Charlotte Tabs Aaron Fearne as Interim Head Men's Basketball Coach for 2023-24

As I pointed out previously, the only AAC school that scheduled a regular season non-D-1 opponent last year was Cincinnati.

Wow. High praise from Tim…somebody.

Ok…now I’m sold.

RealGM lists 35 Aussies who have played in the NBA. I’m old enough to remember when Luc Longley was the most notable player from the land Down Under!

No denying Miles has had a modest HC career since moving up to D-I but he did accomplish something his successor at Nebraska (and Brice’s new coach) hasn’t been able to - multiple winning seasons in Lincoln as opposed to none and a trip to the Big Dance.

Hell of a post. Exactly how I feel.

He was also Big Ten coach of the year at Nebraska and has coached at some of the toughest places to win in the country with success.

Yep, like our Bill Foster did, Miles does seem to gravitate towards rebuilding projects.

7 posts were split to a new topic: MJ should be our next coach

He isn’t a splashy name but tim miles did do some pretty good rebuilding projects at north dakota state and colorado state before he took the nebraska job. When Mark Price was fired he was the number one guy at the time that I wanted Hill to call to takeover the charlotte job before he went with sanchez…

Who knows. maybe if chris mack is not available in 2024 he could be the guy that takes over. Maybe Fearne and Miles have something worked out?

Bottom line Sanchez f’d us and his team and his AD.

Hill maybe should have gone ahead and given the job the Fearne and not done the search but hindsight’s 20/20.

My hope is that the players and the coaches bring whole lot of attitude and grit next year and send a big FU to Sanchez and outperform expectations.

Let’s see what the man and his team can do.

Would love to see Dinkins promoted to full coaching position.

I’ll certainly be in Halton enjoying the non Sanchez aspects of the experience and supporting the team and the new head coach IN FULL with no reservations.

Nothing would make me happier than to see Hill have to hire Fearne permanently because he blows away all expectations.

Is it just me? I find this kind of thing weird. I remember similar comments on Healy, Biff, etc.

Our athletic department loves fellating itself.

Our hires can’t ever speak for themselves so we have to tell people what a great job we did. Just trust us.

Um, Ron Sanchez?

Standard industry procedure getting other coaches etc to comment on new hires.
