Assuming McCall gets his 5th year is it a guarantee that Tony is back? Some desperate Power 5 school could bring him in and know the package deal with Tre.
Nothing should surprise us at this point, except maybe the team staying together haha. With the current situation in the NCAA and our recent history with MM as coach, anything could happen.

There’s been recent grumblings on Twitter from players families.

I'll take winning games over image, rhetoric, and social media bullshit, as long as the program is clean and kids graduate. Whoever makes that happen is my choice

It’s going to be a no from me dawg.

Combination of: the 2 game stretch where in 3 instances he refused to foul up 3 at the end of the game, the lack of offense against a zone, and team overall struggling mightily against the pick and roll (Richmond)

Random message board poster interest? I can’t imagine why BC administration would have any real interest in him.

He ain’t getting the bc job guys. A coach w a losing record from Umass, the last bc super fans will go nuts.

Some of the names that have come up for the BC job are ridiculous. Saw Pat Duquette's name mentioned as well.

BC should take a run after the following coaches:
1. Ed Cooley
2. Tim Miles
3. David Patrick
4. Seth Greenberg
5. James O. Flint Jr.
6. John Jones

I would guess Mark Schmidt would (should) be high on their list.

He should be one of the first if not the first to ask about the job. Matta was a dumb option and even a little desperate (trying to hire a "name").

I hope they hire a terrible coach.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

My dream scenario is McCall having one good season where he hops to the next job and Bergeron takes over. I’m not sure McCall is capable of making that happen at this point.

^ sounds like thats kinda the plan from what everyone is saying. Don't know MM at all or how he interacts with people, but I have to give the guy credit for his work ethic. Seems passionate about his job and willing to make changes, and with a group with talent and another year of experience and conditioning, this team should make a jump. I imagine he's learning every year too, so we'll see how it all washes out
