Re: Let's Talk '27
I love playing Duke semi-regularly now that Coach K is gone.

Re: Let's Talk '27
Tommy's view on scheduling is very different than most coaches. Doesn't mind a L if there is growth. I expect a difficult OOC every year even in the new conference.

Re: Let's Talk '27
Read somewhere that JG wasn't happy with the current situation on the bench that he was passed over.

Have to think Robinson might be close to retirement so maybe that is Gardners chance to be elevated. We definitely need a lead dog recruiter IMO

Re: Let's Talk '27
Don’t know if I’m reading anything into this but I never seem to see JG looking very energetic or engaged on the sidelines compared to all the other assistant coachesMerkin wrote: Sat Feb 01, 2025 12:55 am Read somewhere that JG wasn't happy with the current situation on the bench that he was passed over.
Re: Let's Talk '27
Not sure how much he is allowed to coach. I think the NCAA Has some quirky rules about his position on staff

Re: Let's Talk '27
This is correct. He’s not allowed to coach in game. So that’s why we don’t see him talk.azcat49 wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 9:55 am Not sure how much he is allowed to coach. I think the NCAA Has some quirky rules about his position on staff
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Let's Talk '27
What is his position? I thought he was a typical assistant coach
Re: Let's Talk '27
He’s Player Relations Director I believe, so not a full assistant.Alieberman wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:58 amWhat is his position? I thought he was a typical assistant coach

You guys are really missing the best part of that article.
From Branch on his visit to ASU: "It was a really fun visit. I brought my mom and little brother and we got to watch a game. I wanted to meet Coach after the game but he was screaming and being very passionate after their loss. I liked that because it shows he really cares."
