Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2624518, member: 56"] If this is sarcasm, how do you evaluate candidates? [B]Nate Oats[/B]: 3 years HC experience. Took over a successful program from Bobby Hurley and has managed to sustain it. 1 conference championship. Two conference tournament championships. Going to second NCAA this year. I like his success at Romulous High School. Provides a good base. He can obviously coach and developed some college players there. I'm unsure about his ability to recruit at this level. Oats is an intriguing candidate, but I don't think he's leaving Buffalo short term, he just extended his contract last week, indicating he'd like to stay. An important point is that his wife loves it there, got her cancer treatments and is currently being monitored there. [B]CB Mcgrath[/B]: 1 year HC experience. 11-21 for UNC Wilmington. Just not enough experience or record to base anything off of. No idea if he can run a program well. Needs to get a quality mid major after his stop at Wilmington. Long time high major assistant who is familiar with those recruiting circles. That's a plus. Why didn't he get (or maybe pursue) a HC position in those 14 years at UNC? Too many unknowns. Proven nothing. [/QUOTE]
