DeLuca has it made in the shade with the Hens.jrn19 wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 11:08 amMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 10:57 am This may have been answered before, some pages back, but what coach was available who projects to be significantly superior to Breschi?
We were not surprised by Tillman, it was pretty darn clear that he was going to take Harvard to the top of the Ivies had he stayed, and the jump to UMD was a coup for them and him. Likewise, when Shea turned UVA down, Tiffany was clearly ascendant in the Ivies and nationally and brought his whole staff with him, an obvious fit for the situation.
Who really projects the way either of those guys did?
From a practical perspective, who is perhaps available in 3 years?
I'm not sure what his level of comfortability is at Delaware, but Ben DeLuca has been to the tournament 4 times in 8 years as a coach and has 1 Final Four, 2 Quarterfinals (one as a 2 seed, one upsetting a 2 seed), and nearly beat the #1 seed in the other. He took Delaware from being the cellar dweller of the CAA to dominating the conference and competing for 60 mins with the best teams in the tournament in the span of 3 years and he has successful experience at a big program from his time at Cornell.
Less than zero reason to leave Newark in the near future.
Lots of tremendous recruits coming in.
Well paid I’m sure.
Eventually, the honeymoon ends,
but until then …
