WOJ BOMB, Apparently Damon Stoudamire, Pacific coach, is rumored to be a target to be on the Boston Celtics coaching staff…

That would hurt Pacific … a lot. He’s done a good job

Yes, I was going to comment on the earlier post and how Portland has really revamped their roster, which is great for the conference, but if Stoudamire left Pacific that would be one step forward and two steps back in terms of those two programs. The conference is better when everyone is solid.
As for the job Stoudamire is doing at Pacific, it is amazing. I mean, have you ever been to Stockton?! Kudos to him.

A sign that Damon is leaving?

More of a sign that he didn't have the grades to get into Pacific.

Too bad for Pacific. I don’t know the new HC, but Damon was doing a great job there in Stockton

Good opportunity for Damon. He did good things at Pacific. It's a big loss for the WCC and Pacific.

Yes - this is a loss for the WCC. We should see soon if any recruits decide to transfer out of the program. Presumably, promoting the Associate Head Coach may be a move to keep the top recruits in addition to having a capable Head Coach.

Yes, this is very late for a college to hire a new coach from the outside. Smart move by them to quickly hire the associate head coach and do what they can to keep everyone together, and probably the same system, at this point.

Those early Raptors teams were fun to watch. Mighty Mouse and Camby made a good squad.
I’m not surprised to see Stoudamire make the jump. He sees Walton (his colleague at Memphis) still working despite struggling, and jobs for Chauncey, Kidd and Nash means job for his generation. Although I will say that if he goes through the head coach hiring process one day, they’ll bring up his history as a “Jail Blazer” in a way that was ignored in Stockton.

That Jailblazers crap means nothing through the lens of today. Racist slurs slung by Oregon’s all white media. No one cares about pot anymore. I’m excited he’s being brought in to make Payton Pritchard an assassin.
