UCLA want Donovan from OKC...I think Donovan might be ready to move on from the Thunder.

Freddy, Earl Watson back-up plan.

OKC is third in the East and Donovan just signed an extension. UCLA isn't getting him.

Hoiberg come on down.....

Makes sense. Probably a good fit/get.

Except for the fact that he hates recruiting...

Guess we will see if he hates recruiting more than he likes getting paid to be a head coach of a basketball team.

I'll answer for myself b/c this topic interests me: It's UCLA and L.A. The program sells itself. Hoiberg now has complete NBA chops in front office, scouting and head coaching that will help keep California kids at home.

He'll tie the program in with the Lakers and Clippers given his connections. He can obviously coach at this level. Good dude, too. He won't let LaVar Ball into the belly like Alford did.

The thing for me is that he has already said he doesn't enjoy being a college head coach. Combine that with he just doesn't seem like a guy who would get caught up in the "but it's LA" hype.

Personally, I just think his name is being thrown around because he's one of the best that are unemployed right now. Even if it means there's no way he coaches there. Which is what I would bet on.

I believe he said he didn't particularly enjoy recruiting.

Regardless, all of my comments on why I think he would succeed are on the assumption that he would actually take the job. I would surely think he would not take the job if he did not want to coach college basketball again.

Yes, the recruiting is what he said he didn't enjoy, but how many people enjoy a job that they admit to hating a very important portion of the job duties?

Whoa. Illinois gets it!

FWIW, I think you would find very few head coaches that enjoy recruiting. Maybe some of the assistants do, especially those that aren’t good at anything else (Snacks, KT).

Context also matters. I assume that The Mayor made those comments when asked about the advantages of coaching in the NBA over college. I would think recruiting is what every coach would immediately say is terrible about coaching college ball.

Maybe he'll find out he just hated trying to get players to want to go to Iowa State.

Bol Bol just had a huge game for Oregon in a route of Syracuse.

Sucks when the guys who were supposed to go to KU are good.

Can we add Bol and Ayton to the recent big man curse?

I trust he enjoyed his time in the northwest. Out for the season with a foot injury.

I’ll be in Pauley in 30 minutes. Sucks to be me but it’s keeping me out of trouble. Maybe I’ll start a WE WANT THE MAYOR chant to keep myself entertained. Or maybe not.

Change it to "We Want Walton" and see if you can start something.

I'm watching Xavier and Seton Hall on Fox Sports OH.

There is a noticeable lack of crappola on the screen. No score/time/foul banner. No crawly thingie across the bottom of the screen. Just the basketball game.

I like it.

not a fan of sparty’s black w/ neon green highlights

[Deleted User 89]

this is a pretty good ohio st. - sparty game

[Deleted User 75]

I'd love to see Danny get an upset over Duke in this game!

[twocoach]

Go Baylor! Playing at home vs. Iowa State right now.

[Deleted User 75]

Why go baylor?

[twocoach]

Why go baylor?

You're kidding right? It is advantageous to Kansas' Big 12 title aspirations for the other teams that look to be contenders to lose as many road games as possible. They are all going to win most if not all of their home games. The team with the best conference road record will win the Big 12.

I'm not.

I edited my post to spell it out for you. I didnt think I would need to.

[Deleted User 75]

We're like 2 games in. I'm not rooting for other teams in early January. Especially not Baylor. Plus, the only threat to us is TT. Just to spell it out for you.
