🏀 KuBuckets Archive

From "hero to goat" in (even by today's standards) record time:

He'll be forgiven.

Also--the Nova team could potentially (not even reasonably likely) return this entire championship team next year. They are just dominant in so many phases of the game. They played hard with a chip on their shoulder. They didn't cave when things were not going their way. I always had Jay as a top replacement for Self if he left over the last 5 years or so for the NBA. I also didn't realize he was the same age as Self, however.

@Blown

Chances are Wright might end up coaching the 76ers, perhaps sooner than we think.

@JayHawkFanToo Jay Wright to the 76ers? I'll believe it when I see it.

@Blown If/When Coach Self retires from KU, his replacement will have KU ties in some way shape or form and an elite coaching pedigree. JMO

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nova gave Jay a huge contract here within the next few months. He’s rated at just the 24th highest paid coach in the nation. Guys like Gregg Marshall (top 15 paid coach and maybe why he’ll never leave), Shaka Smart, Avery Johnson and Archie Miller all make millions more per year, none of which has a NC let alone 2.

@Lulufulu There's nobody worthy of the KU job right now with KU ties that hasn't already coached here previously outside of John Calipari.

Calipari is the only coach out there with KU ties that wins at a clip high enough to be considered for the job. Gregg Popovich of the Spurs is the only coach with KU ties that I would take right now.

Neither Cal, nor Pop are coming to KU which means there's not a realistic candidate worthy of the KU job with KU ties right now.

@Lulufulu

Lots of talk about it in other boards.

They don't have the money. His current contract already stretches their budget super thin.

@BShark

If I recall correctly every game in the tournament was worth over $1.7M so Villanova earned over $10M payable over the next 6 years. I don’t know if the Big East shares money. Interesting that Loyola made more money than the entire PAC 12.

He's was a kid. Those tweets where when he was in high school. We can't hold that against him. Bottom line Coach Jay and Nova are kicking arse and taking names. Though I do have a problem with the university of Villanova trying to cover it up.

Welcome to the "digital age."

Nothing ever really goes away on the net. It's a real-time archive. Truth be.... none of us should show any comments with our real name because eventually something said in those comments won't fit future times and then the trouble starts.

@drgnslayr waaah? Your real name not Dragon Slayer?

@DanR His real name is Nighthawk 😂😂😂

Many of the names people call me can't be repeated in here and come with free hand gestures. lol
