Why Mike Miller? What has he done to make you think he would be a good head coach?

I am done with the experiments between Penny and Pastner. Just go get the best available.

No proven high D1 coach will come here now. It'll have be taking a flier on a lower level up and comer.

If they suck add 5 mores years of ****** basketball.

If they do well they will be hired awsy but at least you 'd get a couple of years of good basketball out of it.

Its literally a no-win situation for the fan base now.

That is completely untrue and there is no rational reason for believing that. Save that drama for your momma.

Well, unfortunately i think we are going to find out.

Personally, at this point i think Penny will be back next year. I don't know what the roster or staff will look like though....

If he leaves I don't believe a successful, proven high level D1coach will take the job. (Maybe Larry Brown for a couple of years?) Who knows for sure but I don't see it.

The program is a dumpster fire, the league is about to be CUSA, and there is no recent success to build off of.

The program is in about same or worse shape than it was when Cal took over. So, what proven final four coach with some tread left on the tire will come in here under those circumstances?

That sounds almost like a GP copy/paste.

We dont need a "proven final four" coach though. We need a coach who has proven to have the ability to take US there.

Yeah, what did we get the last time we went for a "proven final four coach"? A grifter looking to pad his retirement account, telling us to lower our expectations and remember our place.

Fan base that loves basketball as much as any fan base in the country and creates an absolutely electric atmosphere with competitive teams.

Practice Facilities that are top notch and a state of the art NBA home court.

2 #1 classes in the last 4 years so you can clearly recruit here.

This is not college football so conference affiliation is basically pointless. The conference is not going to prevent us from getting to the NCAA tournament. We can go out and build a competitive non conference schedule that offsets a weak conference.


Some of you all just live in a glass completely empty manner that must be miserable.

Every one of us has connections. We all hear stuff, whether it's true or not; inside info, rumors, guesses, etc. Some of it comes from the AD or even the President of the University directly, as filtered through an Ambassador, and some comes from your Uncle Lemuel's cousin's daughter, who has visions.

I have heard from what I consider to be a reliable source that at least one very successful high D1 coach has let it be known that he wants the job, should it come open. Believe me or not, take it for what it's worth. But with our budget and facilities, we won't have a shortage of applicants whenever Penny's reign ends.

That seems much more likely than us being relegated to hiring a juiciness high girls coach because nobody else will even look our way.

Sooner or later, our boosters and admin will decide to get serious about hiring a competent basketball coach who is interested in winning. The current one and last 2 don’t and didn’t fit that description. Until then, it’s just pointless to even care

PENNY recruited those classes.

Conference affiliation in bb matters now more than it ever has. Certain conferences will get the additional bids over others based on reputation. What the AAC is about to become is a 1 bid league.

Yeah the facilities are nice and they have been for a long, long time. Hasn't helped much in the last decade.

If Penny burns the place down on his way out the door you will find out just how bad it can get.

So we like Danny Wolken now…?

Okay. Sure we suck and program is burning to the ground and we should all just give up… Does that make you feel better to have others share in your panic and misery?

Meanwhile, in reality. We will be fine after Penny is gone.

The program is in trouble, the conference got wrecked, sure - the program will be fine given no time constraints everything WILL be fine and everything WILL suck. Eventually.

Go back to 2008-2009 Cal's last year. That was the last time the program was really 'fine'.

That's 13 years ago - but yeah - eventually it'll all be 'fine'.

I seem to recall that in the past you've admitted you only care about Tiger Football & could care less about Tiger Basketball.

It is not. You have me confused with someone else.
