Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

[foby]

Well, at least Hamer is making us more defensive.

My case of the Mondays yesterday is what prevented me from getting what was apparently a joke today. So... technically correct.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Well if you guys don't like it here, come on over to the Recruiting thread where we're currently discussing whether or not a top 10 Euro prospect who is in Nike Hoop Summit is good enough to play for us

I hear he’s non-athletic, competed against young non-professionals and is not the rim-runner we need. DAMMIT HAMER!!!!!

 

[sacraig]

I don't really want to go there cuz the rails are going off quick...but this is just fun now.

I mean...you kinda started the whole conversation on the last thread?... with the same post you started this thread with? lol

Did I? I made that post at breakfast (intent on making the same post every day until we have an answer) and then promptly had a day so busy that I didn't log back into the site, I believe, until my kids were in bed. I can't be expected to remember all the way back to yesterday.

Ugh, hate those tough days when you have to take breaks from Loyalty

Hamer is a toothache to the basketball program.

Much rather have you put your energy in and focus on your “Diary,” @RabidDawgClassic.

Right? I had the jitters all day from withdrawal.

Please provide five (5) separate and independent bases, with citations, which you believe make you qualified to ask that question.

Pick any 5 games you want to rewatch from this past season

Give me 5 independent bases for why you feel the need to be an a-hole for no reason?

C'mon boys, make up and let's move along. There's work to do. Our program isn't going to kvetch about itself.

Second page and already....

I get the memory issues but do you really expect an answer until it becomes official?

 

[Oracle21]

Has Underwood ever fired an assistant coach? Expecting him to seems ridiculous

Tell the truth. Did you just want to use kvetch in a sentence?

PS: I get it…it’s a cool word.

Jamall Walker got kinda-sorta double secret probation fired, for what exactly has never been entirely clear.

The ironic thing is, in order to accurately gauge the tone for each day’s diary, I have to channel my energy into each and every post. But I’ve accepted this life… at least through portal season.

It was either that or "ululate." Frankly I didn't want to work that hard. But since you've raised it:

C'mon boys, make up and let's move along. There's work to do. Our program isn't going to ululate on its own.

Not really carousel related, but my questions are coaching related. I’ve always heard coaches frequently gather at Final Four with potential ACs they’re looking to make connections/get a job. With the portal now going strong during the course of most of the tournament, is this still the case? Do employed HCs and ACs still go to FF? Were BU and any Illini assistants in San Antonio or is there just too much to do with recruiting even in s dead period to take that time away?

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

I absolutely love that movie; it makes me ululate.

Check out the steak dinner picture, from last Fridays thread. Most ACs were with Brad in SA.

Ever?

Jamaal Walker
Chester last year it was led to believe he was allowed to seek employment elsewhere instead of being outright fired.

So, yes

 

[BalloonsTheElephant]

I assume most assistants are rarely fired and often allowed to move elsewhere quietly, unless there is some major scandal.

Saw the photo but didn’t realize that was in San Antonio. Thanks.

No, which is why I'll keep the issue alive diligently until we have an answer.
