If Coach Ford were offered the Kentucky job, that would mean he's built us up into Gonzaga Midwest. He would have spent more time as an adult in St. Louis than he has any other city. He would be one of the most beloved figures in St. Louis sports history. I guess you could leave that situation, but why? willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why did he retire for a year and a half before going to UNLV? The second question is what direction was the program headed when he retired?

Only one stipulation: He had to play the point. Yuri decided to return. Ramey said “adios.” This is not.a secret. SLU staff talks about it openly now. The larger concern is Yuri still does not have a lucrative NIL deal. -can you expand on this? especially if Tenn was giving $200,000 why turn that down for nothing or not much?

What in his resume suggest that one of the top programs in the country would come calling? I agree with you but a trip to the Elite Eight would bring offers. Witness Holloway from St Peters. One night under the bright lights and he was poached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was meant to be a hypothetical situation if Travis were able to turn us into a perennial NCAA team with a couple 2nd weekend tourney runs. Obviously they aren’t replacing Calipari with Ford now. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that if Travis has sustained success here and elevates the program to a perennial top 25 team, that Kentucky could view him as a potential replacement for Cal should they ever need one.

HoosierPal Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Sports on a Sunday Morning, 12/4, Coach Ford with Tom Ackerman (Not much new.) Coach felt Okoro had some good moments, including the two hand jam put-back. SIU had been winning with defense, and our defense had been outperforming our offense. Thought the game would be low scoring. Both team offenses were playing really well. Thought our offense efficiency was as good as it has been for first 30 minutes. Didn't like SIU's three's. Collins' dishing out dimes. Special passer, on time, on target. Assists takes two people. Player needs to make the shot, make the cut, make the screen. Praise for the guys on the other end of the pass. They are running harder, screening harder than before, making the shot. Perkins on the bench a lot, particularly after his third foul. Three offensive fouls. It was as much as Thatch playing very well than Perkins not performing. Game became defensive with 10 to go, so Thatch needed to be in there. Needed Thatch out there for his D. Iona coming up, with Pitino on the bench. Last game came down to a tip-in. It was a very physical game last year and will be this year. They are a big team, having added some good transfers. They will press and trap for 40 minutes. Boise State beat Texas A&M soundly at TAM yesterday. Drake maybe the oldest and most experienced team in the nation. With the Woman's team winning over a good Illinois State team, that made it a sweep at Chaifetz for the Billikens yesterday.

dlarry Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 You need to remember everything any coach says is said with a purpose. Is he saying that about the defense to build confidence? Is he saying that to motivate the offense? Did the Bills execute really well something that was emphasized in practice? We won’t ever know for sure.

slu72 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I would say our D sucks against the 3. And we’d better start hitting our 3s. Any game against Pitino scares me. Love him or hate him Slick Rick coaches his ass off. Schasz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
