Here are five guys I think Boston should look into to replace Dennis Wolff (even though I am not a fan):
1) Robert Burke, Georgetown - Has been an assistant for John Thompson III since 2005. The guy knows how to work with schools of size, academics and near the northeast. He has been an assistant for Georgia Tech, Princeton, Siena and Loyola Marymount. With the season Georgetown is coming off of, this maybe the prime time to snag this top assistant. However, this season may have also hurt his stock?
2) Steve DeMeo, UCF - The man is considered one of the best recruiters in the nation. He is a New York native that spent 10 years at Providence, four as associate head coach. The man has coached on the community college level in NY (Bronx CC) and knows the northeast. Recruitment is the name of the game with him.
3) Andre LaFleur, UConn - Has been at UConn since entering college basketball in 2001. Maybe one of the fastest rising assistant coaches in major college basketball. While he has only been an assistant for five years, when Jim Calhoun is your teacher, you can move up the ladder quick. However, would BU fans really like the idea of a Northeastern graduate coaching their team?
4) Eric Eaton, Quinnipiac - A longshot. You have to throw them in! The man however knows America East Basketball. He also knows the state of Massachusetts and its basketball. An assistant at Holy Cross, Assumption College, Anna Maria College and a volunteer assistant at UMass-Dartmouth. However, his strides came at UA. He was a strong on recruiting and player development. Could be worth a look...but still a longshot.
5. T.J. Sorrentine, Brown - Come on! You know I had to throw it out there. Obviously a few years away, but if the next BU coach doesn't work out, I think he should be given a call. The man knows America East basketball. That and it would piss off a few folks up north.
