Sounds like Kwa is gone no matter what. Hamer is a maybe.. Tyler highly unlikely. Per those is the know.
Hamer better be gone or there will be an uprising.
Indy will lead the charge.
I think Collins would be a big hit at Villanova.
Tyler gets a lot of crap sometimes, and yes he's not as experienced as we might like, but the offense has not really been the issue since he started. I would expect the other two to get replaced. We'll see though, I have no inside knowledge of the program, just a fan.
Exactly. We have a top 15 offense this year. Had a top 5 offense last year. Tyler’s not the problem. We need to do a better job with evaluations (Booth was a big miss) and defensive coaching, which has been a big problem both of the last two years.
You don't think that's Northwestern? He's the exact program builder that fits Northwestern well.
Well, you better let him out! lol
He’s fine for a 5th AC, researching and working with the players. He’s not qualified to RUN a P4 offense. I don’t care who his dad is. He may be some day, but not now. A head coach sees when something isn’t working and makes changes during a game because you work on it in practice and you have already taught them how to do it beforehand. You don’t wait for a Duke game or MD game to say “we need to make some changes”. BU talked about running a special play to free Will. When I watch our games, I see NO ingenuity in play calling. I see standard actions being run. Some work. Some don’t. Then, we go iso or hope Tomi finds an open cutter. That’s always an option. If MD shuts down the lanes, we have what we got last night, no movement “and just better defense “. WRONG! A good offensive mind can always take away an aggressive defense because there’s a tipping point at which you take advantage of their zealousness IF you know how to counter each move. That’s a skill that only maybe 5 - 10 percent of the coaches today possess. Brad isn’t one of them and neither is Tyler or Hamer. Rant over!
A staff of Antigua, Tyler, Alexander, a good X-O defensive coach, and someone who can evaluate talent-particularly guards since I trust Antigua to do that with bigs until more proof shows me differently-would be a good staff.
That would seem to be true of all coaches seeking upward movement.
I look at other succeasful programs and it appears from the outside looking in their head coach oversees the offense and defense. They are also in the huddles drawing up BLOBS, SLOBS, and all other OBS. Is Brad simply the face? Or, are we just not as in tuned to other programs and the assistant are in charge of all these things?
I think we're seeing more and more "coordinator" positions in college basketball. Obviously, the head coach has final say, but at the power conference level the head coach also has a lot to do outside of X-Os. Here are just a few examples of this "expanded coordinator" role that I've seen.
Thanks. Any idea if Sandfort is available? He did a heckuva a job and I'd take him in some capacity, lol...I think we're seeing more and more "coordinator" positions in college basketball.

Pearl's kid at Auburn coordinates their defense. Mike Burgomaster's official title at Auburn includes "offensive coordinator" in it.
Jeff Linder left a head coaching job at Wyoming to handle the offense for Grant McCasland at Texas Tech. The Athletic had a great feature article on him this week.
Luke Murray does a lot of work with UConn's offense.
Hell, Payton Sandfort took over the coaching duties Thursday for Iowa after Fran was ejected. He had the coach's chair in the next timeout huddle.
So I think the "coordinator" role is becoming much more common in the college game.
