Is he as available as Brad Stevens?
Only if we can bait him into making a racially offensive analogy.

Besides his 1-4 record in the NCAA tournament his teams fold down the stretch in the regular season.
I am with 2001Eagle. At Seton Hall, 5 consecutive NCAA appearances is fantastic. Who cares that they only won one game. They got their 5 times. In a row. Five appearances playing in the Big East no less! That is an incredibly hard conference to win 21+ games (a season) and get an at-large.
They are not going to get Willard but if they did, wow! That is home run no matter how much (or little) they have to pay Willard. I don't know if he'll get get BC to the National Championship, but it is a vast upgrade.
A professor at BC once told our class better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Wow I had no idea that Mark Twain taught at BC. I also didn’t know you were that old
EDIT: Upon further research, this is a Maurice Switzer quote falsely attributed to Mark Twain, as many sayings are. So fuck whatever I said and have a great rest of your day
EDIT Jr: I am also aware of my post’s irony in relation to the quote. But you guys didn’t have doubts
Doubt? I haven't really thought that deeply about it. I think it was just Shoreagle trying to be a wise ass with just rhetoric because it appears he lacks both facts or math.
Look, root for whoever you want to coach this team. I don't care. I just want them to win and go for #1.
You said wow, Willard would be a home run hire and even threw in The words Final Four. I’m saying that Willard will be lucky not to get run out of shit school Seton Hall after this year. He’s always been the TOB of college basketball. I want better for my alma mater.
Yeah after more than a dozen years of this college hoop horseshit at BC, the majority of the people of this site might actually be THRILLED with the TOB of college basketball. Go 21-9 every year, get an "at-large" on selection Sunday, and get clobbered by a #3 or #4 in their bracket, yeah, I'll take that for the next 5 years. Then at least we have.... HOPE! Redd was wrong Shoreagle, hope is not a dangerous thing. Andy is right, its the best of things.
Right now, we got nothing, no hope for anything.
And when the fuck did I ever say The words Final Four? I think you may have me mixed up with someone else?
Last time I looked you have to make the Final Four to win a national championship. Look, you went to Northeastern, I went to BC. I want my school to aim higher than an occasional 21-9 and a first round exit from the NCAA’s. I had that with Al Skinner

I understand you are, I am told, some sort of ill-formed lion and you speak. But question: Cooley is not alumnus. He has been the head coach at Providence longer than he was an assistant here. Why would he jump ship, especially when (at this point for BC) it would be a lateral move for him at best?

Money and perhaps he has hit his ceiling at Providence. I also think the p5 conferences are going to pull away soon. They have the money and the leverage.
Thornton Melon {l Wrote}:I just don't understand Kraft taking the job knowing he wouldn't be replacing a FB coach for a while but knew he'd be replacing a BB coach, going out and not having some room to get a legitimate hire. Now, I say that thinking Eisley is a legitimate hire, but I would be shocked if he wasn't going after a big fish. Just reputation alone for his career he has to try and play with those guys.
McDermott obviously would be an awesome hire and in the COVID soaked world would likely be able to avoid media scrutiny for a while, but we don't get guys like that, I'm assuming Schmidt is in the strong running because Pearlman just endorsed him.

At the end of the day, if a coach is good enough and is willing to take on the project, he has the potential to be, in the next ten years, the best coach in the historically best basketball conference in the country.
Boeheim, Williams, and Krzyzewski will all be retiring in the next ten years. There's not another coach in the ACC of that caliber. If a coach believes they could be as good as those guys, why not take the BC job.
TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:It is gay and lame that Douggie Mac was suspended by creighton for saying plantation. I wish he would get pissed enough to leave but I doubt it. We had a nice chat yesterday and he’s staying strong in spite of the gayness of the suspension
He also said I could not stay in his guest room or the cws, so eff him anyway
TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:The challenge is that it’s Omaha. If he had stuck with the colloquialism of “stay on the reservation” it would also have been racist, but at least you can bet sports on the reservation in the Omaha area

Just playing in the NBA is not the point, no one thinks Dennis Rodman should get the Indiana job. But when you also coached in the league for a long time, served as an assistant at a major program (led by a young African American ex-NBA alum with 6 years of NBA assistant coaching experience that had the squad at #2 in the country prior to yesterday), the NBA experience is another arrow in the recruiting quiver.
Eisley is not a small time hire. You might be able to get him for relatively cheap though, now. If UM continues the way they have this season, Eisley is going to blow up sooner or later.
I’d prefer an established guy like Willard, but Eisley nor Gates are small time hires. I’d rather take a chance with them than the JTIII, Paul Hewitt, Brian Gregory crew.
Both Eisley and Gates will get interviews for HC jobs this year outside of BC
Willard is famous for being the son of the Holy Cross coach that gave #1 seeds a tough half. His career record at Seton Hall is okay I guess. Think about that last sentence.
Seton Hall was pretty horrible before he showed up. Would’ve made 5 straight NCAAs if it hadn’t been cancelled. That’s way better than okay.
This is going to be a 4-5 year rebuild at BC so people will need to have some patience with whoever they hire.
Willard is the most mediocre of options with zero upside. I'd rather have his dad, about 80 choices after Eisley
Sorry how is 5 consecutive NCAAs bad? It’s not like Seton Hall was a powerhouse before him
Just stop. He's the JC Penney of coaches. Hard pass and take about 20% off there Captain Shoots.
The hall had been to the tournament 3 times in 16 years before Willard took over.
Agree he ain’t flashy, but I think he’s the type of competent coach BC needs to get back to some level of respectability. Sign me up for 5 consecutive tournaments.
