The Mighty Maniac in me is still so happy about this.

Coach H spoke to this at his presser. I think he genuinely believes on “basketball families”. Look at the Nova coaching history, they bring guys up from GA, video, DBO, assistant/associate. It’s no surprise to me to see him ask for a list of UB guys who are coaching and to immediately bring one in, and I love it. It also makes sense for him to promote Saunders and “keep him in the Halcovage tree”. I think this guy knows how to build a program, not just slap a few coaches/players together and hope for the best.

Where is @CalvinCagefor3 on this momentous day?

I love the Cage hire! Hopefully he gets some guards to practice jiu jitsu

Going to be a busy week between now and a public event!

He's a great get if you want consistently good teams that will never win the conference

Ready for a staff to take shape...

"Prior to the internship, Williams served as an Operations Intern with the Alabama men's basketball team, assisting the Director of Scouting and Analytics with summer camps, official visits, and other day-to-day operations within the program, while also assisting the Director of Athletics Communications in social media management."

Yea, I don't know who but:

You mean aside from the fact that we're a bunch of delusional sports fans?

So it was Austin Claunch and then we got our guy, huh?

While I would have liked it, barring an official announcement I don't know that this would be the forum to name names.

Yep. I like it on both fronts. Shows the players that he has respect for them and their decisions but also agree that some of those conversations were polite mutual departures.

Met wife in Buffalo, having first kid in Buffalo, first head coaching job in Buffalo. Gonzaga of the East is back!

A little shade for the MAC lol

Short and to the point. A little miffed that he didn't mention me by name but he did acknowledge that he probably forgot some names so that was likely about me. Cool to hear him talk so much about bridging connections with former players and honoring that network/"brotherhood" of bulls. He did also call out True Blue 🤘🏻

"Build this thing back to wear we all want it to be" yes.
