Bwillie came with the message board. It's a module AustinChief, DaFace and company added to drive content.

Here's the code design:

I don't know man. Bwillie is pretty in the know about the KU basketball program. Not sure what Self would know about this.

Kinda feels like a no brainer. Get it done. Hand over the keys.

Thats why I don't exactly believe the report

[Kiimo]

Jacque is way over-qualified for just an assistant coach position so I'm thinking there is a lot of validity to the rumor. He'd be coach in waiting. I mean, it did work out for Duke I guess

[KC_Connection]

Hard to have much of an opinion on Vaughn as a coach at a program like KU without any college head coaching experience.

He did have that Brooklyn Nets team playing hard for that one season after he replaced Nash though.

[Kiimo]

Yeah and his head coaching positions in the NBA were problematic organizations for reasons that didn't have to do with him. He's smart and experienced. I don't hate it at all.

[ChiefsFanatic]

I always hoped that Frank Mason would find his way to the coaching staff

He's only 31 years old. Give him 10-15 years, and who knows, maybe he'll be filling Vaughn's shoes when it's his time to step aside...

Yeah but aren’t you always wrong?

It is not a rumor. I know it first hand unless JV's brother-in-law is lying.

Again, it was a Sunday trip to Phoenix and a feeling-it-out discussion about a bench position and head coach in-waiting designation. Not exactly an offer from KU, but a hey what would you think of this type of deal.
