Ritchie is the most likely of the four

Try again...........

Wow, a second guess? Thank you all-knowing informant!

I'm not here to give you the destination, only to occasionally light the trail.

Why do many think new coach will be a former LU coach ?

it's not happening.

[ballcoach15]

I think that way also. LU will hit a home run with new hire. Former coaches are "singles" hitters.

[Bigsouthking]

i'm not sure Liberty will hit a home run, i mean Brad Stevens isn't coming to LU, that being said I think LU will get a solid coach or they'll get someone that everyone is like..... ugh this guy.

[ballcoach15]

Brad Stevens isn't the only "home run" out there.

[adam42381]

Home runs are very unlikely at Liberty's level. A solid double would be a win.

[ballcoach15]

You might be right, but I think Jeff Barber hit home run with football, baseball and softball. He does have HR power.

According to another forum, Moton has already signed the papers to be a part of LU basketball!!

Of course he probably graduated by now.

I'm not sure a home run press conference is going to happen or not. But the results will decide whther or not this, or any other hire for that matter, becomes a home run. Time will tell.

We have different definitions of home runs.

[Sly Fox]

HR short term and long term are not necessarily synonymous. We have urgent short term needs that may supercede the longterm health concerns.

Nothing would say FBS ready like buying out Bennett's 7-year contract & bringing McKay back as an assistant ..

Shut the thread down. We have a winner

Just saw that HC David Carter got fired from Nevada. I hope he doesn't get added to the LU list. He's had a real drought out there in Nevada the past 3 years....

[jimflamesfan]

Pete Gillan has come to watch some LU games in the past.

mlschubert that post was the highlight of my day... might say more about my day than anything.

I seriously brought this up in my Sunday school class a few weeks ago, saying the best Christian coach in America was only an hour away in Charlottesville.

[BJWilliams]

We would definitely make sportscenter if we pulled that off, especially after a deep run by UVa

[olldflame]

Manson has added the names of Dave Dickerson and Jeff Lebo to his list. He also says 2 names have been removed and 2 "no longer make sense", but neglects to say who they are.

I'm not a Lebo fan. Dickerson is an interesting possibility.

[jinxy]

Not a lebo fan at all. Dont really see much special about dickerson either. Lutz and barclay are too similar to dl to me. To me the best bet would be to pull the double whammie on michigan like sj was mentioning i believe. I doubt it would all work out but i dont see a lot of other candidates on this list that are impressive.

[olldflame]

According to Manson the 2 deleted names are Barsh and Allison. Ryan Mantlo has thrown his hat into the ring. I'd love to have an LU guy on the staff and I think he would be a great assistant. He has an impressive record at Cape Fear CC (169-94), but 8 years of JUCO doesn't stack up very well against some of the other candidates.

[PAmedic]

I'd say if Jason Allison is out, Mantlo has no chance

IMHO

[Sly Fox]

I can't believe that I am agreeing with Medic. I hope this doesn't become a habit.
