Congratulations coach on being named to Pitt HOF
Congratulations to Brandon. He is an extremely hard worker for RU and was an outstanding player at Seton Hall Prep and Pittsburgh. He is one of the main reasons that we have made such outstanding improvements in our program. He is such a fine example for our program and is 100 % in on our guys.
He'll be a heckuva head coach somewhere in the near future.
Agreed, but just hope it's not too near future for our own selfish reasons.
I’m old enough to have seen his Dad, Mel, play high school ball. It’s quite a talented family.
Brandin made 300k in his first year as an assistant at RU. Jay Young made 230k in his first year as the HC at Fairfield.
I’m sure Brandin would like to be a HC but he’s not going to jump at the first job offered to him.

If we can just hold on to him until about 2035. Coach Pike will be 67 then and can move into the AD spot. :):Pray: :Praying::Basketball: :Hoops:
Wouldn't be surprised but I think Willard is pretty solid @shu in the upper-tier of BE now. I could see a good ACC or even Big10 program lure him away. Shaheen Holloway looks like a probable shu HC in the future.
I am a Pitt graduate, and although I had already moved to NJ when Knight played for Pitt, I watched every televised Pitt game for Knights 4 years. Not only was he an incredibly talented player, but a great leader who played with his heart every game. I’m not surprised at all he is a good coach, and Rutgers is lucky to have him. Congratulations Coach Knight.
I don’t....in a way. Only because of what losing him probably meant.
Fair enough... which also would make Rutgers an even more attractive job for the next up and coming coach
Brandin has a competitive mean streak.
He’s the coach who gets into players faces and challenges them.
Every team needs one, he’s ours

It helps when that guy was an All American - tends to fall on deaf ears or taken personally less often.
You can also tell that he's very frustrated that he actually tweeted at that guy. Putting a crook like Wade on there is a freaking joke. Maybe that set him off too. Not only the players lost a big opportunity with the tournament being cancelled but a coach like Knight lost that opportunity to be talked about and recognized in March.
Motivation for him to stick around
I am sure Pitt regrets not hiring him after Dixon. Jamie Dixon was a great regular season coach. Pitt had some really good and tough teams . Knight would have been a seamless transition there.
He will get his shot sonwhere
