Friday at about 3:30 seems like an appropriate time to drop the news that Eustachy is done
Should we start a thread about possible replacements? Bobby Knight? May Pearl comes over from SC?
LOL just kidding who cares

Becky Hammon would be an awesome hire for them.
I think that’s true for football for sure, and likely basketball to an extent, but a good head coach means so much more in college basketball. Obviously, she’d need the right assistants but I wouldn’t compare hiring Becky Hammon to say Herm Edwards. Especially at a place like CSU.She’d be set up for failure. No recruiting network. She’d be much better off staying in the NBA. She’ll get a shot at a head gig there sooner than later.

It likely won’t happen considering she turned down Florida before. I just think that ultimately, brands recruit - whether it’s a coaching brand or a university brand. Coaches make random recruiting connections all the time. And I think college basketball is easy for a true Xs and Os coach especially at a mid-major. Plus, she’s an alum with Popovich connections so I don’t think there’s any way they would screw her over.
I also (honestly, no snark) don’t know the pulse on her getting an NBA job. I haven’t seen her connected to any searches. Thankfully, her peers have been praising her, which is a start, but owners and GMs are dumb. I think David Blatt should be one of the first hires in the next coaching search and he probably won’t be. We will see tho.
I’d say NBA for her would work better than a men’s college program.Becky Hammon would be an awesome hire for them.
