Hasn't been much talk on this front....
In the spaces that Hilltop Hoops did last night, Mike Jones was thrown out there. At first, I didn't think that was plausible, but then I noticed that Mike Jones was actually listening to the spaces, and from what I can tell, stayed the whole time.
That would be a massive hire.

Is he the powerhouse DC guy mentioned in another thread? That one had a majority of Ed's current staff + DC guy. Sounds OK to me.

If I had a chance to get similar pay and get out of Blacksburg/Christiansburg, I'm signing before you finish the question. Plus it's perfect if Cooley only wants to do 4-5yrs.

I hope he brings all of his assistants over from PC since they've been together so long
My curiosity is in who het gets for 2ndary spots on the staff & S&C.

Isn't Patrick Ewing Jr. working for some Canadian team? I don't know what there is to keep.

Also saw that Ed said Prov. asst Ivan Thomas would be at GU.

I know everyone loves Pat Jr, as do I, but I am sorry - he totally lost me when he called out the fans. If he couldn't see how backwards of thinking that was, he was not part of a solution. Maybe it's just me but that was one of the more irritating and disrespectful parts of this recent descent.
If Cooley sees value in any of the holdovers, fine - but I am ready for a totally new start with who actually gets a role on this staff. Honor the legacy, do not forget it - but time to move forward. He shouldn't be beholden to anyone.

I do not infer anything from this but assume there is an HR process that will take time to play out to hire new basketball staff. Then there will be greater clarity on the anticipated changes.

Same here, and up to that point I thought he would’ve been a better college head coach than his dad.

Neither Ewing Jr., Ronnie nor any old staff I would recognize (which is some but not necessarily all) were either at the press conference or a smaller meet and greet held later for Ed and his friends and family. Ivan Thomas - a Prov asst and former HC at AAU Boo Williams and TC Williams HS — was at both and announced at the latter as on the staff now here (I think he also announced that in other interviews earlier too)

Dear Lord, why? To lecture the fan base? The Ewing family has made out like bandits over the last 6 years; the last thing we need is to pay another Ewing we don’t need.

So what PE Jr called out fans. Can any of us say we haven't done something irrational in defense of a loved one.
It's funny how so e of you were willing to give Patino a past for his past transgressions, but are willing to hold PE Jr account table for calling out fans... Give me a break...

You seriously can't see the difference here? Especially after Cooley yesterday? The fans have been tossed aside and treated like a nuisance for years. The fact that he'd act irrational due to the connection IS part of the problem. This program has been run incorrectly for years for that very reason, trying to take care of their own and preserve it. They failed at a historic rate. Time to move on. I also see very little in the way of qualifications for him to be a part of this staff - if he wanted in on coaching at the college level, he should have continued to pursue it. He didn't.
