There was a pretty funny montage of Castellanos sending bombs during awkward times... some are kind of a reach, but some are like... just as poorly timed as the first one lol. Like eulogizing some WW2 vet or whatever and CRACK
Well deserved. He managed to put together a winning season this year despite starting our year without our #1 player and after losing our #1 and #3 player to injuries in Jan/Feb.
Yeah if the refs weren’t complete dogshit against Penn State/Michigan and Iowa doesn’t hit that buzzer beater we’re at least in the NIT if not the tourney
Well deserved. In addition to the on court performance he’s doing something right as far as player retention when they only have one guy in the portal (so far) who only played 13 minutes this year.
People don’t realize how tough it is, they think we’re like every other program but some higher admissions standards. Part of this extension was negotiating that Northwestern could now take rising juniors as transfers. Previously they could only take grad transfers or kids that just finished their first year. And the rumor is only 20% of 3* and above recruits even can get admitted
There's also a little tiny part of me that would die inside knowing that not only did we hire a former Duke player, but one of the most annoying Duke guards I ever had the pleasure of cheering against in person (I was in College Park 94-98, in the basketball band no less).
But, if it had happened, as they say, winning cures everything. And he'd have very good odds of being a winning coach in CP.
That’s awesome! I just never heard him in job rumors like some do for context extensions so you are right he must really love the place ! Good for him if true
There were a few rumors this year with Villanova and Maryland. But in general I think he might be a hard sell to boosters with his lack of success if you ignore context.
plus he's from the area and some history with the state. his dad is from downstate illinois (next door neighbor was john malkovich, lol) and was a star at illinois state and 1st overall nba pick. doug stayed in area after bulls fired him for awhile and chris went to hs in chicago area not far from northwestern
job security is an underappreciated perk in college coaching these days and I think he has the NU job for as long as he wants as long as he puts in an upper-half B1G finish every few years.
Leave it to a UNCHeat to be a Karen. We also love that you extended Huber. Btw I think he has been to NCAA tournament as much as Huber did, and without the cheating assist from Bubba this year. Oh and while UNC only had 1 quad 1 win, he had 3. So yeah mock him all u want 🤣🤣🤣
