Don’t think we’ll be getting anyone from this AAU program while BB is the coach

Impressive list of schools for Jack.

Hardnett to Ark St

First assistant coach hire. Obviously a UB basketball alum, but was hoping for someone more inspiring than a Canisius assistant.

Did Halcovage decline the Bucknell job or was he never offered it?

Good article on Safir from The Athletic last year. https://theathletic.com/3372299/2022/06/20/todd-golden-florida-basketball-analytics/

Interesting. Would be a big jump for him, but he is well regarded in the analytics community from what I have read.

Some names that I think UB should reach out to. I think most on this list are highly unlikely given who has already turned down the job. John Becker Speedy Claxton Jared Grasso Levelle Moton Amir Abdur-Rahim Darrin Horn Bucky McMillan Joe Gallo

How much is Alnutt hamstrung by Tripathi/SUNY budget wise?

Another knock on the AD and athletic department as a whole.

We can assume McCollum turned down the job as well correct? Have not seen that officially reported, but seems like it is trending that way.

Alnutt deserves a lot of heat for the last 4 years of UB MBB. Ruined all momentum we had from Hurley/Oats. Not sure if it is enough to put him on the hot seat with Football and WBB on the right track, but overall have not been thrilled with his tenure.

Oregon assistant coach.

Interesting video. Does anyone know what UB’s collective/NIL looks like compared to the rest of the MAC and mid-majors?

Zid and Kidtrell are solid players, but the only two players I think will truly hurt to lose are Curtis Jones and Issac Jack.

Very impressive resume. Would like this hire a lot too.

Hodgson or Matt Langel.

Best wishes to Whitesell and his family. He seemed like a great guy from all reports. My top candidates personally are: 1) Hodgson 2) Matt Langel (Colgate head coach) I liked the Pastner suggestion from someone above as well.

The offense needs to run through Curtis Jones. Foster should really be the backup PG, but I’m not sure if they have anyone else ready to step up. Foster not being able to shoot 3’s or free throws is killer in a bad way. My preferred lineup would be the below when healthy. C Jones powell Adams Hardnert Jack

Had offers from Boston College, Temple and Maine.
