I absolutely despise everything about Duke, but strangely enough, I'd be OK with Bobby Hurley. He's exceptionally smart, has grown up around a coach (his dad), he's tough, he's mean, and he'll compete/fight for anything. He's the guy you hate on the opposing team, but his teammates loved him, and not just because he handed out 982 assists per game (or something like that).

So many ways to attack this. Orsini should take his case to Adidas brass. New stadium, new uniforms, new coach, new program. Get outside help, and do it on the DL, now.


Unless rumors are true that were going Nike next year

You're not going to get that. Leaders will talk to those in the BB know to understand what needs to be done. They also have a list of people they think will fit -- usually.

Do you believe that he hasn't done any of this?

I guess Rob Evans is still on that list? That is so not what we need right now
I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

Hadn't heard, even better. Not to poo poo the Hurley deal, but I've been told by a few that he's a serious richard. Not really a players coach either

Rob Evans is like getting a plate full of cauliflower after suffering through a whole serving of broccoli.

I'd be surprised if Doh doesn't get at least this year AND next...but I guess that's up to Orsini and/or the guys who write the checks

Lots of season left, so it'll be a good spectator sport. I'm pretty frustrated

Doesn't matter how bad Doh does this year- Orsini doesn't have the cajones to make a change. He has proven that in other sports where coaches have needed to be changed.
If DOH is here next year you can expect a totally empty Moody when they play.

GO PONIES!!!

Pretty clear that butts in seats don't motivate this AD. He'd rather save face. I have no idea if Doh is here or gone next year, but I tend to think those that come will come, those that don't won't. The reality of the decision is about the product. We're so close, considering where we've come from, and we have the built-in youth excuse, but I'm so very tired of late losses.

We all know the reality is that every game we play this year is going down to the wire, that's tough on my nerves

Hurley family is legendary in NJ with unlimited contacts and connections. Interesting speculation to bring in both Danny and Bobby as both have excellent pedigrees. I do not think with their college experience, pro and college coaching experience that they are too inexperienced. If fact, I would be surprised if both Danny and Bobby are not already on the scopes of major programs.

I know Georgetown runs the Princeton offense. Part of the Princeton offense is predicated on players rubbing off screens and back picks, either off the free throw lane or off the baseline, so the player heading to the basket receives a pass for a back door layup. The other part of the Princeton offense is to set high screens to free up shooter to shoot a 3-point shot

Anything else?
