked his way up the ranks really quick and never really "paid his dues."
His brother did the exact opposite by the way. Spent time on the bench at Rutgers, coached high school for a decade before going to Wagner, and then spent six seasons at URI before moving to UConn. That's probably why his transition has been so much smoother.
Of course, one could argue that Dan hasn't proven much, either: 11 seasons (this is #12) at 3 schools, a .500-ish conference record, 3 NCAA appearances, 2 NCAAT wins. He does seem to have more going for him than Bobby, though.
Circumstances matter though. Wagner was mediocre as hell under Deane. Only finished above .500 in conference once 7-8 years and won only 5 games before he was booted. In just 2 seasons, Hurley got them to a 25 win season, upsetting a ranked Pitt on the road, and finishing just behind a LIU team in the conference that had a strong run.Then went to URI, which had done nothing post Harrick for 10+ years. Were aggressively "ok" under Baron, again under .500 in conference for the balance of a decade. Hurley turned them into the class of the A10 (which was rapidly improving) in the span of 5 years. Won the first URI NCAA game in 20 years and the first back to back NCAA appearances in that time.That to me is a program builder/turnaround artist. Remains to be seen what he does fully at UCONN, but the work at those 2 schools, plus being an absolute beast at St Benedicts is a pretty solid coaching bonafide. Not sure what else he could have "proven" pre-UCONN.

Chris Mack is going to get fired tomorrow at this rate. He obviously can't come back next year, and getting annihilated at UVA is rock bottom.
Would Xavier fire Steele and try to make a run at Mack again? A lot of fans are really unhappy with Steele
Chris Mack is a great example why coaches are leery about leaving good jobs at power schools. He was set for life at Xavier, and while it was good of him to take a shot at Louisville, where he lands next is going to be interesting.
Which is the best conf among the AAC, WCC, or ACC?
I said at the time that Mack was making a big mistake . You don't mess with happy and success.
