Did he mention the five fingers fist thing??

In typical fashion, he talked himself up quite a bit.

He is not able to connect to players.

Did he throw any players under the bus?
He partly threw the fans under the bus because he's a craven piece of garbage who blames everyone else for his own acidic personality.

Fuck him and his stupid shaggy dog haircut.

No. He essentially thanked the previous coach for leaving the players on the bus who would get BAM the conference championship.

Bruce Weber to Northwestern.

Post by: Lkdog on March 10, 2022, 01:10:38 PM: My guess is a mid major job. He is 65 and can't recruit at a very high level or deal with the AAU system.
He was never a great fit at a P5 school.

Post by: Beach Bum on March 10, 2022, 01:54:21 PM: scUM should hire him. You know a program that can recruit like crazy but has terrible coaching and could use a savvy assistant.

Post by: illinicalvin on March 10, 2022, 02:43:06 PM: He is designed to do what Phil Martelli has done at Michigan, serve as an experienced second in command to a coach who actually motivates people and fill in when the alpha gets booted.

Maybe he can join the Memphis staff. Or Snacks finally takes a head gig and Bruce helps him out. God, that could be a TV show.

Now at Texas. Only 41 but probably needs to try a head coaching gig soon if he wants that.

Would rather hire The Rev myself, and he'll probably get a head coaching gig first. Dude is ideal for a mid-major religious school to take a chance on.

Powell has had a blessed career. Hooked on with Bryce Drew at Valpo then went to Vanderbilt. Managed to go from a fired staff at Vandy to the most secure job in the country at Gonzaga.
