UC Bearcats Coach Miller plus Thiam, Tillery, UCF’s Dawkins on UCF win
UC Bearcats Coach Miller plus Thiam, Tillery, UCF’s Dawkins on UCF win in Big 12 tournament in overtime
Former Cincinnati Bearcats great Nick Van Exel is under the impression UC’s next head coach will be Utah State’s Jerrod Calhoun, and Van Exel seems to be just fine with that.
“Calhoun is going to be great walking the sidelines at UC,” Van Exel tweeted after Calhoun’s Aggies defeated Villanova in the NCAA Tournament Round of 64. “Offense is great. Lots of ball/body movement and paint touches. And he gets the history of the program and understands that the UC vs x is a rivalry and not just another game.”
Calhoun was a student assistant under Bob Huggins at UC during the 2003–2004 season.
The Bearcats announced March 13 that they fired head coach Wes Miller less than five years after he was hired.
Van Exel reportedly had interest in 2019 in the Bearcats’ head-coaching vacancy. He was an assistant coach for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks from 2021 to 2023.
