A few false hoops rumors I want to squelch.

The Y's Insider

May 8, 12:33pm

I'm surprised Dunson wasn't a first choice. It was announced very early on that

Mostlyaccurate

May 8, 12:40pm

Dunson basically said in an interview that

That just tells us that KY's been more on top of this than fans realize.

BlueFever

Makes me wonder who the first-choice assistant was

May 8, 12:40pm

Greg Popovich

Ron Mexico

May 8, 12:44pm

I was going to guess Coach K

thewaterboy

May 8, 12:45pm

No idea

PJMort

May 8, 12:44pm

The answer is always Andy Reid.

Rumor was a bigger NBA name

I'mBatman

May 8, 1:15pm

Phil Jackson

NacoCoug

May 8, 1:22pm

Probably Alex Jensen

Mabuhay Coug

May 8, 4:32pm

This would be my guess.

Soupie

May 8, 10:00pm

Intrigued by #4, relieved by #5.

gangbusters

May 8, 12:41pm

Except we still lost Aly to Louisville

thewaterboy

May 8, 12:43pm

Yes, true.

gangbusters

May 8, 12:44pm

Except Aly is not playing next year, so no 2025 loss. Louisville paid $600K + 2 scholarship yrs for 1 year of play. Good

Dunson met with Coach Young the very night Coach was hired. He HAD to be among the top few candidates. And, because

CalGTR

May 8, 12:44pm

Sounds like you're starting new rumors: 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Benfica1

May 8, 12:45pm

Seems I've heard plenty of contrarian opins to all his takes — right here on CB.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 12:50pm

haha it's what I love best about CB

icecougar

May 8, 4:02pm

Tis true.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 4:07pm

Pretty close sources to me dispute 3&4. And 1 is semantics.

TheWanderer

May 8, 12:46pm

Could be that "household name" is a former NBA player looking to launch a coaching career. Just a guess.

CalGTR

May 8, 12:49pm

I’m trying to think of a well known NBA player with leverage to ask for $$$$$

TheWanderer

May 8, 1:12pm

Recruiting bump alone for some of these cats would be worth a few $$

CalGTR

May 8, 1:18pm

It was....Karl Malone!

JupiterJones

May 8, 1:42pm

I concur on #1. Semantics and who cares anyway?

OldFogey

May 8, 2:01pm

Actually I’d say college is that way too. Offers aren’t officially made until

ColonelMustard

May 9, 2:15pm

#3 was Chris Paul, for those not in the know.

Kdubb

May 8, 12:49pm

Chris has a $50million contract for next season. Hard to believe he would have left that on the table.

CalGTR

May 8, 12:50pm

There was talk of a buy-out & retirement, though — wasn't there?

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 12:52pm

BYU couldn't quite come up with the $50M+ to bring CP3 to Provo

thewaterboy

May 8, 12:56pm

Yeah, that's not QUITE what I meant. Ha.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 1:00pm

Only about half of that is guarnteed and it's possible the Warriors want to

Mostlyaccurate

May 8, 12:53pm

Huh? Why is his contract not like every other NBA contract and fully guaranteed?

kimdaddy35

May 8, 2:10pm

Because he's old.

Mostlyaccurate

May 8, 2:15pm

Sorry I should clarify this is tongue-in-cheek.

Kdubb

May 8, 12:53pm

pretty surprised people took you seriously. lol

I mean, you can if you want. Or don't.

Did you not read the board name?

Looks like a battle of the insiders, given the other insiders who seem to be

basman

May 8, 12:53pm

Robbie McCombs is the very best as it relates to basketball.

The Y's Insider

May 8, 12:57pm

And your less connected status somehow enables you to "know" these things?:)

basman

May 8, 1:16pm

Nah, he's right about Burgess. You're not. You don't have the insider info he

RockyBalboa

May 8, 1:27pm

I have the better source on this one.

The Y's Insider

May 8, 1:31pm

No you don't.

RockyBalboa

May 8, 1:37pm

I believe he did get a big pay raise.

dodgersjazzcougs

May 9, 6:00am

I have heard something similar from good sources.

Cougstreak

May 9, 8:16am

Robbie's well-connected, but not the best at reading the overall map. A LOT of bull

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 1:49pm

He got a nice raise.

RockyBalboa

May 8, 2:10pm

You really sure about that?

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 2:13pm

Believe factually incorrect information if you want. Enjoy your day.

RockyBalboa

May 8, 2:23pm

Iows, you don't know any better than I.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 2:29pm

Far from big raise. And not even close to “huge”.

The Y's Insider

May 8, 3:44pm

You look foolish doubling down when you have ZERO legit info on it.

RockyBalboa

May 9, 7:05am

He's violating the first rule of holes...

Adrielle

May 9, 8:05am

Exactly. Half of the stuff this guy just said is wrong.

Frankfromtheballpark

May 8, 2:02pm

Y is absolutely right about Burgess. McCombs is not. I know this for 100% fact.

CougarMomNotLikeThat

No you don't.

If the coach gets fired so are the assistants. Puts you in a bad spot for a

That doesn't sound "desperate" to me.

Acorn

May 9, 6:07am

If #5 is true, then what about Aly and AAA?

OnlyRoyal

May 8, 1:21pm

Aly could've wanted to stay w the team — yet also wanted a more secure Staff w a solid NIL deal.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 1:33pm

Does Louisville know that Aly is gonna be worthless during the NCAA...

COACHdrn

May 8, 4:16pm

If they're still under the NCAA ban, that might work perfectly for them.

SinkingQuffa

May 8, 5:10pm

He's never been formally offered an NBA HC position.

slatecoug

May 8, 1:21pm

Hilarious you put number one down. I guess you don’t think everyone on cougar board watch the same interview you did

Blue2thebone

May 8, 1:37pm

You lost me at "quelch" which is not a word.

Elvis

Which ones, asking for a friend.

Blue2thebone

May 8, 1:45pm

Not true. It is a word. See Link. In this case, means to rile CB grammar Nazis.

Excellent combination of quell and squelch. Similar to threeve

SoBlueitHurts

May 8, 1:52pm

He could have just quashed the rumors. But he may have said he would squash them.

And ended up foundering and floundering. Too bad he changed it

May 8, 8:57pm

Big time household name as an assistant coach? Doesn't seem likely.

JuicyJam

No he didn’t turn down the nets because he backed out before it got to that

ColonelMustard

May 8, 9:25pm

Good info. 3 is interesting to me! Can you expound?

Love Cougs

May 8, 9:29pm

KY might have not had an official offer. But had all but an offer. Job was his had he wanted it. We know how this works.
