Definitely not TJ

ITS HAPPENING!!!

 

[rochclone]

If it’s John Groce how would the board feel?

 

[CyLyte2]

Whatever happened last season is meaningless. Until the kids are competently coached you can't hold anything against them.

 

[CycloneVet]

If it were me I would have let everyone suffer through about 20 more pages of this thread before writing this.

Now what are posters going to do!?

Im just passing along information that’s all

 

[Cyched]

The longer this goes on without a strong confirmation from either side the more skeptical I am

If it’s John Groce how would the board feel?

I’d be like the people who despise the TJ hire

 

[CyLyte2]

If it’s John Groce how would the board feel?

I don't have a problem with that.

 

[jcisuclones]

If it’s John Groce how would the board feel?

I think everyone would be united in hating that hire

Groce has alot of experience at several levels. He's a good coach. He would deserve the same support TJ deserves.

Definitely not TJ

I'm telling you all that my buddy's brother's wife's sister's husband was pretty confident it was going to be Hornacek

Maybe already mention but TJ to ISU is Wikipedia official.

Edit: its been changed back to UNLV

 

[mynameisjonas]

I honestly hope we are surprised by the hire. I just hope it is a coach that knows how to utilize bigs. We have been severely limited there since Larry. You gotta be able to get easy buckets, defend the lane, and rebound to win the regular season title and advance in the NCAAs. As we have seen, small ball has limitations.

Tang it is.

Where did that name come from? That would be horrible!

My cousin's a grubhub driver who delivered to the AD building last night. He said that the entire front lobby was covered in streamers and balloons, with a big banner that says "Welcome Home Larry!!!!"

Take that for what you will...

 

[Die4Cy]

Ok just heard this morning from my guy in the AD. It’s not gonna be TJ

If that's true the Las Vegas paper did TJ dirty. Pretty much a direct kill shot to UNLV.

i musta missed something where tj coached 51 games already

jp was right about the "swiftly" thing

things move fast

I’d have to think most rational fans figured TJ would be the most likely candidate. The biggest knock on him last time around was no head coaching experience, which he now has.

What does he bring that is different than Prohm? Prohm could bring talent here too - didn’t he bring in something like 3 of our top 5-6 recruits in history? Two of his guys are getting serious NBA minutes. Coaching was Prohm’s issue, not recruiting. Hopefully TJ is different in that.

Prohm was able to get high end talent but wasn’t great at recruiting a cohesive roster. I think TJ will be better at roster management. I think he will be a lot better at getting those 4 year guys that make teams.

A not so subtle message of what they think of him
