Coaching Carousel

[Polito]

HOLY COW, I was literally JUST about to post that we should watch the recent VT opening, that they should and likely would go for the JMU coach - it's a super fit

This is fantastic news for HU - reason why I wanted to post this is because I think they've been the biggest thorn in HU's NCAA side for the women - great coach - with him out of the picture things look very good for HU

The door is open Coach K, you are the class of the conf IMO - time for this program to DANCE!!

I understand that 4 days into his tenure as coach of Rutgers, Pikell lands his first recruit. Player is from a prep school in Jersey. BTW- something going on at SBU. His top asst has not been named head coach yet. Could it be that SBU will go in another direction. Stay tuned........

[HUSID80]

The kid he signed is a two star kid, was probably recruiting him for SBU. Spoke to a contact who knows SBU well and he said as a state school any job has to be posted for 30 days... we'll see

[stuball888]

They can still appoint him head coach. So long as the posting stays up. Rutgers is a state school and they acted very quickly on Pikell. Something is going on behind the scenes here.

[ProudofPride]

Jay Young (SBU's top assistant) is one of the leading candidates for the Central Connecticut job (along with former HU assistant Pat Sellers). SBU is a much better job than CCSU, so it would be a shame for him if SBU doesn't bite first.

[stuball888]

They may want someone who has or had head coaching experience. They have a rebuilding year at SBU next year.

[HUSID80]

The AD at SBU did not hire Pikiell and his crew...he probably wants one of his guys...that's how it usually works.

[stuball888]

That's one of the reasons I think he will go in another direction. Don't be surprised if Pikell takes his coaching staff with him to Rutgers all his assts will get big raises I think we might see some familiar names on SBUs short list. Stay tuned.......

[HUSID80]

Heard he already took one or two but he better get a real recruiter and someone who knows the Big Ten or he'll be dead

[stuball888]

Rumor mill has it that two candidates for thevhead coaching position have Hofstra ties

[HUSID80]

For what job SBU?

[stuball888]

Yes SBU job! Interviews starting later this week.

Perhaps David Duke is on the list.

[stuball888]

No jojo he has only had two years as a head coach at Adelphi. One has been a head coach and the other an asst at a major.

I said Mo before, I still think Mo.

[daHUPride]

I said Mo before, I still think Mo.

Cant see why Mo wouldn't get a serious look - almost a native LI'er, with strong upstate and New England ties (areas where SB plays) - was put in a few really sh*tty situations - learned from his mistakes - always handle himself with utmost class - and still really young to grow with a program - I would have no problem with that hire if I were a SB fan

[stuball888]

Not Mo either. One would be a good fit because of his ties to the AAU coaches in the city. The other has a pipeline to European players. SBU has seen the success of GW with their international players.

[HUSID80]

Well then one is TP...good for him

Just spill the beans, Stu. No need to be so mysterious.

Move!
