Quite sure no.

BC cares about:

1.) Hockey
2a.) Sailing
2b.) Football
distant 4.) Basketball

They are content to be doormats with widespread student apathy towards college hoops. I would love to see them call up Buzz and see how long it takes him to say no.

They should seriously call Wardle though.

[Atticus]

I cant think of a better fit for BC than Mike Lonergan. Great coach with ties throughout mid-atlantic and new england. Hiring him would be a huge step in the right direction for BC. They need to build a reputation off of the new ACC members.

"Do we have a basketball team?"

[Stringer]

I agree with Atticus.  Lonergan is the best choice - please no Amaker!  Though BC may be a step down from GW,.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Donahue needed to be fired. He had a senior laden crew this year and still couldn't get out of the basement of the ACC. Best they could do was beat Syracuse, lol

[Atticus]

early candidates for BC job:

Tommy Amaker (Harvard), Mike Hopkins (Syracuse), Derek Kellogg (UMass)

[77ncaachamps]

They need a coach with NE roots.

Buzz would not be a good fit and neither would Wardle.

Recruiting from the state and the NE prep schools will help get this team back on track.

Jim Calhoun interested in BC job

Former UConn coach Jim Calhoun has significant interest in the vacant Boston College opening, multiple sources told ESPN.

Calhoun, 71, stepped down before the start of the 2012-13 season after suffering a broken hip in a bike-riding accident. He's a native of Braintree, Mass.; attended American International College in Springfield, Mass.; and then coached Northeastern in Boston from 1972-86.

Former UConn coach Jim Calhoun is interested in returning to the sidelines.
Calhoun, who is the special assistant to UConn athletic director Warde Manuel, told ESPN last week that he is in good health and reiterated that he would not rule out a return to coaching. When reached for comment on Friday morning, Calhoun declined to talk specifically about any interest in the BC job. However, he did not rule out his interest in returning to the sidelines.

"I would not be opposed to talking to anyone about basketball," Calhoun said.

Calhoun took over the UConn program in 1986 and won three national championships -- in 1999, 2004 and 2011 -- in 26 seasons at the helm. He was replaced by Kevin Ollie, who led the Huskies to the NCAA tournament in his second season since taking over for Calhoun.

Calhoun's career record is 873-380 and he's one of eight Division I coaches in NCAA history to have won more than 800 games.

Boston College parted ways with Steve Donahue earlier in the week after four seasons and a 54-76 mark. The Eagles were 8-24 this past season and 4-14 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.

Calhoun was also instrumental in ending the BC-UConn rivalry when the Eagles departed the Big East to join the ACC.

"We won't play BC after they leave here. I have no desire to play Boston College," Calhoun was quoted as saying in The Hartford Courant. "Not for the fact that they are leaving, but how they did it. I will not play Boston College as long as I'm here.''

When I read the interview run locally with him earlier this week, I got the impression that "return to sidelines" meant coaching the Olympic Team or something like that.  In the same interview he said he did not miss the recruiting and the traveling involved with it and did not want to do that part anymore.
