I think you really want someone who WANTS to come here and coach...as opposed to someone who would just use this as a couple of years.
:shock:
Well, I guess I was wrong!!

I would rather slam my balls in a car door than have him attempt to coach us. My heart can't take losing 10 point leads in the final two minutes.
At least he was never a quitter.

I'm willing to bet my right testicle (And I like that particular one) that our Chancellor placed a phone call to Hancock and said- "open the checkbook and get us a freakin' coach"

maybe not with that adverb in there. But you get the point.

and with that, I go to bed- expecting good news by Saturday.

I respected Coach McKay very much. From the times Ive met him he has been nothing but a great guy. I thought for sure he'd stick around for a while and do great things with the basketball program. When I saw the news after I got back from bowling class. I was like, "say it ain't so Coach McKay!"

Now with that said, I am not questioning the man's faith over
this. Call me naive or call me Polyanna but Im not. The reason I mentioned CMII and ITB (and almost mentioned TBGBG) was the fact that they had been down on Coach McKay and Mr
Barber almost from day one. To TBGBG's credit, he has been
willing to give credit where it is due (and I respect him for that)
but I figure that when this news became official that they would
be the first ones doing a celebratory dance. So I figured, well if
JB and RM are such bad people, then hey, why don't they try to
do their jobs. They seem to be such experts on what is the right
and wrong thing to do with running a multi-million dollar athletic
program.
I only have 1 kidney so I wouldn't bet you that. Good luck on the search though.

Not sure who the new WU guy is.....but even as much junk as I like to talk, not in good taste to kick when someone is down.


That being said.....HMO, let's not get carried away. This whole episode is a shining example of why WU is so many light years ahead of any other program in the league.

I’m a big fan of Russ Pennell. I have watched him all season, and I can say that it was remarkable that he pulled this team back together. Lute Olson retired the first week of the season after being out the prior season due to health reasons. A number of players came back because they thought Lute was going to be the coach. Coach Pennell was the right man for the job as he took a bad situation and salvaged a season and put AZ into the tournament for the 25th year in a row. U of A teams for the last few years were polluted with “me-first” players. He changed that – and he was only an interim coach. He knew he was never going to get the permanent job, but he never complained. He just coached. This is one of the classiest individuals in college basketball.

Would he move back east? Who knows? Is he interested? Not sure. I understand it’s a long-shot, but I want to put his name out there as I hope he will be on Jeff Barber’s radar. They will both be in Detroit this weekend. I know that folks in the AD read these boards; JJ even posts. Hopefully, they’ll consider this. It can’t hurt.
