Keno out at Providence

[Panther789]

Any chance he ends up back in the MVC?

Re: Keno out at Providence

I would think Bradley would take a good hard look at both he and Lickliter, even though both would be terrible hires, imo...

Re: Keno out at Providence

keno is a much much better hire than todd. the kids loved playing for keno and he has an actual personality that fans can get behind. after the hot head of jim les i could see both being possible options but i doubt anyone wants to watch the licklighter system, especially a school close to chicago that can get athletes who can move faster than john licklighter

Re: Keno out at Providence

Nothing personal against Keno but him failing at a Big 6 helps keep those schools away from Jake, which makes me happy.

Keno had one good year and parlayed it into a paycheck. Good for him but I don't think he can be considered to have a "track record" for winning of any kind in the MVC or anywhere else.

Re: Keno out at Providence

lickliter had some transfer issues but there are plenty of kids at iowa who loved him and were upset to see him go. decent players too, may, payne, larson, brust, marble.

the style of play is another argument. we dont see UNI kids leaving because we play slow.

UNI has always played slow since Mac got here. Bradley has run a faster system.

Re: Keno out at Providence

my point was that lick's style came under fire because iowa sucked, not because it was slow.

very true.

Re: Keno out at Providence

I think Keno could turn Bradley into a power with their access to athletic talen and his style of play.

Re: Keno out at Providence

I'd consider giving Keno a hot.

Lickliter has got a long road ahead in trying to convince an AD to embrace that system. Players don't like it, fans don't like it, and it didn't win the last time he tried it. Tough sell.

Re: Keno out at Providence

there are athletes in Peoria so it would be a good situation for Keno. When at UNI, you have to go 4 hrs away to the big cities to find them.

But it worked/is working at Butler.
Recent NATIONAL coach of the year.

No personality (made Eldon Miller look colorful!) but seemed to be a solid person.
What Iowa wanted after Alford.

I thought he had NO luck at Iowa with injuries.
Took a hit with transfers that was not seen when Fran came. That may say something. Wish Iowa would have stayed with him longer - better for us.

I agree about Keno - smart enough to get paid (remind you of anyone else?). I don't see him getting a HC job again right away. Neither guy sounds right at BU.
