Is anyone else hearing any rumors about Glenn Miller?

My sources say they may have found his plane.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

bc basketball... it's fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan-tastic

Mo, mo, mo the quotes,
Simply make a scene
Merry men, merry men, merry men, merry men
Twitter's a wet dream

when punning up some children's nursery rhymes, bc interruptions tells me i should drink baba black lager

[talon]

@blauds hasn't floated a new name in over FIVE HOURS.

Something big must be going on.

[HJS]

Just so all if you can be as annoyed as I am by the tweet machine:


@CoachingChanges: Boston College name hearing most under the radar is Fran McCaffrey

Wasn't he Donahue's mentor of sorts?

No... you are thinking of Fran Dunphy (formerly of UPenn now at Temple).

I like Fran McCaffrey. He won't be coming to BC, but he's a good coach. Aside for the fact that no one in a Big 5 program is coming to BC, McCaffrey's 14-year-old son had surgery (the same day as Iowa's loss in the Tourney) to remove a tumor on his thyroid that was then determined to be malignant. He has another surgery in 2 weeks to determine the next course of treatment. I seriously doubt McCaffrey is thinking about future jobs right now.

I like McCaffrey. Boston has world class hospitals, Iowa does not...

I thought of that too. But, it seems like a strange way to land a coach. That said, the entire process has been strange. Further, no outcome is more bizarre than hiring Jim Christian... yes I am already at Chris Crane level on that possibility.

Was one of the things that attracted Ray Allen to Boston

Again, the EO Coaching Staff will do the job for half the price of Christian and we'll probably win more games

Note to self: Fran's Vans

Franny's Trannies

Takin' a CaraFran to Indy

why not a catamafran? we could use the ferry as overflow

Are you suggesting a McCaf-ferry?

[WilpertsRevenge]

@coaching changes is probably one of us just toying with everyone here.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

good point. maybe this is 81's first successful gag

[twballgame9]

@coaching changes is probably one of us just toying with everyone here.

Not sure why anyone would need to bother setting up a Twitter account to do that. I mean, with all of the names that I hear that aren't Jay Wright, I realize there is a lot of toying going on here already

[Bryn Mawr Eagle]

Is anyone else hearing any rumors about Glenn Miller?

No, but some of his song titles are appropriate to the BC Hoops coach search:

A Million Dreams Ago
After You've Gone
Down for the Count
Here We Go Again
I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire
I Hear You Screamin'
I'm Sorry for Myself
Spring Will Be So Sad
That's Sabotage
They'll Be Some Changes Made
This Is No Laughing Matter
Who's Sorry Now
As Time Goes By

and last but not least: The Wang Wang Blues (no, I didn't make that up)

I'd use the Undertaker's WWE enterance for a theme song

The original Chopin version is more fitting.

heh - sextet

Isn't this the asshole who started the Christian to BC rumors?

I thought everything posted on twitter was always 100% right....

I can't wait to read who the front runner is tomorrow.

[thebs19]

Anyone feel like speculating on whats behind 3 BU players being released to transfer?

[Bunratty]

Anyone feel like speculating on whats behind 3 BU players being released to transfer?

Yeah, they all know they can get as many minutes as they want at BC.

We could do worse than Joe Jones, although HJS's head may explode since he's not a good "fit".

Would need a strong Xs and Os guy behind Jones

[HJS]

I like Joe Jones... always have.

[HJS]

In other news, University of Houston is about to hire Kelvin Sampson.

[BCEagles25]

Steve Donahue and Tommy Amaker succeeded in the Ivy League. Joe Jones did not.

I joined twitter solely to follow this coaching search the day Nahue was fired and it may have been the worst decision in my life.

PM TRE for some solid follows.

I follow her. I have never read a word she has written, but it was a solid decision.

https://twitter.com/MissEmmaGlover

There's a photo of her not in makeup. It's amazing what modern makeup/computers can do to these s... #IdStillSmashIt

[twballgame9]

Given that it was a foregone conclusion, I am a little surprised that the press conference for Schmidt Skerry Christian Calhoon Hopkins Patsos whatever small time coach HJS will pretend to have predicted hasn't occurred yet.

[HJS]

I'm surprised that, with all these jobs opening up (many in the lower ranks), Tim Fuller's never got attached.

[tallsy]

No mention of Dambrot either who probably has had the most MAC success over the past 5 years. Mike White's only been mentioned once by Blaudschun. No mention of Cluess who IMO would be best of the MAAC lot.
