Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 2120692, member: 880"] Why would Emeka want to do this? I will never, ever understand this board's preoccupation with former players instantly being great coaches. Someone even said we should hire Uncle Cliffy, fresh off a brain hemorrhage, b/c you know, he was a good player for us once upon a time. We need to replace Glen Miller with a guy who has coached before. Who is going to bust it recruiting and in practice b/c they are a coach and want to further advance in that world. And furthermore, Emeka was a great player for us and obviously an exemplary student athlete, but when I think of guys who possessed great big man skills, I'm sorry, but he's not at the top of the list. He was effective b/c he outworked his guy and was explosive. He was never a guy with great post moves. He was very mechanical. Hence why he goes to the pro's and is not a low post scorer. [/QUOTE]
