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

In a way, I see Cage as the continuity hire almost, with local and program familiarity.

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!

Todd kowalczyk up for the Utah st job apparently, would be weird if he isn't the coach of the rockets 

 

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

Does anyone know which players attended the press conference? He made reference to them, but never panned the camera to that area. Maybe they didn’t want to show them like they did at BB presser and then have the entire team leave again. Just curious as to who was there. 

Yea, I don't know who but:

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

I would of liked him to say more on a new staff.

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

Keeping discussion of re-recruiting players in the portal in house, which is fair, but also reads to me like not everyone is going to be re-recruited lol (which is probably for the best)

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.
