Will be interesting to see how the players finish out playing for their fired coach.

Chattanooga fans were glad to lose McCall. They got an upgrade when he left. The Mocs are the best team in the SoCon this year.

Bring DP back to New England!!!

They are just getting rid of a dude who can’t recruit or coach. Not sure why they would bring one in.

We can always hope though

We can joke about it but no chance of Paulsen going to Umass. No chance of Hewitt going either.

Vermont has been a really good team for quite awhile in the America East Conference... some interesting names being bandied about though to replace McCall

"Potential names expected to be involved in UMass' coaching search include Vermont's John Becker, Missouri State's Dana Ford, Wagner's Bashir Mason, Yale's James Jones, Bryant's Jared Grasso and former Indiana coach Archie Miller."

UMass fires McCall; will stay until end of season

The UMass Minutemen will move on from men's basketball coach Matt McCall at the end of the season, the school announced Tuesday.

Someone suggested Matt Brady on twitter to umass.

Yes please.

And while making shit up, why not Blaine Taylor or Bruiser Flint.

Although to be fair, Bruiser had success at Umass in the late 90s and Blaine is actually an assistant at UC Irvine for former future Mason HC of 2015 Russell Turner

Bashir Mason, Grasso or Shaheen Holloway would be my picks. I think Becker is a Vermont lifer and I’m not sure his old school nature is good for a program like that

Holloway gives other teams in the MAAC fits. They have a good record and my understanding is they are super physical tough and just overall pain in the a**.

Selfishly hope they don’t hire Holloway, he would recruit his a** off at UMass and make them relevant very quickly. Excellent coach — I liked him for the Mason job until a guy named Kim English popped up on our radar.

Thats why we need to go to the umasshoops forum and talk about quality coaches like Matt Brady, Pat Kennedy and Tom Crean

Honestly I think Crean woud do well at the A10 or lower away from the pressures of a big 6 school.

The thing is the last two Power 5 stops hes had hes severely under .500 in conference so its not even like his teams are competitive. Add to the fact that while the A10 or a lower league might be better for him, his record doesn't indicate even medicority that could translate. I don't think anyone would want him at this point.
