Nonickname Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) I knew nothing of Campbell before you guys mentioned him. Looking into him I'm feeling pretty meh. That hire would signal were content to go back what we were under Witherspoon. I can't see this guy + a combination of UB's facilities and offerings = any kind of upward trending. Unrelated to the thread: Anyone feel better about UB losing to TT seeing what they are doing to Michigan right now?

The funny part is I know coach B. I dont have anything PERSONAL against him. This is all business like we've said. His business decision was to fly to Alabama at the first possible chance. Alnutt has to make his counter move. But you nailed it. I can tell you how the business works, but I can't make you understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigo230 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 So when are we getting some word or leaks about a new coach? Feels like teams around us are moving fast. Where's our invite to the AAC or B1G?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone follows her on twitter, it would be great if they could post what she wrote on this thread. It seemed like a bit of a shot at Nate for the way he handled things. As always, she was very pro-UB in the post. What is her Twitter account? I tried looking and didnt see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBigbobby Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 A colleague of mine in higher education is extremely well connected in college hoops, especially the MAC. He just told me that the talk among many people in the MAC and UB circles is that the leading candidate is Rob Lanier, associate head coach of Tennessee and former head coach of Siena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 We reached out to Mike Anderson today, as confirmed by Josh Reed. He leads my list. He made 1.6-2.0M during his tenure but got fired. I'd bet he'd take the last Oats deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDerekRx Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Im not sure Mike Anderson comes here. I feel like he might have some bigger offers still in his future. Id love him and his connections. Honestly the more some of these bigger names leak out the less interested I am in keeping Hodgson and willing to go a different direction with maybe a better ceiling. I feel Alnutt feels the same way. I Think Oats was a slam dunk choice to poach from Hurleys camp. But I dont think they feel the same about Hodgson at all. Tunney Murchie has the money, he should be pushing Alnutt to aim higher lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDerekRx Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Kev Im with you on Mike Anderson as my favorite, but not sure how realistic. As for Rob Lanier, I don't think I want him. Hes been coaching forever as an AC and he bounces around constantly. His short stint at Siena had a couple successes but overall hes just been back to bouncing around as an AC. Not sure what makes him ready now? Again I don't know what the word is on him overall but might as well just keep Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Mike Anderson, Rob Lanier. Either of those would be great. I'm glad to see we're going after some people with experience. I'm also good with those that have failed in the past. I think failure is a good thing and coaches should not be defined by some setbacks. All great coaches have rough patches.
