Interested to see what ND ponies up for a coach who has made 1 Sweet Sixteen, 2 Elite Eights and 0 Final Fours in 18 years at the helm (granted the 2 best years came in the last 4).
It took me a couple secs to figure out how he could have made a 1 sweet 16 but two elite 8s before I caught onInterested to see what ND ponies up for a coach who has made 1 Sweet Sixteen, 2 Elite Eights and 0 Final Fours in 18 years at the helm (granted the 2 best years came in the last 4).
Yea, poorly worded. To your point, a better way of saying it is that ND only got as far as the sweet 16 in 3 out of 18 seasons with Brey. And that happened only once in the first 14 years. Only in the last 4 years did they break thru twice to the Elite 8 (and then lose).It took me a couple secs to figure out how he could have made a 1 sweet 16 but two elite 8s before I caught on
The Knicks intend to contact Villanova's Jay Wright about their head coaching vacancy, the Daily News has learned.
According to a source close to the club, Knicks management believes Wright would be a perfect candidate for a rebuilding club.
Why would you let this leak if there is any doubt?
At 57 with Nova firing on all cylinders- and being a Philly guy - will be interesting to see if he pulls the trigger for a couple of mill per year
He is already set for life
Would they really consider David Blatt? Jay Wright would be a dream fit for the Knicks.
Their style of play (high volume 3pt shooting) is what the NBA is all about right now.
Gerry McNamara rumoured to Siena.
Remember when Hewitt was being looked at by the Knicks?.........Blatt is actually a good coach, was totally miscast for the CLeBrons.
Wright to NY would simply be a money-grab for him IMHO. A guy like that doesn't go to a place with poor management structure due to the fact that he knows they won't win right away and it's highly likely he'd be fired sooner than deserved.
Names thrown out on NBARadio have been: Fitzdale, Wright (acknowledged as unlikely), Jerry Stackhouse (hot name believe it or not), Jackson and J. Van Gundy.
Best hires IMHO: Van Gundy (short-term, culture-setter), Blatt and Stackhouse - look into what he's done the last few years as a coach, he's actually put in the work.
He may have been offered for all we know.Remember when Hewitt was being looked at by the Knicks?.........

I can say with a reasonable level of certainty that he also accepted the St. John's job, and Dan Rad convinced him to stay at GT, only to fire him the next year.
Wasn't sure if I stated that tidbit publicly yet. I think it's a pretty astoundingly counter to public opinion of who held GT basketball hostage.Why ya gotta bring up old stuff
