Given the majority of names that were floated this is a decent hire.

It is a great hire for Depaul considering where they have been.


It's in keeping with hires like Wainwright and Purnell, a guy who is over the age of 50 and who previously took a team to the NCAA Tournament. Those other two promptly failed at DePaul (although Wainwright did go to the NIT) and I expect failure out of this new guy as well.

I would have liked to see them hire an assistant at a good program that's under the age of 40. They haven't really done that since the first Leitao hire.


Not comparable. Wainwright was a total clown.


Wainwright had more success than any of the guys who followed him.


Knew someone who worked in the athletic dept. during the Wainwright era. He phoned it in and cashed the checks.

Bryan Mullins is a great add as an assistant.

SIU is going to rue the day their AD fired him.

He never leaves if Mullins is still the coach.

He's a good kid. I hope that he does well.

His dad runs one of the best AAU programs in the state. Natural pipeline to good players which DePaul so sorely needs.

Really good defensive coach.

Develops talent well, see key players for both Purdue, (Jones,) and U of I, (Domask.) It's almost impossible for a school like SIU to compete with NIL money.

Good info, thanks.

It’s NIU, so it should read fewest 1st-half points scored.

Edit: I suppose it’s possible it’s not the fewest for NIU.

my youngest went to ND basketball camps when he was a kid and D'Amico was one of the instructors. They struck up a bit of a friendship and still occasionally interact on social media
