How did BOB’s first team meeting go ? Do we know any reactions from players ?

Interesting hire by Day.

Thanks to everyone who interacted and followed along with the pursuit throughout the week. As stressful as it was and as pissed as I am at Thamel and other national guys for not acknowledging the reporting, this was a crap ton of fun and why I chose to do this.

Anyways, it's official...

on WEEI at 11am this morning to talk BC football

TV: ESPN
Line: Duke -12.5
Kenpom: Duke 82-69
Do we need this win to make the NCAA:

Will bshay21 bet this?: Only because of the BoB hire.
Bshay21's bet: BC Moneyline/Scottie Scheffler to win in Scottsdale 35/1. Let's get it. Will forward half to FOH.

Told "both sides want it." Just a matter of getting it done at this point from everything I'm hearing.

Kemori Dixon: "Fresh out of basketball practice and just got the news. It’s kinda crazy tho but im going to discuss with my family and see what’s next from here."

Jayzen Flint: "Wow, I’m lost for words, I just seen the news about Coach Hafley leaving. As of right now I’m not sure on what I’m doing yet but I’m going to talk to my parents about everything."

Having trouble with a pick here.

Another thrilling lose by the WBB TEAM in front of 8000 empty seats. GO EAGLES GO AWAY

I don't know who needs to hear this but please don't "reply all" to an email with a few hundred people on it

Get him and Al at a coordinator level.

Was told to expect just one signing today, but will update throughout the afternoon if anything changes.

Just wanted to lay out the timeline of what I've heard and when regarding the coaching search. Hopefully this is all over soon so I can either look like a genius or the world's biggest a-hole

He just put this out a little while ago. Obviously, he knows BC well and I consider him the best in the business. I still trust my sources believe BOB is the next guy. I believe BC isn't fond of word getting out so quickly and easily, so they called final meetings with O'Brien "interviews" to throw people off the scent.

Also, in person interviews starting on Tuesday doesn't add up as I've heard BOB has been around since Friday. What the hell would they have been doing the last four days? I was told Friday he was the main target and ball was in BC's court Saturday night. So, either now there's a disagreement about who the guy should be and they really are going to talk to other candidates still, or they're just trying to get people off it until it's actually finalized.

Time will tell if I was lied to for four days or what!

He was sitting baseline in front of the media table on Tuesday night. Rich Thompson and I asked him who the next HC is and he jokingly said "I'm going to be the next head coach."

If (when) BOB takes the job, it's too late in the winter in my opinion to give him a whole new language offensively. Spring ball is in like a month and a half-ish. Find out what he likes best and let him run the show. I don't mean literally, obviously he'll have an OC, but my point is that might not be that far fetched of a statement on Castellanos' part the longer this drags out. I know this is all on Lahey's 'process' but the quicker the better for everyone involved if they want to seriously compete this season. It's going to be mid-to-late February by the time whoever the head coach ends up being (O'Brien) meets his team for the first time.
