Maybe this was Bates' plan all along - lower expectations, then bring in a name we'll celebrate only because he's NOT Jim Christian.
Anthony Grant would be a ton of fun. I have no real idea if he's a good coach or not.
Pat Chambers would be miserable but-for that he's not Jim Christian, so I'm in!

I've always had a soft spot for Anthony Grant.
No clue on Chambers

I mentioned Chambers last week. He would be okay, major conference, inherited a "bear" cupboard, northeast ties from being at BU and he's from the Jay Wright coaching tree.

(1) how many strikes does a batter receive before he is called out in softball
(b) what is your favorite version of my way
(iii) when is your band next performing and where may we find them?

(1) I am not old enough to be in a men's softball league. so you tell me
(b) there is only one answer to that
(iii) we disbanded after I told them I'd be in Indianapolis around this time next year, pullin for my man Jim Christian, instead of touring

Have some sack if you are a BC Guy and shoot this fucking thing down. Prior to today's leaked "news," not one of you would have pissed on this asshole if he was on fire.
A BC Guy cares about winning... PERIOD. End of fucking story.
Calhoun is an asshole. But, he's a winner. Basically, he's the exact opposite of Don. Personally, I'd be more than OK with it. We'd whore-it-out for a few years, kick the shit on the recruiting trail and then be doing this search In 4 years again (but in a MUCH better position). My only concern is that he's 72 and he'll die before 4 years.
Here's one of my famous predictions... BC will win more and have the program in much better shape 4 years from now than whatever MAC-equivalent, compromised, good for New England, bullshit marin-approved, cheap selection who'll be introduced in 2 weeks. Everyone freaking out over the potential interest is giving a prime example why BC permanently sucks at sports.
TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:HJS {l Wrote}:What I will promise is that even if I think it is a terrible fucking hire, I am willing to live with it for 3-4 year and give him a chance to prove me wrong. Schmidt is incredibly unexciting, but who am I to say he can't catch fire at BC? Skerry seems like a clown... but who am I to say he won't land every freaking kid out of BABC? A lot of us were way the fuck wrong on Don (I know I thought he was the perfect man for BC... he was a great fit at BC... except when it came to doing anything remotely related to coaching the basketball team). At this point, when it comes to the bizarre sport of college basketball, I am willing to follow the words of Bobby Knight and just sit back and enjoy it.
i don't believe any of this for a minute

As I'm cleaning out my closet, I might as well bump this post too. What I posted was true. I was willing to give those guys a fair shake (even though I wasn't excited by any of them). Christian's name didn't surface for 4 days. That was when what appeared to be a pragmatic search trying to find the bet BC fit from coaches across the county became something else... finding the best fit for Bates among exclusively clients of Fogler. I probably jinxed the whole process by saying I'd accept any of the names floating around at the time. BC has always found a way to disappoint... even in the absence of expectations.
