Nice to hear we won one. Hope these players can stick together and build something longer term here for a change.
Thought this was Mark Pric's team, but then saw this:
Quote:Mark Price years (2015–2017) Charlotte
On March 25, 2015, former NBA point guard and NBA Charlotte Hornets assistant coach, Mark Price was offered a 5-year contract to become the 49ers head coach, which he accepted. Price was fired on December 14, 2017 after a 30-42 record in 2 1/2 seasons at Charlotte and was replaced by assistant coach Houston Fancher.
Price was always one of my favorite all time college players to watch. Loved to watch that Tech team coached by Cremins. Guess star players don't always translate as head coaches. Not sure about Ewing at Georgetown, either. Doesn't strike me as a great head coach choice, but who knows? he's an alum so there's that.
Saw them in Vegas tournament at T-Mobile vs Ole Missed in Nov. We looked about as bad as when I saw Braun's team in Vegas with Kazemi and Oraby. (Back then, Oraby looked like he'd never played the game in his life before. The person I went with was embarrassed for me/Rice while she watched from the Southpoint Arena seats with me.
)
Disappointed how Rhodes' leaving for VCU left us- would've hoped we'd have been at least a step or two above this level when he left.
Can't really blame Pera right now as he doesn't have much of anything to work with.
Can't blame Egor for going to FLA- he transferred here and got his degree, so good to see him play in SEC and do well. Hope he can go pro after. He's a player, for sure. Good 6th man candidate (like Pierce?)
Looks like Rhoades might have had a downturn regardless with the academic issues of a few players who left. We'll never know.
Hard to see our hoops program at the bottom, but maybe we can get a little streak going and finish decent by the end of the year.
