Will Coach Dan D’antoni

[bbneutralfan]

A. Remain as head men’s basketball coach for the 2024-2025 season?
B. Resign
C. Be fired/non-renewed etc?
D. Something else (and I don’t know what that would be).

A

He is in charge, not CS. He will remain in his fantasy camp retirement role for as long as he wants.

I hope you are wrong but I fear you are correct!

 

[RhinoD]

I think what everyone is hoping for, and what is probably in his best interest is -- D. Retirement.

The man is going on 77 years old... Go play golf, drink Mai Thai's at 10 a.m., dinner at 3:30, and enjoy life on the beach.

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

A. UGH!

Sams wrong a lot and I'm betting this is another time.

Sam, you going to opener in the stadium that isn't being built?

Stick to television and eer bashing, you are good at those and I enjoy your insight.

 

[MU PIKE]

He will be gone, don’t care which way but he will not be back. You can see it in his press conferences, he has given up.

Did you go to the other 50 announced baseball stadium openings over the past many decades?

Who was wrong the most, again?

He's not attending until he sees the permits 🤣

Dan is like the guy in Office Space, he hasn’t quit but he’s not exactly working either.

You been missing work a lot recently. I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve been missing it, Bob.

As for D., let's ALL hope that D'Antoni gets hit squarely and solidly by the Pickleball "craze", and quickly at season's end puts "Coaching" permanently in the rear-view mirror!

Will Coach Dan D’Antoni:
Pick Andrew Taylor up on waivers?

Which is greater, number of bad shots Andy jacked up or careless turnovers he generated?

I am thinking that Dan's family will encourage him to retire, especially if he loses the first game in the tournament on Thursday. Surely Mike and his sister feel a sense of responsiblility to make the case to Dan. He has to know that his days are past, and the chances of winning big again are very slim.

...I think the chances of Dan being on the sunny side of .500 are very slim.

I know that Mike has encouraged him to retire. This from family member who played golf with him last October at the Greenbrier.

Dan mentioned that Mike was talking to him about retiring in one of the pre season interviews.
But Dan said he felt great after getting surgery that was limiting him to walk (can't remember if it was hip or knee replacement) and he mentioned that he had been fighting long term covid complications and he was finally feeling better.
In his voice then and now, he doesn't sound like he has any intention of retiring soon.

I believe both knees…

While I respect his history with Marshall and the contributions both he and Mike have made … it’s time for a change. There’s no excitement anymore and little to look forward to … he has “lost Huntington” .. reminds me of how Huff lost Huntington when (if the rumors were correct) he expressed interest in another job before the first game of his first season here.

 

[herdfan06]

Looks like he is on the verge of scoring a raise and four year contract extension.

Oh. Crap.

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Frankly, we won't be looking for a new coach until the 26-27 season. jmho

Our only hope is that he wants to be done... And doesn't want to hold the MU record for most losses in a career.
