D'antoni leaving Phoenix for UK?

[Bandit29]

Tubby will be there for at least another year. I'm waiting for the "vote of confidence".

Who is D'anton

 

 

Not much of a basketball fan are we.....

 

He is the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, and his team has a run n' gun style offense that makes the one UK used under Pitino like for lack of a better term, "Tubby ball".

Don't tease us.. thats cruel

[ColonelNation32]

I am a College Basketball fan but I really dont watch the NBA

[Hangman]

That'd be cool... Improbable, but cool.

....:scared: Well known at UK, Marshall and Phoenix.

What is the connection to UK? I know he played basketball at Marshall, but other than that what is his connection to the college level?

[Bandit29]

This would be interesting. But, the "best job in the country"? Its a great job, but the fans are ruthless.

Don't tease me. Let me know when you have some facts...

This would revive UK nation, D'Antoni is a great coach and I love his style. I would love to see this and I'm not even a UK fan.

So people will be happy when we give up 85-90 a game and end up lossing early in the tourney like the Suns do every year because they can't play any D. But who cares it will be exciting to watch.

We could settle for losing 3 of 4 in the SEC with a team that is about as exciting as watching paint dry! It's OK though because we are all just bashers. No reason to be upset that KY has lowered their standards.

 

Give me a team that scores that much everyday! News flash.... when you score like that YOU GET ATHLETES!!!!!! Jimmy's and Joe's ya know!

 

Let's see boring lazy team that loses or fast paced athletes that have a shot at winning or losing......

It would be a huge hire, but one with a lot of risk involved. Bring in the wrong PG and it's struggle city in that system. Would be very interesting...

I think it would be an amazing hire. IMO PG's would be lining up to play for him.

Of course they would. Very few fit and that's my point...

[BoondockSaint]

^I think that he would be just the guy to be able to spot that special one.
