Oooh....Duggar Baucom.

 

[KE Spider]

No. More like assistant coach needs to be a master of above the rim play and a master of disquising defenses. Folks been seeking him for years. DB Cooper.

 

[AnnapSpider]

I’m thinking we don’t need a recruiter, just a counselor, for members of this board. LOL

 

[MrTbone]

Back to the topic, I presume we are actually still trying to hire another assistant/associate coach?

 

[Eight Legger]

Sounds like we already have.

We had a chance to win both of those games at UNC. The first one I think was our best chance, as I recall. Down a couple buckets with a couple minutes left.

Yea I was given two tickets for each game by UNC season ticket holder. I was single red pullover in a sea of Carolina Blue.
The other ticket was to a tar heel and he had to buy my dinner each time. If I remember we went out a double digit lead at half and just had a couple bad breaks at the end of
that first game.

Sounds like we already have.

Based on the post from Pom?

 

[Eight Legger]

Yep. And my money is on Baucom. Former head coach. Good recruiter. Knows Virginia. Recruited Roche to Citadel. We could do worse.

5 years at Radford with Jones before joining him in Greensboro...should make 23 happy.

Or have we been recruiting him since the 12/22/2019 getaway special?

Hey, even better! And a Hermitage grad, so he's coming home.

 

[Spiders05]

FWIW - think POM gets a nod for scooping this.

POM must stand for "Pal Of Mooney," I guess.

Not a surprise, but we finally posted the job today. Have to make a show of advertising the job openly even though we already found our guy.

No press release that I see yet, but apparently it's official...

Hermitage High grad David Boyden joins Spiders hoops staff from UNCG

Coach Chris Mooney was required to replace all three assistants from the Spiders' 2022 A-10 championship team.

richmond.com

 

[SFspidur]

I don't know if Mooney had an inkling he'd lose all three assistants, but I do like the way things played out with a nice combination of consistency and freshness...he's got the internal promotion for continuity, the former Spider who's had a good number of years elsewhere (albeit still in the Mooney tree) for a good mix, and the new guy who can bring some new ideas and perspective and as a bonus already has familiarity/ties with the area.

 

[POMSpidur]

Long Island… what was that you said?

 

[spider23]

5 years at Radford with Jones before joining him in Greensboro...should make 23 happy.

This hire looks good to me, I like the outside perspective and experience. Quote from one of the articles above when he was hired by Jones:

“He also brings a wealth of recruiting experience and contacts throughout the region, including throughout the great state of North Carolina,” Jones said. “Dave is an impactful driver of our culture because of his approach to life with fun, joy and positivity that is infectious to everyone around him.

Rothstein's a little slow on the draw...

Are we missing a video coordinator?

So this must be what’s meant “putting the cart before the spider”?

 

[WestEndEd]

Hey;

How come Queally isn't just spending a couple million on NIL deals for some upgraded recruits for you guys?

 

[spider23]

With the recent inflation and market down turn, he needs that money to buy Chris beers at the Tavern.

 

[urfan1]

Getting from good source, GIpe has been doing great job recruiting for us and deserves a lot of credit. Smith and Roche, big part in their signing.

We don't need any upgrades. He's banking that cash.

??? But I thought he looked like he should sell knives and can’t recruit? LOL

 

[MrTbone]

If you can sell Cutco, you can sell Spider basketball.

Maybe I missed this and others were aware ...

"Boyden is the half-brother of Grant Golden, a four-time All-Conference honoree who is the second-leading scorer and third-leading rebounder in program history. "
