ha sign me up for the world where we could hire that KA as assistant. Not sure what happened w other KA at Liberty either. Kevin Smith we all loved here but I’m not sure Moon takes 2 assistants same year off McGeehan’s staff. If talking other ex Spiders look at Eugene Burroughs possibly. Pro & college experience. Also almost once hired by Mooney.
Not sure Burroughs is interested in the grind of being an NCAA assistant at this point...
Mooney and Kenny Atkinson? Water and Fire? I don’t see them getting along.
It’s of course reasonably commonplace to hire former players as assistants so I don’t get too sideways about this but I do think there’s significant merit to hiring a coach with a different pedigree and perspective.
Im looking for a complement to my weaknesses if I’m CM which in my view are a) recruiting and b) defense. Just my opinion.

How about this for a home run swing. Tony Dobbins. He has been on the Celtics staff the past two years as an assistant coach. And they have the best defense in the league - and I got to imagine he has a small part in that. Money might be an issue, but go ahead and make him highest assistant in league. I assume as bottom row assistant in NBA - he probably makes 100-200K a year. So swing big and offer him 300-400K. See what he says.

Graduate Assistant
after being part of a Finals run and maybe even a championship run I would imagine the job promotion he has in mind does not include sitting on Mooney's bench.
Agreed - that is where the money has to be BIG - for assistant. Pay him double what he makes on NBA bench. If he makes $150 - offer $300.
I know that would never happen - that is why I said home run, cause that is not what UR does.
Nice, cool graphic - a Spider getting a ring either way.
Bob Black just mused on Twitter asking whether Curtis Blair will be officiating. The answer to that is he's an alternate.

NBA announces referees for NBA Finals | NBA.com
A 16-person crew and 6 alternates have been selected for the 2022 NBA Finals.
That would have been great. But since he played with Atkinson, maybe a little (unconscious?) bias?
Ha, was thinking that earlier and checked - though i did not see he was on the alternate list. I missed one Celtics game earlier in the playoffs - and was informed by my sons Curtis had reffed it. Pretty cool he is moving up. Seems to do a very solid job. The best scene was when Lebron made his return to Cleveland, Curtis called an offensive foul on him that first game, and they had a stare down.
A moot point, but Izzo now has his man...
