Umass to hite Matt McCall from UTC

After the Kelsey situation, it looks like Umass is going to hire Matt McCall from UTC.  I am super happy we have Dambrot instead.  I wonder who Dayton will bring in next?

Rumors were Anthony Grant was the front runner for Dayton as of last night but as we just went through, who knows really? John Brannen of N. Kentucky was another name I saw along with John Groce.

I've also seen Whitford from Ball State. I must be missing something, but of all the guys we were linked to that was by far my last choice for coach here. It feels good to get a good coach and prove some people wrong and end the circus.

Two coaches turned down Georgetown in the last two days.  It ISN'T a Duquesne thing, but the small minded sports and newspaper community can't understand that.  Got that Zeise and friends!

Georgetown really thought they were getting Mike Brey or Shaka Smart

Kelsey was one of the guys I liked for the Dukes opening. I wonder if UMass fans are disappointed w/ McCall?  What a whirlwind these past couple of weeks have been for A-10 teams searching for new coaches. I like the one we got though. Helluva resume.

I honestly think (barring a massive homerun like Tom Crean for Dayton) that Duquesne will have made the best hire in the A10 at the end of this madness.

Dayton Hires Anthony Grant.    Good Hire.  He was one of the top candidates for me to come here.  Dayton Alum.

Re: Umass to hite Matt McCall from UTC

I think it is a good hire as well. Seems like there is some blow back from the fans on hiring him but the expectations were possibly too high anyways. I think they could've done much worse considering some of the names floated out there for the job. Hiring a few of those names I believe would have been Stallings to pitt meltdown hilarity (Which would have been glorious).

duq81 had recommended Grant. Definitely a good hire, as is McCall. I think all of the reports of the demise of the A10 are premature.
