I think GT did it. They shrunk Alexander Coliseum by about 600 seats during their reno about a decade ago.

Anyone know what section student tickets are in?

Increasingly thinking Covid-19 helped us out here. Forbes would've been one of if not the hottest name on the coaching market. In a normal year, I'm not sure we would be the most desirable opening.

Stop being an asshole. Of course there's a difference between published in the paper and something on Twitter. Connor got fed some bad info and mentioned on social media not via a legit news outlet. Again, stop being a dick.

No, time to move on with a completely clean slate.

Consolation prize for Wes, he doesn't have to go up against Forbes anymore.

This is who we are in 2020. We're not hiring a replacement for Skip Prosser or Dave Odom. We're hiring on the heals of a decade of futility. The idea that if we end up with a less than desirable outcome it is somehow all Currie's fault is ridiculous. It would be ultimately the fault of Wellman...

Ok, I lied. Can't leave with that one waiting a response. Touché. Still, I can name mid-major coaches that never have a Top 100 team that did succeed at the P6 level.

I see that. But the defensive numbers are skewed by their tempo. Nearly all the top teams in tempo have below average KP defensive ratings. I'll wrap my evening with this... 1. I have a gut feeling Kelsey would kill it here, especially in recruiting. 2. The echo chamber of maybe 50 folks who...

Again, like Gard, Izzo is from within and over 20 years ago. I'm looking for plucked from one P6 and turned around another. Has to be a turn around, right...so that were appropriately comparing the current situation.

Greg Gard is a good call...but a bit of a cheat since he was promoted from within. And I was looking for the last 10-15 years...Roy 30 years ago, but I'll give you that one too. Now someone go find the next Roy Williams on a current staff!

Ok, but he also had prior HC experience. Still, I give you that. Which brings me back to the Kelsey hate...I don't understand why Skip assistants like Dino and Mack succeeded but somehow another Skip assistant would fail. It's like there's an anti-Kelsey narrative that many folks on here have to...

Say in the last 10-15 years? I'm struggling to think of one...but I could be wrong.

In all seriousness, who are the P6 assistants that have moved directly to a P6 HC job and succeeded at the level we're hoping for here?

Kelsey is absolutely a much better candidate than any P6 assistant with no HC experience.

I'm sorry, but this P6 assistant search makes zero sense. You'd rather have a P6 assistant than Kelsey who was a P6 assistant and has head coaching experience or Odom who has P6 assistant experience and head coaching experience. I just don't get this at all. Basically you are saying that if...

I'd be upset. Worst hire, imo, among the rumored top candidates...Matta, Forbes, Kelsey, Miller, Turner all would make me happier. He's a Dukie and mediocre.

If you add Josh Howard to the Odom group, I'm pretty confident they'd be in the top few of these imaginary teams.

This. Catching up on about 7 pages worth since mid-day and all of a sudden a group of Matta skeptics. What? I like Forbes and Kelsey, but absolute no brainier if Matta's interested.

Lol, good one. Still, Ryan Odom's a "good" coach. Ready for Wake, probably not...I admit I was wrong there. Still, it is just dumb to say those guys aren't good coaches.
