Don't worry, it'll remain quiet until a candidate is put in front of the board and a donor doesn't like him. Then it will get leaked to blow the search up to get a donor favored candidate in the mix.
Happened during the HFB search a few months back. Will probably happen again because GT can't get out of our own way. Hopefully Batt learned the way the GT system works and gets it to finishing line without any interference.

Pastner’s personality is great; his offense is a mess, though

With NIL the only personality that matters is Benjamins

What I should have said. As usual, I prefer to go with the horse that brung me, but that's as likely to be a mistake as not.

Is it? Likeable? Yes, but i would not say a great personality like a Bobby Cremins or Mack Brown. Pastner is a really weird dude. Even too weird even for Tech fans.

Dayton fans looking to unload Anthony Grant, perhaps we can get him cheap, like we got our last coach?

Fleck got hired before NIL was put in place. I am not saying weird guys cannot be successful. Even a weird guy like Fleck can work in this NIL environment if they have a repoir with fan base and have had some level of success. My concern is bringing in a weird dude who not only has the hurdle of trying to jump start the program, but also is trying to connect with our boosters who are persnickety when it comes to who they like enough to invest in the program.

Potential Kelsey/Richey second round matchup. Winner (or loser?) gets the GT job.

Yeah, seems a nice fellow. I liked everything about him except his coaching. I wish him well.
Was hammered for saying the same. It just doesn’t fit the city

About the Princeton Offense (stuff I didn't know):
www.coachesclipboard.net
teachhoops.com
From the article:
"The Princeton Offense will actually do MORE for your role players because it has the ability to “manufacture” shots that they cannot create on their own. So the advantage of running an offense like that versus one where you hide your role players is this. Now the defense has to stay honest and they cannot as easily target your best player with double teams and stopper defensive philosophies. I actually argue Princeton can actually “FREE” up your best player(s) rather than coup them up.
The Princeton Offense is designed to take the tension out of the game and to help even the playing field especially for the underdogs."

Firman will be comfortable playing at UVA’s pace. UVA is missing a key player.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that the Princeton is what you run when you lack talent.

We just ran the Princeton poorly. We also tried 4-out and 5-out, and ran those poorly. There are a lot of schemes that can relieve the pressure on your players to create their own shots.
Just because we didn’t execute them well doesn’t mean that they’re not wonderful to watch when played well.
To be clear, I was speaking of the offense in general not really commenting on how we ran it.
I would comment on how we ran it, but I heard a rumor the mods frown on using all the swear words in one post.
