If the Feinstein rumor is true, it seems like the person he could be referencing is Mack. There's no way it is Cooley, who is having the best year of his career at Providence, and is not going to leave one Big East School for another. I also cannot see Cooley leaving for Maryland. I get that Maryland is in the Big 10, and has plenty of money as a result, and while its had its moments, when you think of top notch basketball, Maryland does not come to mind. And anyway, was it Feinstein who claimed we offered Mack in 2017? On the Kevin Broadus thing: it makes sense and it doesn't. The positive: First, Broadus was a valuable recruiter, even in relatively recent history. If my memory is correct, he had roles in assembling the Peak/Copeland/White class, and while that didn't turn out as any of us wanted (and a big factor in JT3's failures), that was one of the best recruiting classes Georgetown had in recent history. Second, I have no idea if he's "lost it" and not as effective as he was, but he'd be a clear improvement over anybody we have. The negative: Broadus' strength, recruiting isn't one of our main problems. Our main problems are X's and O's, defense, and roster retention. Could Broadus bring in some better DMV talent? Maybe, but I would argue it really does not matter if that talent comes for a year or two, starts, and then leaves for another program like many of the guys who have churned through Georgetown over the last five years. And, I do not see what he's going to do to help on defense or in other aspects (JT3's last few teams, while much better than Ewing's on defense, were still not that good on defense and fouled way too much). The Broadus thing would be more interesting if we were struggling recruiting, but everything else was humming along. He might help at the margins, but I just think without a change at the top, the overall impact would be minimal. I am pretty sure I recall blueandgray being close to Broadus, but assume he cannot say anything anyway.

Likely they are talking about Cooley, also likely that Cooley does not leave Providence. Good on him for telling people our job is better than UMD though. My first thought was Pitino. But Cooley is possible too. I can't imagine that Cooley will possibly leave Providence. He has a bunch of veteran, older, mature players who made this year phenomenal for them and they'll be moving on, but to leave the love and frenzy of this season and his hometown for the losingest team in the BE? Hard to see. I mean, just on this year alone, Cooley will probably never have to pay for a beer or meal for a good long time in Providence. He's also not a spring chicken -- how many rebuilds do you think he has in him? He should have a great recruiting year and can begin anew the climb to the top with retirement pleasantly in the not too far off distance. Just don't think that the Gtown job, attractive as it is, is enough for Cooley to move from where he in now. Maybe you all know something about him that changes the equation.

Pitino would be a monster home run.

I don't think it's Pitino - I listened to the segment above and they all thought Pitino had been told he wouldn't get the UMD job, and that's why he publicly said he's not leaving Iona and he hopes they find another Gary Williams. Also interesting, re: the Gold Club thread from yesterday, and whoever the poster was that thought there was some double standard that no one brings this stuff up with Rick Pitino - they talked for about a minute about UMD not wanting to hire Rick Pitino because he had sex on a table for 30 seconds with a woman his was not his wife and they didn't want that for their head coach. And they yelled about it like it was disgusting. People ALWAYS bring that up with Rick Pitino. You’re giving Pitino too much credit. It was only 15 seconds. He’d probably rather be known for forfeiting a national title.

I was somewhat encouraged after reading Ewing's statement following the last game but those hopes were dashed after reading the AD's statement. I have to believe both statements were coordinated but that could mean either that Ewing can now resign on his own terms or that the AD slammed that door shut with his statement. This season can't end soon enough.

Oh boy! Just get next week out of the way at this point. This is embarrassing. I feel bad he has to defend his wanting to stay when every major news outlet that still pays attention to us is noting that should be a wrap. I listened to the Feinstein thing, it was little more then an educated guess. Would it be the right move, of course. Will it happen, who knows. Unrelated, which game is Ronny calling tomorrow during ours?

Someone seems awfully sensitive about who's breaking up with who.

If one combines this with Reed’s commitment statement, I don’t see a loophole for “stepping down.” Perhaps that’s naïveté, but, when both parties speak, the picture seems clear.

The most embarrassing thing about that tweet is all the fans of other teams in our conference saying they hope he stays forever. That tells you all you need to know!

It seems that the only thing spinning out of control is your ongoing negative narrative...I hope he returns with the opportunity to "right the ship" and at a minimum get the program headed back in the right direction, with the caveat that he return the core of this year's team (I'm not going to name names) and that he add at a minimum one immediate impact power forward type with size that plays both ends of the floor...if those things happen I think we can be a competitive team next year...I'd also like to see a staff addition that is relatively young who is well schooled in the fundamentals and is an outstanding recruiter, especially locally...my pov

Pitino would be a monster home run. Explain, please. Great coach, less than honorable man. Old school values (read "doesn't hesitate to cheat"), so much dirty baggage that will tarnish the program, like it or not. A quick turnaround? Doubtful. And then what -- a handoff to...? Pitino turns 70 in September. Nothing against old-timers, but is this what you want to build the future of the program on?

It would be great if PE took ownership for his actions and looked in the mirror for once. If you love this program as much as you say you do then step down. “I am not a quitter” he says. Ugh, what a dumpster fire.

Program seems to be okay with that re: Pitino. Because Broadus’ tenure at Binghamton would make Rick blush.
