Will Conroy needs to go elsewhere and get mentored. People do realize he's been involved with this debacle through two failed head coaches, right? At what point does he lose the immunity idol?

If he's serious about being a coach, get on a staff somewhere else and outside the echo chamber of the Garfield/UW/Seattle AAU echo chamber.

Dick suckers like @JimBasnight have created this urban myth Conroy is irreplaceable or some magic key to the Seattle riches.

Fuck off, Jim.

There was exactly one P5 program that would have hired Conroy as a Asst. Coach first time out of the box, and had he not went to UW we wouldn't have either.

Can make same case for Qunicy as well.

I don't have a huge problem with giving a former 5 star recruit who spent 9 years in the league and made over $20 million a shot at an assistant coaching gig. It just has to be exactly that - a shot. Show what you can do, develop quickly, or move on.

Giving a local hero like Conroy a shot wasn't terrible either. Keeping him after accomplishing nothing in his eight years or whatever is malpractice.

Q-Pon was a 5-star???

Pondexter was born on March 10, 1988 in Fresno, California. As a high school senior, Pondexter was a highly sought after recruit, rated five stars and the 16th best prospect in the 2006 class by Scout.com.[2] Pondexter eventually signed a letter-of-intent with the University of Washington, over scholarship offers from Arizona, Connecticut, and Memphis.[3] Washington's 2006 recruiting class of Pondexter, Spencer Hawes, Adrian Oliver, and Phil Nelson was rated amongst the top in the country. They were ranked sixth overall by Scout.com,[4] and eighth overall by Rivals.com.[5]

Played on the same HS team as the Lopez Twins

Pretty sad how out of touch this guy is. Someone lock him in a home or something.

The only way Conroy or QPon are valuable at this point is recruiting. Conroy hasn’t done very well at it.

I thinkni read somewhere that QPon has become a big name in the California AAU circuit so I'll give him a chance there. Conroy is worthless. The only reason he was hired is to keep local guys home. The only reason local guys have come to UW the last few years is if they go somewhere else first, suck ass, and then for some reason weet them come back here

Kim, you're not my editor or my publisher. I'll style my posts the way I want. You run your site with sock puppets running around slandering me for coming up on two decades. Why do you have to come here and manipulate everything on this site, like you do on your private spin factory, as you kiss up to Cohen and her yes men.

Nothing’s changed with Me. Other than one good run. UW B-ball has been a shitshow since Harshman.
