Interesting. If true, this was definitely not a snap decision.

It definitely was not.

"A reliable source indicates that his DC people tell him Kim English to George Mason is not just the front runner but that it may not even be an open process. Brad Edwards has a f*cking dismal track record, but even a broken clock is right twice a day and we like Kim."

Well there is the Rick Barnes connection.

I know a lot of people wanted Caputo a long time ago and he was mentioned by Goodman but at this point I think that ship has sailed, I have zero interest in that.

"Another name being talked about - Kim English Jr. He played at Mizzou and was drafted by the Pistons but had a short NBA career. After his career he became a coach and has been an assistant with Tulsa, Colorado and now Tennessee. This rumor has been swirling for a few weeks now."

At least they have been looking before pulling the trigger on firing Brad. Small steps

This is a massive hire for Brad. He has to park this one or the next one out the door will be him.

That makes it more likely than not we’re not getting a first-time HC. If Pat Kelsey would take the job, he’d be a grand slam.

Kelsey would be a slam dunk. But it will never happen with Pres Woke.

Pres Woke?

Kim English played for and was an assistant for Frank Haith. The same Frank Haith that created an opening at Miami when he left, thus creating the chain reaction that led to Coach L leaving, Hewit being hired then fired, and then Paulsen being hired then fired. So hard pass for me.

Pres Woke?

Don't make me spell it out for you.

Well good afternoon to you too - was asking a genuine questions - its been a while for me.

Pres Woke?

Men's Coach will have to be a minority hire.

Women's can get by with a non minority since it will most likely be woman.

It's in the new University Diversity plan. SECTION D, Page 32.

I guess I have a lot of catching up to do here. I took a hiatus for business and now its all so different.

And here we go with the BS.

Guys keep this on topic. NO politics. None whatsoever. This is about the next coach.

I doubt it - Brad is going to need a coach to win - that goal and the money that follows will drive the decision not points on a demographic board - regardless of race or sex - they need a winner. Besides in the new math - you can check out any box that you identify with.

So --- the real question is - what available candidate is the best option out there -- and will we throw money at it.

Ahhh its all coming back to me now.

I've shed my politics jacket. This is a basketball place. Act accordingly!
