It's funny because Laron Profit looks the most clueless out of all of them. He sits behind the bench every night and just stares straight ahead. I've poked fun at that a few times, in fact. But hey, maybe he's a workhorse behind the scenes. Clearly we like him if he's the only actual assistant coach we're retaining for the moment.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Would love George Karl. Mike Malone would be a candidate if Karl wasn't interested. Other than that, we might as well wait until summer if we couldn't get either of those two.

:D

I think Hennigan has done his job. He's brought in young talent that still has a ton of potential. JV just struggled to consistently put the pieces together. Henny's job should be secure right now.


I was just joking, obviously Rob wasn't the source of the problems, otherwise he'd be fired. He was just trying to take defer some of the negativity.

He was just being politically correct, but that struck me as something funny.

Mark of a good leader is being able to accept responsibility. I appreciate him sticking up for his friend and continuing to adopt the "win as a team, lose as a team" mantra.

I think that is just the way he looks, goofy

Karl might not have much coaching time left in him, but you can bet he'll get this team playing solid basketball and winning games. He's proven and would be a great next step for this team.

If George Karl became our head coach (now or in the offseason) it would be HUGE

George Karl finds our roster intriguing enough to consider a job out here, I love it.

I really don't like George Karl the person but I'm starting to want him as the next coach above the rest of the gang.

I'm all in for giving Borrego a shot. Let he be the HC for a few games and see what he got.

Someone mentioned Kevin Ollie. I think his name should be seriously considered too

Why in the world would Kevin Ollie leave UConn right now? He is a god there right now despite being a questionable hire not so long ago. He doesn't have to track record to go flame out in the NBA before choosing between a mountain of elite college offers still waiting for him. He isn't coach K.

Karl said he likes the talent on this roster about a month ago on NBATV and I thought he sounds like he wants this job
