Frank Haith is a bad coach. He was handed a good team at Mizzou, won, ran it into the ground over time. I trust he will do the same at Tulsa. Know who else feels that way about him? Mark Titus. I'll walk something back as soon as I have a reason to. None yet.
Leiato is still miles better than the other assistants on this staff. Love them for their accomplishnents as players but they are getting it handed to them in recruiting. You can't just get one star guy. They're totally blowing it with stone.
Timeout.
Firstly, the QUESTION on Haith: He had one GREAT Missouri year. With Mike Anderson guys. Now, he is having a solid reconstruction of this Danny Manning team. Argue that? I think the Contra is a loser position. He has a good bunch of athletes & he will get them a lot of wins this year. I guess the question should be whether Frank Haith can have a second year or build a Program. I think you are going to see this Tulsa Hurricane team play well into March. (plus they are ALL Juniors)
Then ... Hobbs & Miller were Major Head Coaches. You can state they can't recruit ... but that is short term memory when we consider that Karl Hobbs was a solid recruiter through the 1990s at UCONN (YES ... OUR School). That blows your argument out. Has he lost it? Might. Miller doesn't recruit per se. So, you are really talking about Ricky Moore. Jury is out.
We shall see long term on Tulsa. At this point, you'd have to say that Haith was a damn good hire. Wish we got something like that from PP.
