Do you Tribe faithful think Huge will look at Kimble as a HC candidate? Curious as he is now an assistant at Charlotte and was looked at UNCA this past offseason.

Doubt it.

I highly doubt it. I think Huge will go with a complete program outsider, "big name" hire.

I suppose anything is possible. I'd doubt it though. It doesn't seem logical to fire Shaver and then hire a new coach from Shaver's coaching tree.

Firing Shaver, passing over Holmes and hiring Kimble would make no sense.

Since I haven’t heard otherwise, I assume the assistants are still on the payroll. Have to assume A. Shaver will leave regardless. I doubt Holmes will be given a chance to interview for the head job. Poor Boatner probably thought he was moving into a stable situation when he came here last year.

Not a profession I would recommend to anyone.

Appreciate it, I'm obviously well removed from W&M MBB but thought it was worth checking. Good luck in the process!

I think a new HC should consider to retain Boatner. He is a W&M graduate and a young coach who can bridge the gap between a new regime and current players.

He's not a "big name" splash hire, but Wes Miller is doing some things with UNCG. I can't imagine it would be difficult to match/beat their HC pay.

No.

not going to get a big name hire !!!
don't have money and
Why would they take it ?

Sadly, I’m thinking the same thing. Hope to be surprised.

Doesn't need to be a big name hire to make me happy. Just has to be the right hire

I'll second this.

Actually, what I’m looking for is tangible envidence of an increased commitment to the program ($$$).

Given that, I can give them the benefit of the doubt on the coach selection; absent that, ...

Well then, if it’s not big name, and we want the right hire, I have a name-

Tony Shaver.

It's too late, but with what little I have gleaned from this thread, and not knowing what I don't know, perhaps the conversation should have been along the lines of "We're not adding the extension year to your contract this year and there is a lot riding on next year. We'll review this in early 2020 after the season is over and see where we are then.".

More info, please. What qualities do you want in our new HC?

Huge said a lot of the right things in her letter. He needs to a great recruiter. He needs to be a motivator and respected leader of men. I prefer someone with head coaching experience. We can't afford the inevitable missteps of a 1st time HC. We basically need a Tony Shaver-like coach. I suppose you will say, whe not just keep Tony. Sometimes a fresh face and fresh energy can take a team over the hump. A lot of the head scratching play this year was more mental error related - free throws, execution, careless turnovers. That is something coaching certainly can address. I'm happy to see Coach Holmes sticking around. I doubt the new coach keeps him, but I'd like it if they did at least for the 1st season.
