San Diego 2022 Thread claiming it’s Alfee Reft Haterade called it on this thread 27 hours ago. I saw that. Just thought the comment was largely ignored so was pointing out that the claim was stated, very matter -of-factly, elsewhere too.

I never pictured UCLA scraping around to promote assistants like they were Rutgers or something.

This is what happens when you are apparently (according to others in this thread) unwilling to offer a competitive salary for your head coaching position. Edit: I'm not saying this is a bad hire. I'm saying that--if true--it's not a great look for UCLA to not offer a competitive salary.

Should a program of UCLA's caliber commit to finding an experienced head coach with a track record? Yes. However, I think players love Alfee and he'll be able to recruit prep players and transfers pretty well. If he, and his staff, can coach and inspire even a little bit better than Sealy, then UCLA will improve, imo.

But their schedule will be more difficult in the Big Ten.

This is what happens when you are apparently (according to others in this thread) unwilling to offer a competitive salary for your head coaching position. This is just mind-numbing. Wasn't Sealy an assistant? More than that: Wasn't DBK an assistant? Wasn't Petrie an assistant? Elliott was an assistant elevated as interim coach for 2 years as a placeholder for Haley. Wasn't Fisher an NAIA coach? Ulmer was an assistant. Jen Flynn Oldenburg was a club coach/director Hambley was an assistant prior to coaching Illinois to multiple final fours and a final. JK Cook was an assistant prior to coaching Washington Even J Cook was technically elevated from associate head coach (though had obviously been HC at Wisconsin)

Anyone disparaging the Alfee hiring clearly has never met him. He's an incredible person, very knowledgeable, and hard working. I think it's a great hire. He's learned from Hugh and Petrie, learned through the USA programs, has a great volleyball mind. UCLA fans should be excited for this hire IMO.

I think this is an interesting hire. He doesn’t have extensive coaching experience like some others, but he brought Illinois and San Diego to final fours in a relatively short time. I think it’s a good bet.
Excited to see what he will do with the program.

Wasn't Sealy an assistant? More than that: [other examples of successful assistants that completely missed the point of the post that is being responded to] Congratulations on completely missing my point. Others said that UCLA was unwilling to offer a competitive salary. I don't know if that was true, as I have no inside information, but if it was, then that made it effectively impossible to lure a top head coach, so they had to hire an assistant. It may well work out, but it doesn't sound like he was their first choice. Good grief. Your point might be relevant if it addressed what I actually said, but it didn't. I'm actually amazed that your reading comprehension is apparently so poor that you went off on a long tangent that had nothing to do with what I said. Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying this is a bad hire. I don't know enough about him to really say. And I certainly never said that assistant coaches can't be great hires (I've said quite the opposite numerous times because they obviously can). Hell, the head coach of my own school was herself an assistant before being promoted to head coach, and she's one of the best coaches in the country. My point was about what UCLA was apparently offering.

I didn't miss your point and I don't think anybody else did either. In fact you just repeated it. "impossible to lure a top head coach, so they had to hire an assistant" That, despite the fact that pretty much describes every team in the final 8 outside of Hambley, and it even describes him at his previous B1G job. It's really hard to spin that, no matter how hard you try.
