Assistant coach Orlando Antigua could be the next head coach for Duquense


It was a high scoring, fast pace, great free throw shooting game to beat Indiana last night. Assistant coach Orlando Antigua has been very successful with his time under Calipari, and now colleges are noticing. Gary Parrish of CBS Sports predicted yesterday morning through twitter that coach Antigua would be the next head coach for Duquense and former Illinois assistant Jerrance Howard be his replacement. Howard has ties with Billy G, both being assistants for Bruce Weber at Illinois. Howard was also an administrative assistant for the cats during Billy G's very long 2 year tenure at Kentucky. It would be sad to see coach Antigua go, being known for his great recruiting and for just being part of the big blue nation, but when the opportunity arises you've got to grab it.  Whatever Coach Antigua decides to do, we wish him the best.

Quick note: While researching about Coach Antigua, found out he was featured in the movie Little Nicky as a Harlem Globetrotter. He's on the left to the guy with the fro about 3 seconds into the video.
