I don't want Pitino anywhere near Athens.
Now say another established coach w/Jonas in the situation you described? I'd be good w/it.
But HELL NO to Pitino. Get Enfield.

Fair. And TBH I've moved on to Andy Enfield at USC as the #1 target that Brooks needs to have his eye on.

Is there a recently retired NBA coach out there that we haven't considered? Focus for these kids seems to be to get to the NBA ASAP. So why not place an HC that can be seen as a direct pipeline through Athens to the NBA? Any honorable mentions?

It has to be someone with only a few years of coaching left, to have a planned succession to Jonas. Only an older coach would accept a situation where it was planned they’d hand over the program to another coach in a defined number of years.

I like this idea, as well as Pitino. I can forgive the man and let him get on with his life. I've done some bad stuff in my life too, that I'm not proud of. The NBA guy will, like you said, give them something to think about in NBA knowledge.

Enfield signed extension with USC fwiw

And it isn't a bad idea. Basically a CIW scenario.
As long as it isn't Pitino.

The only reason I don't want pitino is becuase of his old age.
Anyone not wanting pitino becauase of his morals or character or whatever...those types are the exact reason reason we won't ever reach out ceiling in basketball. Those are the same people that wanted to give richt a lifetime contract because "he's a good man" as if that has naything to do with wins and losses. I couldn't possibly give less of a frick about our basketball coach's morals or anything he has or hasn't done in his life; I want someone that will win basketball games. Period. As long as they aren't a murderer or rapist or something, that's different obviously. But previous cheating? Infidelity? Didnt' pay taxes? Friend of the mob? Who cares, just win.

1) You are doing the same thing you got on to the other dude for. You taking your ball and going home accomplishes zero.
2) What is your problem with him? That it may somehow harm the prestigious image of UGA basketball? Do you want to win or not?

I think people need to keep their expectations in check on this hire. It’s not a particularly attractive job right now, even compared to last time it was open.
Jonas is highly likely IMO.

It will always be attractive due to the talent readily available and the money we're willing to throw at someone. I honestly don't expect a sean miller type because they're out of our league but I don't see why we can't and won't get one of the highly touted mid major guys like mcasland, gates, mcmahon, etc. Those guys are in teh same boat Musselman and Oats were a few years ago and they turned out fine.
Jonas is only likely if we dno't care about winning at all, and only want to placate the good ol boy network in the program. And again Brooks hasnt' shown that that's his thing.

He is a morally bankrupt, reprehensible shitgoon. I want no part of him around Athens spreading his poison around.
I do wanna win, I just want some semblance of it being done on the up-and-up. I'm not naive, I know college athletics, and CBB especially, is a dirty business. My #1 choice this whole time has been Sean Miller, a man who doesn't have clean hands himself, a chance to come here, clean up his reputation, and take this program where we all know it can go.
If that puts me on an island concerning Pitino, fine. I live by the mantra "what is right isn't always popular", and that definitely applies here. I could give two fricks if you or anyone else here likes my take on Pitino, but I'm gonna stand for what I believe is right,.
Like I said, if they hire him, I'm out.

I just don't see why that matters when it comes to winning basketball. Are you one of the people that will refuse to watch a movie if the lead actor isn't the same political party as you?

how exactly does being a shitgoon mean that winning isn't done on the up and up? 95% of coaches that have gotten in trouble in the past for "cheating" wouldn't even be given a second look in today's game since cheating is essentially NCAA sponsored now.

seems a tad hypocritical IMO

LOL. So bad guy #1 can come here to turn his life around and reinvent his image and get on the right path (bc you like him), but bad guy #2 can frick right off and shouldn't ever be close to the program (bc you don't like him). Is that right?

You're not on an island, I've seen plenty of other old people that have the same mindset. I just think that it's a silly stance to take. You can hate a person for their character but still enjoy the fruits of their labor as it relates to the success they bring the program. I don't know if you'll find anyone that would call Suzanne Yoculan a kind, caring, choir girl but we all surely appreciate the frick out of what she did here right?

That will be a cowardly hire by Brooks.
We can and should aim higher.

Fair question. Miller seems like a good person who made a mistake and has a moral compass. Pitino has no moral compass at all. That's the difference.

Again, fair. We are all hypocrites in some way.

Should hire: Up and Coming coach seeing lots of success at a mid-major
Will hire: Coach that was up and coming seeing lots of success at a mid-major, then had a less than impressive stint at a more attractive power 5 basketball school

Way outside the box, what about Dawn Staley from USCe?

Simply based on the scuttlebutt out there I think we're going with option 1. It seems like most of the names getting tossed around are in that mid-major pool. Who would even fit in taht second category that's out there right now?
