Iffff we were to look for a coach who would be realistic targets?

So we’re going to call off the Juwan interview tomorrow? Seems a bit fishy. Maybe a leverage play?

I mean, if it’s “true”, I hope it’s literal in that he would accept an offer, but that an offer hasn’t actually been made.

Yeah, I’m not putting stock into it until some bigger names are saying this.

Please no. This would be a ridiculous thing to do, especially before even interviewing Juwan.

One has to be suspicious, given that an interview with Juwan is widely reported to be taking place tomorrow. Withholding judgement. . .

Yeah, that makes it feel like it’s coming from his agent. We almost certainly wouldn’t be talking about money at this point.

Well it doesn’t say if it’s $6 mil total or per year.

I’d guess total.

Man I hope to god this isn’t true. Cooley was last on my list of the plausible candidates. This would reek of WM hiring one of his buddies.

It would have to be annual. Any contract we give will be for 5-6 years, and we’re not only paying $1M per season.

That kid looks like a basketball announcer on the student network?

I guess it could be plausible?

You’ve gotta be kidding me. $6 million for Cooley…if that’s true then I’m really questioning Warde. Beilein made less than $4. Izzo makes $4.5. Smart would be valued closer to $6 than Cooley imo. He definitely isn’t worth $6 mill either. Not close.

I don’t know, I sincerely doubt we are making Cooley a top five paid coach.

Whatever. I guess I will just hold my breath and hope it all works out.

OK, looking at this guy’s Twitter page, he’s a current student at Providence and has all of 358 followers. So yeah, probably not reliable.

This is why I”m taking it with a massive grain of salt. No way this is his salary if he does end up being hired. If it were, Warde should be fired by the regents on the spot.
