Sorry to see little brother go - never beat SLU and got destroyed in his last A-10 game. I don't get the hype - good luck in the Big East.

Pistol Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I never believed that he was voluntarily stepping down. And I'm guessing he's been extended once or twice, making his buyout prohibitive for UD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes Kim English stand out is that he's articulate and knows how to set a vision. I can definitely see him excelling in an interview, even if he was white. This is so ignorant when looking at the landscape of college basketball where the coaching profession is hardly representative of the talent pool (that is the number of blacks who played college basketball exceeds the number of whites at the Division I level). Having said that, there are plenty of people who know how to excel on the interview, but then flop on the job. I'll agree that the jury is still out on whether English will be a highly effective coach, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Compton Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 1 hour ago, cheeseman said: How did that work out for Missouri? It's a bit different. Kim English - 34 years old - 2 D1 seasons (finished 9th and 5th) Dennis Gates - 42 years old - 3 D1 seasons (finished 7th, 1st, and 1st - 1 NCAA, 1 NIT) Cuonzo Martin - 45 or 46 year old - 9 D1 seasons (2 NCAAs, 4 NITs) As we've seen with Penny Hardaway, Jerry Stackhouse, Patrick Ewing, etc.... I think there's currently a premium being paid for coaches with NBA experience and ties, even if it's nowhere close to the level of success those guys had (e.g., Kim English or the mentions by some on this board of Blake Ahearn).

Fair enough but one of the reasons they hired him was because he was younger than what they had and was black but I accept your point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I don't care why Kim English got the Providence job. I am just going to miss him at Mason. It was one game you could always chalk up as a W.

Gregory took the Flyers to 2 NCAA's in 8 seasons Miller took the Flyers to 4 NCAA's in 6 seasons Grant has 0 NCAA's in 6 seasons albeit with a HUGE asterisk in '19-20.
