Marshall to the Lakers

[EB 22]

Oh, he's still a proven loser.

Touche' but championships at both the collegiate and professional level don't come by easy for head coaches.

This would suck if we have to try and find a coach in June

Lakers will make a splash, intend to reach out to Calipari and Ollie: http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?s...es&src=desktop …

While it won't eliminate it, timing will limit the possibility of a college coach leaving too. It would be a larger possibility that an NBA person be chosen. It's not worth sweating it but if you insist on sweating, go ahead.

Calipari is a proven loser in the NBA. Can't imagine the Lakers having even the slightest bit of interest, but if they did and he did go we probably should get nervous.

Yes. But I have heard Cal is due for some fairly major surgery and also may have some family issues that make this upcoming season not a good time to make a move. Lets hope that is true.

Before it starts, I'm totally committed to helping this group of young men reach their dreams. I wouldn't & couldn't leave this group!

[jocoshock]

Except that's one of the few scenarios that's actually plausible. I don't think that Coach Cal will leave, but if he did there would be a lot of hand ringing around here.

That scenario, if offered to HCGM, almost falls into the no-brainer category for HCGM. The only reasons to take pause for him would be loyalty to the veterans and fear of following Cal, given what happenef at UMass and Memphis after his departures.

The NCAA must not be on his tail yet.

I'm surprised to hear him say this outright. That's a discussion ending statement and he knows it. It would be difficult for even him to weasel out of it if he changes his mind.

If there was one scenario that no coach in their right mind would want to leave, it would be the scenario Coach Calipari has going into next season.

It is NOT a dream that we could face them in the final game next year.

Our players and coaches deserve it just as much if not more than they do. I'd live with any outcome.

I would freaking love that rematch! Would be epic!

There will always be an NBA job if Marshall wants one. He knows that, so he isn't going to leave for that. Now, a chance at Duke? Once in a lifetime, if you ar lucky.

Unless of course we have have a great record going into the NCAA tourney, but this time they put US as the 8 seed against Kentucky as the 1 seed this time. Wouldn't be surprised at all. Except this time we get the revenge.
