Interesting how the QPAC coaching search is going. Looks like Nova assistant coach Baker Dunleavy is the coach if he wants it, and even supposedly searching for assistant coaches for his staff. Rumor he wants at least one of the current Nova assistants to join his staff, yet there are reports that AD Amodio is getting lots of pressure to give the job to Grasso. The other main name seems to be Xavier assistant coach Travis Steele. Xavier's season can come to an end tomorrow night. Would imagine the new coach will be hired by the weekend. [/quote They won't name coach until women are out tbey said, so Dunleavy could have been hired already but waiting for announcement Exactly what I was thinking.

Exactly what I was thinking. Impossible. 81 said Grasso was a guarantee.

Are you referring to Iona's president above? If so, he was at Iona last night to collect $15 million from Hynes.

Guy, just a guess, but he might be referring to Quinny.

Dunleavy makes perfect sense for Quinny. Preppy type hire with a high major pedigree and with an NBA last name. They are clueless, all about sizzle and not about substance. If they came to their senses they would hire Grasso, but as suspected all along, they are going to opt for the headline name.

Like you said, I think the AD is trying to make a bit of a splash. Dunleavy is hoping to bring at least one, if not two, of the current assistant coaches on Villanova's staff. Pretty impressive, at least on paper, for a MAAC program to bring in 40%-60% of a national championship staff. The belief probably is that type of hire would spike interest and donations for the program. Their hockey program is at a national level. The women's team is on a miracle run to the sweet 16. very important hire for their men's program, and I believe they want to make the biggest splash they can with this hire.

Are we overlooking the obvious? ?? Cluess and Grasso with their outstanding performances and records should have been a hot commodity in college basketball circles since their coaching and recruiting talents became known... Why have they not been snatched up by higher rated teams who can and would offer much more including salary..... Could the answer be right before our eyes and increasing with each passing season...It being that they are perfectly satisfied with their present lifestyle and financial position and have no desire at their mid-ages to disrupt it... I went through a somewhat similar delemma...After retiring at 60 years of age, I was offered several Law Enforcement positions...They meant though inheiring many problems...I choose to play golf and take a part time position with lesser responsibilities...I have no regrets... That is my opinion...Now watch...One or both will leave before to long...
