Whole lot of stupid on this thread. Coaching changes really bring that out it seems

So why isn't Howland on a studio set somewhere? He's wasting away. He's not even thinking about basketball the way Dino is.

Maybe he's lazy.

He's been on FS1

He's been on FS1

Whew. That's a relief.

Plenty of people have posted various articles on this board about how Howland basically spends all his time watching and studying basketball.

If the substance is that Wellman will be firing Bz and is pushing hard for Howland (and whomever else)....then why does it matter that it officially gets pushed off...other than appearances? This process doesn't start the day Bz gets fired/resigns...it's already started.

There is no good reason to officially push off [Redacted]'s firing or resignation unless Wellman wants to either (this is assuming that our insiders are correct in that decision was made awhile ago)

a) Have a formal press conference praising Bz and thanking him for his time and work (not necessary)
b) Make it seem like he is going through his formal annual post season meeting review with the coach before making a decision

Nobody benefits from lingering

Chris -

Thanks for the link(s)....Ugg !

Lousy reading....not quite as bad as Pearl but not good. Like Dino, I guess there's reasons why Howland hasn't landed another gig somewhere.

Can't see Wellman/Hatch/BOT or the alum out there with $7 million burning a hole in his pocket going all-in on Howland.

Why do you keep bringing up Dino? There is no evidence he did anything wrong. Quit smearing him with your innuendo.

We would be damn lucky to have Howland as our next coach.

awesome

If someone can clear up his baggage for getting axed at UCLA I'd be grateful.

If it's deemed minor or circumstance fine. If it's somewhere between Gaudio and Pearl type stuff than he's not viable IMO.

Oh please, not again must we ?

I'm looking ahead. Let's ascertain what caused Howland to get axed at UCLA, o.k. ?

lol... I'm moving ahead until the next post I make which again tries to shit on Dino.

I am rubbing my eyes in disbelief that people are questioning whether Ben fucking Howland would be a big enough hire at Wake. The questions really are:

1 - would he want it? Tampa paper saying maybe

2 - would ron actually go after him? Who knows?

3 - is he a cultural fit? They loved him at Pitt who IIRC is in our conference.


Yeah he is 56 but he can coach for 10 years and I would rather have a guy that is our best bet for 5 to 7 years because we are in absolute crisis mode as a program and need to start fixing shit now.

Right. Take all of the Final Fours he has ever been to, add them up, and then compare them to aggregate of all of the basketball coaches in Wake history. He doesn't compare favorably to any coach we've had, he compares favorably to ALL of them. Was there a "cultural" issue in his dismissal at UCLA?

So, f-ing predictable. Rich Brooks, John Mackovic, Tubby Smith... Hire an old coach that had success in the past, but lacks the energy to build a special program.
