I am laughing writing this and I hope its not annoying but I know Fizdale from San Diego. Such a good dude. Best personality, easy to see why players like him. I have no clue if he has changed though, money and fame does that. But he was an assistant coach at USD, and we coached camps together each summer. Easiest guy to talk to, great coach, if I was him I'd take all that NBA money he got from two failed jobs, wait for USD to open up, and have an incredible job in one of the best cities in America with zero stress

Actually he might be a good coach for CJ.

In Orlando?

Rumor: Trail Blazers owner Jody Allen interested in Becky Hammon as coach

Bad title, the article literally says nothing.

Inside track to keeping Norman Powell too then.

Fiz seems like a great guy to have.....as an assistant. Everyone in Miami loved him and unequivocally vouched for him to be in a head coaching position, but I think he was in over his head as the top guy.

I like the idea of having a former HC as an assistant to someone who hasn't been a HC.

At this point, if it was Becky I think they would have announced it.

I think it's Billups or another coach who's still in the playoffs.

 

[crandc]

So the real question is - where is this smoke coming from?

I think someone is hitting the weed hard, based on some of what I see here.

Someone has to leak those reports. So who is doing it?

[Natebishop3]

Who else is still in the playoffs besides Billups that we would want to look at?

Bud?

Either that or Neil and Jody are feuding?

Probably not a great career move to "feud" with the person who writes your check.

 

[HailBlazers]

Coached them like high school kids? Purposely pushes players to the edge?

Hard pass.

Your soft bro.

coaching college basketball is anything but zero stress

It's supposed to calm the nerves, but it doesn't seem to be working around here

That's what SHE said.

Oh, wait.....

I trust you more than I trust any sports writer.

I'm so confused....

 

[calvin natt]

Coaching USD where they have zero expectations and you are in the opposite of a basketball city where no one cares, vs being the head coach of the New York Knicks?

 

[BBert]

Leaky McLeakerston.

Olshey seems like the kind of totalitarian who would have someone's head on a stick if they leaked something he didn't want leaked.

Generally, I assume most leakers leak leaks for a reason.

Or maybe they just like fucking with us?

they might not be able to announce it but I expect a resolution by the end of the weekend. I don’t think they need to wait until Billups is out of the playoffs to agree to a deal.

there’s a bit of a difference in salary though. It’s USD, not Kentucky.

[illmatic99]

Surprised there hasn't been an announcement yet. Even if it were Billups, they can do that before his team gets eliminated.

Thought it would come today.

I think he got like 25M from the Knicks to just go away after being fired. Not to mention whatever he got in Memphis. He worked I think for the Knicks for one year, got paid, and could go to USD, make $450k and live very nicely in La Jolla. Yes please.

Maybe if he didn’t have any competitiveness in him. I don’t think there’s any coach that would pass up the NBA for college unless they were at a major program, or 78 years old.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Recruiting fûcking sucks. That’s the issue with college, in my opinion.

They can announce Billips before his team gets eliminated? I didn't know that. This makes me Believe more maybe there is feuding going on in the Blazers front office?

I am not saying he would do this, I am saying i would do it 10/10 times. If I was given $25M to leave a job and still wanted to work for some godforsaken reason, I would rather coach USD and live in SD than be an assistant in the NBA, travel like they do, and live in some new city that I may not like. Again, thats just me. These guys are different though.
