The Search for a New Men's Basketball Coach has begun

I used to respect Ron personally, regardless of his coaching ability. Should give the job to Ferne on interim basis, IF he wants it.

Not sure who your choice would be, but his resume DRASTICALLY exceeds anyone we have had of lately and most on these lists that have been presented.

Mike Brey isn’t coming here and neither is Tom Crean.

My choice would be someone else. Only would take him if he could convince Dwayne Wade to use his remaining eligibility here. :laughing:

My assumption is it will be someone that none of us have heard of until then. I’m at a point where I really don’t care who he, she or it is as long as we can get back to a winning culture and putting a$$e$ in seats. Something has to change as we near the End of Days with interest by past, current and future fans.

I feel like we just tunneled through 500 yards of sh!t and finally have our FREEDOM!!!

Think it was pretty obvious that next year was going to be a train wreck. Sanchez can’t win a Conf Tourney game with Jhamir, Aly & Brice…WTH is gonna happen next year!? Mike knew it…and no way in hell was Sanchez getting an extension. Sanchez knew it…and knew that another horrid year and a firing would be devastating to his reputation and career. Time to get out before it got ugly!

Good for him…GREAT for us.

Next year was set up to be awful…but at least we’re not putting our rebuild off another year by having to keep Sanchez another year.

Rip off the bandaid now…but gotta make the right hire.

And more recently 2020 NBA Draft number one pick Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves.

Good. Dont want either

Is it possible…we have 4 new coaches going into the AAC???
Poggi…Ron’s replacement…and if Woody and Chastain get hired away

Talk about a transition…hope we can hold onto to Woody & Chastain.

If we hire an interim coach, then Hill is out of his mind!

Tom Rinaldi(?) was just on FNZ and his reaction was to hype on the timing. Not the hiring window as much as how important it is to start out positively in the AAC. How we perform early in the AAC will likely set our position for the foreseeable future in that league. Said simply, this is our chance to reset basketball and get it at the top of a decent league. We aren’t well poised for that now.

I’ve seen Tom Crean lose in Halton Arena plenty of times. I’d rather not see him do it again.

I have been a 49er fan since the final four game. Bobby Lutz was the most fun we ever had, I would love to see Bobby again.

Bobby Lutz is NOT THE ANSWER.

Am I delusional for thinking we could land Chris Mack? I think right now he’s coaching second grade soccer.

Kenny, I agree with you. He would provide immediate enthusiasm and hope for the future.

Peak Chris Mack would be a home run. He didn’t do great at Louisville and he also made a ton of money. He’s 53. If he was even interested you’d have to decide in the interview of he is the guy, meaning does he still have the fire to put in the long hours and heart, blood, sweat, and tears to get us where we need to be.

Or is he just another guy who had a successful career, made millions of dollars and is more interested in being a family man now?

Unfortunately after the Ron debacle I don’t trust Hill to be the best at making those kinds of judgment calls.
