Cincinnati Bearcats fans were buzzing about tweets Monday from former UC greats Sean Kilpatrick and Nick Van Exel, both UC Athletics Hall of Famers.
With a vacancy on the coaching staff left by Drew Adams departure for Indiana, Kilpatrick tweeted, "You damn right I’d wanna coach at my school!"
Kilpatrick is second only to Oscar Robertson on UC's all-time scoring list.
Fellow former Bearcat guard Nick Van Exel didn't specify whether he was referring to UC, but tweeted late Monday, "I'm not talking about asst coaching. I'm talking about asst GM."
The Bearcats announced the addition of general manager Corey Evans.
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.
