Is Fred Hill, Jr considered a branch on the Jay Wright coaching tree? Who are some others? NJ-native Drew Kelly, head coach at Harcum College? No he was student manager under Steve Lappas.

OT: Jay Wright coaching tree
- Thread starter Mr_Twister
- Start date
Sort of an aside - Baker Dunleavy is rumored to have emerged as a favorite for the Stony Brook job. Maybe the tree gets another branch.
Tom Pecora- former HC at Fordham is a "dead" branch of the Jay Wright tree.
Dunleavy to SBU might make sense since they have not pulled the trigger on anyone else. Thought he might be headed to help dad at Tulane but maybe not. If he does leave does Brandon knight become a candidate at nova?
Billy Lang- Coached Navy, back to Nova, now assistant on the sixers
Joe Jones - head coach at Columbia, the assistant at BC, now head coach at BU
Ed Pinckney - after assistant at Nova, has been an NBA assistant in Minnesota, Chicago and Denver
Pat Chambers and Fred Hill mentioned above
Doug West - head coach Penn State Altoona
Curtis Sumpter and Jason Fraser - Both former players who are now both in the NBA (sixers and sun) as player personnel guys
Chris Walker - Associate head coach at Texas tech
Brett Gunning - assistant coach with the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic
Tom Peccora (at Hofstra- no Villanova) as mentioned above
The best future head coaching prospect on the current staff is Baker. He will likely leave Villlanova in the next few years to be the head coach of a low-mid their program. He will be the likely favorite to replace Jay Wright eventually.

Thanks Novahoop.....knew there had to be more.....you have filled in the blanks.
A friend tells me that Delaware is without an AD and the Athletics Dept is a mess. Both football and men's hoops have backslid in a major way. Football attendance is down drastically -- not too long ago Delaware was always near the top for football attendance at the Div-1AA level.
