They are just getting rid of a dude who can’t recruit or coach. Not sure why they would bring one in.
We can always hope though
Eph was not joking lol
Bashir Mason, Grasso or Shaheen Holloway would be my picks. I think Becker is a Vermont lifer and I’m not sure his old school nature is good for a program like thatVermont has been a really good team for quite awhile in the America East Conference... some interesting names being bandied about though to replace McCall
"Potential names expected to be involved in UMass' coaching search include Vermont's John Becker, Missouri State's Dana Ford, Wagner's Bashir Mason, Yale's James Jones, Bryant's Jared Grasso and former Indiana coach Archie Miller."
UMass fires McCall; will stay until end of season
The UMass Minutemen will move on from men's basketball coach Matt McCall at the end of the season, the school announced Tuesday.www.espn.com
Holloway gives other teams in the MAAC fits. They have a good record and my understanding is they are super physical tough and just overall pain in the a**.
Selfishly hope they don’t hire Holloway, he would recruit his a** off at UMass and make them relevant very quickly. Excellent coach — I liked him for the Mason job until a guy named Kim English popped up on our radar.
Thats why we need to go to the umasshoops forum and talk about quality coaches like Matt Brady, Pat Kennedy and Tom Crean

The thing is the last two Power 5 stops hes had hes severely under .500 in conference so its not even like his teams are competitive. Add to the fact that while the A10 or a lower league might be better for him, his record doesn't indicate even medicority that could translate. I don't think anyone would want him at this point.
Precisely, and defending soon to be fired coaches about how they need more time, lol
