Staley is not coming to the Hornets.

 

She probably goes back to Virginia if anything.

She will not coach another college team except SC for a long time. Not sure if you are familiar with college coach contracts but a thing called a ‘buyout’ exists. There’s not a school in America that would touch her buyout right now.

It’s either the NBA or South Carolina.

NBA is not a option.

 

If they hire a woman HC it will be Hammon who gets that first opportunity.

Disagree, especially from the Hornets perspective, Staley has proven success has a head coach, Hammon does not.

Not to mention Staley is a local. She led the Sting to the WNBA Finals.

Staley has a much better chance of becoming the Hornets HC than Hammon, though I do agree, it’s unlikely Staley will be the HC of the Hornets.

We can disagree. These are just opinions at the end of the day. None of us really know what will happen.

I mean I do agree it’s unlikely she’s in the NBA, she has a sweet gig, why leave.

If I was her I wouldn’t even want the Hornets job.

Definitely didn't see that one coming. 

I did.

 

Kentucky is a blue blood in college basketball. That team hasn't won a Nat'l championship since 2012 and Calipari has been producing star NBA talent ever since he took over. Some of the best players in the NBA have all came from Kentucky. The fact he only had 1 Nat'l championship despite have the best recruiting classes was a red flag. Kentucky was ready to move on and Calipari obviously felt that pressure to leave.

Calipari hasn't been "producing" poo in terms of NBA talent. They just can't go straight to the draft out of HS so they have to stop in Lexington or Durham for a cup of coffee first.

I now believe you when you say you don't watch NBA basketball.

 

There is no other HC in college basketball who has produced more NBA talent than Calipari.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. Those guys were already high level NBA prospects before they ever stepped foot in Lexington (or Durham). They just weren't draft eligible so they had to play a year of college ball. That year of college ball did nothing for their draft prospects. They were already considered elite prospects. They would've been drafted at pretty much the same spot straight out of HS. Let's be real, you're not doing much development in one year of college basketball. Cal didn't do poo for them. He just took advantage of a system that required those kids to play outside of the NBA for a year post-HS.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
