Who is your top choice to replace KK?

IT SEEMS THE Same group of coaches talked about for UNLV are the same list mentioned for every other opening so Bucky may have a chance to move somewhere more comfortable for his family. I DON'T THINK COACH ODOM'S FAMILY WAS EVER COMFORTABLE IN LAS VEGAS.. THEY WERE MID WEST SOUTHWEST PEOPLE.

that's because there are a handful of really good coaches and a handful of really nice openings and we still haven't hit the "first weekend of the tournament darling phase". Every nmae you will hear is going to be in that list and frankly its a deep roster that doesnt include the suspects our local media have put out like hiring Lindy, or Brown, etc...

He was due to have a bad year next year..

“Bucky Ball” in Vegas? UNLV Rumors Heat Up​

The most intriguing name making the rounds for the UNLV job is Samford head coach Bucky McMillan. Since taking over in 2020, McMillan has led Samford to a 99-51 (.660) record, including a 22-10 mark this season as they continue their NIT run. He has posted four consecutive 21+ win seasons, peaking with 29 wins last year. “Bucky Ball” in Las Vegas would certainly be an exciting storyline to watch.

Bucky Ball games scoring 100 or more points = 5
The fired guy games scoring 100 or more points = 0

Bucky Ball games scoring 90 - 99 points = 5
The fired guy games scoring 90 - 99 points = 1

Bucky Ball games scoring 80 - 89 points = 9
The fired guy games scoring 80 - 89 points = 2

See the trend here this past season. Wouldn't it be nice to see us score some points instead of wishing for better days.

It’ll be nice to see a cohesive offense where it doesn’t look like a pickup game at Sunset Park.

That’s where Bucky shines, actual development and an offense that can be learned and players have confidence in their coach.

I'm now thinking that we may not hear until late in the week, even to Monday.

Really depends on who it is. 3 of our top choices in my opinion I think are coaching this week.

I still think that Wade is very unlikely. But what happens if he makes it past the first weekend? I don't think that is impossible. That would probably put the nail in the coffin at that point.

Wade, Olen similar issue. Wade makes it past first weekend he's heading to a bigger job than NCst.. Olen would have his pick as well...
That said, it's a deep bench this year with few P4 openings and lots of good coaches/program builders

It takes some time to hammer out a final contract.

I think a lot of the preliminary work has been done.
