Yeah, we don't need another snake oil salesman in that role. Will Brown would be an excellent choice.TheOFFSeason wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 2:25 pmIf some fans found TB unlikeable, Popp would put that to shamewmmmfan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 10:16 amIf MM wants to go with experience he could look to someone like Will Brown, recently released by UAlbany but a successful track record.

Totally agree. this University is developing a bad reputation with all the changes. Would you like to go to a job where there is a lot of turnover, it sets off red flags.
Go UMass!!

Re: Who would you hire as HC for 2021-22
We have been overlooking the most obvious candidate for assistant coach, Tyrone Weeks. He has been an assistant at URI and SBU among others and he can coach the "bigs". He's loyal to the school and he has another son or two who are pretty good at BB.

All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
Re: Who would you hire as HC for 2021-22
My suspicion is that McCall might just promote Brian Grossman to assistant.

I don't know if he's interested either but this isn't the same as TB. Lots of schools have had the son of a coach on the roster. With Tyrone's connection to UMass I don't see a problem.UMassfan_19 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 6:47 pmNot sure I want another parent of a player on the staff also wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t to interested

I am certainly not endorsing Popp - but if he can put a winner on the floor - almost NOBODY will care if he is unlikable. If you are going that route, you might as well try to get that fucking asshole Crypt-keeper Pitino in here.

Let’s hope both UMass and Albany have success and that it eventually works out for him to get back home. The perceptions of the TB scenario have done more than a 180inthescoop wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 6:49 pmKillings has been hired to be the head coach at U of Albany.
