Pearl

[angrychicken]

Can anyone confirm the reported siting of Pearl at Logan boarding a Pyongyang-bound flight to coach the host country team against the Rodman All Stars?

Your retarded

your just siting this now?

Nope

Just responding to a few different points.

1. The roster turning as in not stuck with the Don's players is a huge plus for most coaches. They can go and get their players quickly.

2. Amaker sucks but he is probably going to be BC's new coach (or is more likely than Pearl). If Harvard were such a better job, he wouldn't be willing to ditch it for the chance to coach BC. He wants the BC job and thinks it is very underrated.

3. I also went to a prep school that feeds players (though in my day, the prep powers were slightly different). The recruits preference can change quickly. Don't worry about BC. Worry about the coach. The good coaches will find the right talent for their systems. One could argue that Don -- even as a terrible recruiter -- had the right players for his system until the rules changed and the team tuned him out.

4. The BC job is appealing. Pearl is not the only name interested. Howland is too. However, I don't know if BC will pony up for a big hire. The more Don sucks, the more pressure there will be to make a big move.

5. Bates doesn't have the same freedom as GDF. I think he would go big time but I think there are enough Whale Pants on the board who will object.

I think we will probably hire a MAC type coach but don't think this job is undesirable.

AT,

You ain't going unchallenged on this one.

Tell us the factual basis for your statement that Howland is interested in coming here.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Also, foot. I never suggested or said decades of sucktitude. Jut because I miss watching a good product doesn't mean I think bc isn't capable of turning it around. The warts I reference are there, had you ever been recruited by a major program you would see them. That said, every god damn program has warts, we just need a coach to cover them, as you originally suggested. Because you are unable to hold a logical argument you resort to making shit up like decades of sucktitude, and putting other words in my mouth. Reminiscent of the Tea Party. You my friend need to learn how to read, analyze said material, form an argument and stick to it. Luckily congress isn't back in sesh until tomorrow, or I would be sick of dealing with such a simple mind.... Thankfully, u have given me my daily fix, I pitty you sir.

I went back and re-read everything. You're right, you never suggested the demise of the program. You just sound like an asshole.

I have no way of proving it. How would you like me to prove it? I am just passing on information from people who know. Multiple, different people have told me Howland wants to get back into coaching and has looked into BC and let it be known that if there is a change, he would like to be considered for the job.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Did the arm injury that prematurely ended your college athletics career occur from patting yourself on the back too often? Holy fuck... tell us again how you are smart, handsome and not fat at all.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Didn't end the career, I switched to a more academically prestigious school and played ball in relative obscurity.

You sound like this "although I was wrong and completely made shit up because I am on my period and can't take an honest assessment of our program, you sound like an ass, so our program is great."

Wtf do u expect, act like an asshat and I will respond in kind.

OK, we get it, you're awesome.

Appreciate the Howland insight, good to hear

Wasn't Molinsky some sort of long drive champion or something? My memory fades...

much like spaz's punch and a player not named quinton porter's shredding a gal in walsh, students on campus at the same time as marc molinski can verify that he was quite popular with the ladies

i simply posted an interesting, cliff-claven-like-little-known-fact. if you drew any correlation or connection between the two of the three things that i know about marc molinski (the third was that he was relatively proficient at 3-point shooting), that's on your lawyered mind...

[hawaiirob]

Yes, Howland would be interested in the BC job. Confirmed. Don't ask me to reveal my ways. I know people in Cali.

are you adam howland? is the "rob" in your screen name simply intended to throw us off?

[JesuitIvy]

I figured Howland did something to get fired. Basically, UCLA firing him is as crazy (prob crazier) than GDF's reasons for canning Al. He didnt; go deep in the tourney last yea. That;s what winning the conference and 3 final fours gets you at UCLA--

http://articles.latimes.com/2013/mar/25 ... d-20130325

He'd be a great catch for us.

[Eagle1999]

Could Howland have success with the new NCAA rules? With his aggressive defense, every starter would be fouled out within 4 minutes at Dook....

[hinghameagle]

A few opinion questions for ATL, or others:

My lazy research saya Howland made $2mill per year at UCLA. Maybe another half a million for shoe deals, tv stuff, radio, summer camps and so on. Lets say 2.5 per.

1. If he asks for that same compensation, is the negotiation over before it starts.

2. Do you think BC will pay that type of money to any coach, even if they firmly believe it is the right guy and it is a solid investment.

3. Howland has 3 final four's under his belt, are we are fooling ourselves to think that a coach like that would want BC?

4. He is on paper a better coach than Pearl, who many beleive would not want BC, so why Howland?

5. is it fair to asssume that there will be other jobs open for Howland that are better jobs and will compensate him at a higher salary.

5. Odds right now of Howland to BC? 25%, less or more?

6. Odds right now of Pearl to BC? 25% more or less?

This is opinion mixed with gossip. Take it for what it is worth. GDF and those around him liked to talk. Bates holds things closer to the vest. Plus the football search showed that the BOT will be involved. With GDF's hires they just rubber stamped his choices.

1. BC could pay that much. I have no idea if they will. The money from the attendance boost alone could cover the cost. I am sure we could get Under Armour to kick a little more Howland's way too.

2. BC won't hand Amaker or any of the other B list guys $2 million. Pearl and Howland are the only guys I could see getting megadeals.

3 and 4. Aside from the NCAA baggage, I think Howland is more likely because he wants a program like BC. Based on what I've heard about him (and Hawaii Rob could echo this), he really disliked the nonbasketball stuff at UCLA. Didn't like the one and done types and didn't like the opinionated boosters. I think he knows he could recruit the northeast like he did at Pitt, win like Skinner and lead a relatively basketball focused life. From a BC perspective the downside of Howland is he won't be the ambassador that Pearl would be. Howland won't paint his chest for a women's hoops game or spend every off day down at ESPN.

5 and 6. It really depends on how desperate BC gets. Both are there for the taking. But in the last 40 years under two different presidents and four different ADs, we've only hired two big names. One was Milbury and the other was Henning. Our history says we will probably end up with a guy looking to make the move up and not the guy looking for a second shot at the big time.

[eepstein0]

I'll put the odds of BC paying a coach $2+ mil at 0%. There's no chance the BOT is making that kind of investment.

We're going to end up with Amaker or one of the rejects from the Skinner coaching tree.

I have faith in Bates, but not if BC won't pay

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

sorry - the black community won't let amaker come to the heights. just ask your runner up roonie

[JesuitIvy]

Not to harp on Howland, but watching the UCLA-Ariz game tonite -- UCLA winning with all Howland's recruits -- makes me kind of amazed this guy was fired (I still see empty seats at the arena. so much for the electricity of Steve Alford to get people in the seats).
A lot of what's damning in this article about Howland sounds like a pretty good eastern BBall coach to me -- tough players, man to man over zone, no showtime. I'd be great with that. To me, the really good BC teams of Al and JOB were marked by their toughness.
