got this from a well placed source

all was not gravy with Cooley and PC

so let's flash back to 19-20. friars were fairly hot. big year. then covid shut it down finished 19-12

prior to that year they made tourney 5 of 6 years

so year after covid friars went 13 and 13. Cooley was told afterward to make staff changes. he Refused. apparently Cooley is really loyal

next year hes coach of year, wins big east reg season, goes to tourney

this year tourney. and bounces

bottomline it wasn't all happy happy joy joy up there

hahaha

Is there anyone from class of 2023 or 2024 committed to Provy rn?
Asking for a friend

Filing arb claim for 11 million alleging there was no cause to terminate.

heard again Cooley likely comes

bringing whole/most of staff

said that before

well apparently asst coach battle is caught up in middle

the school initially wanted to hire him when Cooley moved on

well folks up there are mad, amd now supposedly won't haired battle of Cooley leaves

mad!

hahahah

this is hilarious!

williford is first choice
might not take it

skinn is next choice
might not want it

Simpkins wants it bad. no understanding of Americans position on him

hear stubbs must fire his coaches

bino is scrambling for coppin job accordingly

folks are pushing for Larry Stewart

bino ransom wants it bad...

as does Todd Bozeman

Three Big East teams in the Sweet 16. Pitino about to enter the conference with SJU. Cooley likely moving within the conference which will cause major buzz. Things are really interesting in the conference. Good stuff.

since we will be changing coaches after the season, thought I'd cue up a thread to discuss hirings/firing/candidates etc.

ESPN claims he's being dialed down on

maybe, maybe not

could a guy with collegiate experience at butler and big 10 (4 years) and celts (6 years) plus d2/3 all as assistant help?

maybe

he's only been head since '21 season (psu). have to adress that, given the multi faceted nature of this rebuikd

yet have to respect going 14 17 to 22-13 incl like 4-1 to close reg season and then going 3-1 in big 10 tourney, losing in championship to conferences best team Purdue
with job at hand. as #10 Seed

makes some sense

ok so why could it not happen?

source confirmed a knawing suspicion shrewsbury could very well stay at psu and use gtown for more $$

as mack did 6 yrs ago. same for the usc coach

psu surely doesn't have gtowns present. yet Hoyas can't touch psus present

and tho they likely dont go all about for ball financially, surely psu's athketic pockets are deeper than Hoyas

counterpart is as a private school, Hoyas COULD pay alot more...how much will a tennis shoe company really subsidize him at psu?

this is interesting

I'm tracking down folks who know him now

when FoxSports1 signed the Big East Georgetown was the golden goose

obviously it didn't break that way

adhering to old guard ways has destroyed the program

but if we get this hire right and break free of the Thompson grasp (and JDG steps out of his own way), we can once again be the biggest program in the conference

we are in the best basketball recruiting hotbed in the country, have the best tradition in the conference and have the largest endowment by far

they HAVE to get this right:

Wow that was fast. I don’t blame the kid one bit. Ewing screwed him over. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is more to come

new guidelines

Damon Stoudemire

crazy he's my distant cousin thru his father. wild scene hahah

Capel at pitt

NC contacts are buzzing with this. thinking is hes struggled at pitt, had a good year this season. and hes going to struggle again

what better time to get 6 more years

and yes that's believed to be the duration (which makes sense considering the rebuilds duration

right now have no understanding if this is going on.

but the talk, particularly out of NC has been strong. coming from coaches and media fwiw

mike Anderson has been fired

pitino is targeted by the johnnies

let the tears and fears begIn

hahaha

so alum Ashanti cook said online Jon Wallace would be a good choice

well...did simw digging

Wallace has indeed talked to ad and prez

Wallace is clearly interested

not gonna happen though, not now as hc

It really is anybody’s guess as who the Hoyas are targeting at this point. If truly they have been working on this for weeks, it seems like they are taking a different approach this time . Maybe they are doing it right this time. It could change my mind about the ineptitude of the administration.
