I hope Capel tries to get BK to follow him here. Don't know if he would be interested, but if he is, it would be a good hire for him. It also would help with the alumni, who much respect him.
Thought about the staff
- Thread starter GT74
- Start date
what chair is BK at RU? Maybe he'd only come back to Pitt for the 1st chair or AHC? Is he worth that much?
For what? Let the man create his own staff and move on from the Dixon regime.
I'd like to see an experienced AHC as an Xs and Os guy, 1 great, proven recruiter, and a young up coming coach with great ties and upside. BK doesn't qualify for any of those. I don't think it matters at all what guys like Fields and Brown think of our assistant coaches.
I am not opposed to BK being back, but Capel has to be comfortable building his own staff and forming his own vision for the roster and program.
Need to do much better than Knight. Great player but at best mediocre as a coach. He was one of the reasons the program was sputtering. No thanks.
Are you guys sure about those harsh assessments of B-Knight or is that just perception? I mean I know you are the BS detectors.
I don’t think you guys have any idea of what kind of coach Knight is and how he will be able to recruit with a different head coach.
They need to clean house of all Stallings assistants for sure.And that includes Richards.It's time for a fresh start all the way around.
If Dixon thought he added value, he'd be living in podunk texas right now. He isn't.
You may very well be right. Brandin could have been getting Pitt in the door with a lot of prospects who Jamie simply couldn't close. Of former Pitt assistants, I'd still prefer Mike Rice, though.
Because he doesn’t recruit Texas, he adds no value. How is this a hard concept?
I can see how it’s going at Rutgers.
and he’s a second assistant.
I’m cool with him in that role.
Rather have David Cox
I'd attribute that more to Pikiell than Knight, but I'm definitely not suggesting that Knight should be first chair. He doesn't have the resume for that. Still wouldn't have an issue with him being part of the staff.
I am not sure why this type of thing keeps coming up. HCJC needs to put the very best staff he can for his own success. He is being paid in part to use his experiences in a top program to bring in a well developed staff. BK needs to follow his own path to coaching success, if he does and is a success he will have ample opportunity to work in the ACC and likely for Pitt, IMO.
I have no idea how good a coach BK is and neither do any of you.
So with that.....I hope a guy (BK) that meant to a lot to our program has continued success, and HCJC puts together his staff as he sees fit. If those paths intersect, than so be it

Sure, but he didn't produce much at Pitt and hasn't been a hot commodity since. Capel should hire whomever he wants, but if Knight was a great Rutgers or Syracuse or SJU (instead of Pitt) player no one here would even think about him, let alone pine for him.
Exactly...This BK talk is getting old...BK has NOT done anything to distinguish himself as a coach in D1 BBL ...enough with the sentimental bla..bla ..bla.. The JD years are OVER!!!
Right. I don't get the sentiment behind the "former Pitt players would love it if Pitt rehired BK" shit that has been posted today. Who cares? I doubt Adams cares and he's the only relevant hoops alumn with worthwhile coin to his name. If mouth-breather, Joe Schmo, the yinzer cares, who gives a turkey dick? That guy doesn't move the needle. Really, no offense, but who cares what Julius Page thinks?
I agree with this. I HCJC wants him, that's good enough for me.
But in all, I'd rather kind of move on from all connections to the past and start fresh.
Yep - Jeff Capel's show now. I'll trust in his decisions until he proves unworthy.
