Rumor on the UDU board is that we’ve asked permission to contact him.

If true - does not make me feel very confident about Kelsey.

We contact him, but no Mike Rice?

The last post on that thread makes me believe we haven’t contacted Blaine.

I know it’s not a lateral move, but the step up isn’t that big. ODU has a good program and already has football.

ugh

Also, someone posted on the ODU board that Blaine Taylor was not a candidate here, but that we have been working with the Villa 7 Consortium to find our next HC.

http://www.sportleadership.vcu.edu/villa7/history.html

In 2004, Villa 7 began as a forum where athletic directors could share ideas and meet with the country’s elite assistant basketball coaches.

Approximately 20 athletic directors and 30 carefully selected assistant coaches attended the first meeting in Las Vegas. Each group recognized the benefit of the forum, and expressed interest in developing a multi-day symposium.

The success of the first symposium, held in Charlotte, N.C., led the Center for Sport Leadership at VCU and Nike to form a partnership based on this identical rationale: that we can positively affect the future of college basketball and help prepare the next generation of college basketball leaders.

The Villa 7 Consortium is the next step as we continue to grow and prosper.

Judy Rose is listed under “past speakers and panelists.”

He might be on to something. Here’s a Jeff Goodman link to a VCU consortium - Notice the familiar names:

So Dooley, Springmann, and Shyatt mentioned there… and there is a Mike Hopkins quote on the Villa 7 Consortium page I linked above. I think we found out where Judy is finding her candidates.

“Where do you get an intimate setting for an AD to really know who you are? That is what this provides.”

Yep, Mike Hopkins seemed like one of the main speakers for the one held in Charlotte, NC. I’m starting to think this is some New World Order sh*t, man. Larry Shyatt is in on it! Jeff Goodman is in on it! It’s a conspiracy, man, a conspiracy!

If this is why we’re not hearing about Pat Kelsey, Mike Rice, Butch Pierre, etc - then we should revoke Judy’s Stonecutter membership.

Keep NLP2002ID out of this thread.

Also, Benny Moss is listed as a “success story” from 2006.

Our “Director of compliance and championships” has a quote on their testimonials page.

Looks like something we’ve been pretty involved in since it started up in 2005. Basically just a job fair/networking event for assistants that want to become head coaches.

One more link:
http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=966664

The consortium works as a gathering place that allows promising assistants to introduce themselves to athletic directors across the nation and participate in mock interview sessions. The event also includes panel discussions in which assistants learn how to prepare for the obstacles they might face after they get hired as head coaches.

In short, the process allows the nation’s most promising assistants to introduce themselves to potential employers and it helps school officials to get an early look at the candidates they might end up considering for their next coaching search.

“When you go through the coach selection process, you’re rushed,” Ellis said. “You’re trying to create a relationship in a week and make a hire. Putting these two entities together would necessitate some relationship-building so when the time came to make a hire, some of that process was already done. You already would have started down that relationship path, and you’d know more about your candidates. You could already eliminate some people you might have possibly investigated because you’d know something about them you wouldn’t have known otherwise.”

Taylor looks like an overwieght version of Bobby…not impressed… nor is he in that “young and agressive” mold Judy talked about.

[font=verdana]Don’t believe that. It’s just what they want you to believe.

The Villa 7 Consortium is actually a powerful and secretive gathering of college basketball coaches with globalist agendas conspiring in the world of politics and finance, orchestrated by an extremely influential cabal operating through many front organizations. Their next step? World Domination.[/font]

Wow. Nice find.

It’s like X files and you’re Fox Mulder, man.

I just saw a black suburban with tinted windows drive by my house with License Plate No. V7, I think this thread should be locked for our own safety

Funny, I just saw the X-Files was released on Netflix instant, and i’ve started from season 1. I didnt start watching X-files till probably about season 3 or so. Season 1 was when I was 8 years old I think.

Now back on topic.
