He cleaned up quite a mess at Seton Hall created by Bobby Gonzalez, so maybe he is the cleaner for Antigua? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember something about Pitino pushing a coach for USF. Was that when we got Stan or when we got Masiello/Antigua? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when we hired McCollum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willard looked into the Holy Cross job last year, so he is definitely looking for a good landing spot. He knows a lot of the Antigua recruits as he was looking at them when Antigua was at Seton Hall, so he has some familiarity. Willard is a great defensive coach, and hopefully USF can pull this off. Much better than what we have been getting lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so there's no confusion, the Willard Mike's referring to is Kevin Willard's father, who is the associate head coach at Louisville ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
