No .... I believe this is a good hire.... he won at temple...then moved up to uconn... then has had some success at marquette.... in other words he is going up ... 

Oliver being an assistant for almost 30 years sinks ... somethings not right there.... plus the up and down worries me ...

I'm on record is saying I LOVE this hire .... 

Some success as an assistant does not guarantee success as a head coach.....here's to the future...

You might want the second option...lol....did I see Marquette fire their head mbb coach...no wonder Killing is available....

Dude ... you said the hire would be mid April.  I said this Friday... 

I don't see anywhere where it says he was fired .... 

Anyone who is an Albany fan needs to give this guy a chance.

We were never getting a guy without head coaching experience.  If you would have told me we are getting an assistant from the big east, I would have said he'll yeah.

Vic's dad was the AD at UConn when he was at UConn, all in the family.

Here's hoping he will do well. Last two programs (assuming Marquette) he was at the head coach got fired. That's a bit, eh. Hopefully he has some special magic he was hiding just for when he would be a head coach.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Like I said I'll go on record and be the first to love this hire.  Time will tell. 

But when we are winning a ton the next few years remember this post.  Hahaha ...

Agreed ..sorry for my initial reaction. I wish him nothing but the best of luck. Hopefully he can keep a few of the existing kids here like Kelley, Amica

Click it is all good we know how much you love the program.  I hope coach Killings (weird spelling another coaches name after 20 years) comes in hungry and does well.  Good luck Coach K

a first time coach who was an associate coach for a 13 win team. Fun times.

Yeah because these past three years have been realll fun times.
 

Clearly whoever he brought in wasn’t going to satisfy most of the posters on this board.

Yeah all in the family, sort of like hiring all your former players as assistants.

I love this hire.  Exactly what we need.  Young, known to be a great recruiter and has been at the highest levels. Not sure the offense he’s going to run but checks all the boxes.
