2 established HC’s with multiple NCAA Tournaments, 2 assistants from high-major programs with deep ties to our state and in Francis’s case, our program? How much more do you want? Pitino? Other than him who was a realistic candidate coming into this? Maybe Becker? Patrick Beilein. Done deal. I like Beilein but something's not right. If his father wasn't the Michigan coach would we be running to hire him?

Holy F. Will Brown to Siena would be priceless on this board. The venom towards him would make JP look beloved. More non sense but fun to see your guys reaction. This is truly becoming a circle jerk. Not if he wins MAAC championships. I'm not a Will Brown guy but we could do much worse. He better beat UA - I'll tell you that! Whoever is here next year has zero chance with the fan base if they struggle, which is very possible. Can't wait for the next name linked or guy contacting Siena about the job. I guess the search committee isn't working if guys are calling about the job.

Aside from his grating personality which we have seen time and time again over his years across the "street," my biggest concern is what he has failed to produce at UA. I believe the school has the resources to support his Program in the same relative fashion that they support football and LAX and other sports which I know nothing about. Time and again they have played up in the NEC but are constantly stymied by their rivals in Burlington - he just can't get that next big one. He just doesn't seem able to get them to the top and into the postseason. He's a good coach but not a consistent winner in my book and I doubt he'd be any different playing all his home games at the TUC. A couple of years ago the guy won 3 in a row... Including against Becker. He's been to the ncaa 5 times... He's almost perfect in championship games... 5-1 You could do far worse... Far... And, with all due respect, we could do much better...Much... (We aren't looking for worse - we've just endured 8 years of "worse")...

Patrick Beilein. Done deal. I like Beilein but something's not right. If his father wasn't the Michigan coach would we be running to hire him? Brought two D2 schools back to being highly competitve. Success In the NCAA tourney. Brought his team to the elite 8 this year. Out of 300 plus D2 schools. His father is John Beilein is that a positive or negative? It’s a positive to me. Does that add to the cache, you bet it does. And that will probably help with recruits as well.

I agree. His father is a big time coach, and that's nice but tell me,
just exactly is that worth? JMO.

To be fair to Willie Wooden if you like John Becker (and I do) his resume is just as good or better and he actually built UA from the bottom in D1.
That said - he's not my first choice and still think he's using Siena to get a better deal from UA. Just can't wrap my head around Will Brown coaching at Siena. Very weird.
I'm on board with Jamion Christian if it's between the two of them.

Not a popular take here, but I like Will Brown. He's a basketball junkie, his teams play hard and "his guys" are super loyal to him. I believe he's motivated too.

I don't dislike him but agree with Boogie. For him, as well as for some others thrown out there, I just think that the next HC has to infuse a really fresh start and this isn't it.

He's been there and done this before. Besides he's got a good gig and one heck of a pension coming if he hangs with UA a few more years. Move makes no sense for him.
