Good one, john. Your sense of humor has really taken off since you stopped posting.

Ratner, yours apparently hasn't. Interesting how you and gtcam are the only ones who couldn't understand the thread.

Cmon Bill. It hasn’t been the play calling, he’s just been without his PG the past two years

I sorta agree with you, but I put that on the coaching staff for not recruiting another point guard as this team has always done better when you have two ball handlers on the team

Karl Hobbs with Scott Burrell. Dead serious

When Hobbs was an assistant coach we were winning. I still think Hobbs helped Ollie get out of some of his messes.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Danny Hurley is my first choice but we could do a lot worse than Tom Crean. He also recruits the northeast very well.

I would Tom Crean in my pants if we got Danny Hurley

He's more experienced and qualified than most of the other choices.

Coach Moreland Smith. One of the most underappreciated coaches of my lifetime.

He was a cheater, paid his players.

Its still a good job, the brand can still be salvaged ...I really trust AD David Benedict

you trust the AD based on what?

 

[CoachE]

Tommy Amaker - harvard
edit: pat chambers - penn state

Amaker is interesting - he may be comfortable at Harvard not having to deal with nonsensical issues; he put together a nice squad at Seton Hall - I don't remember much about what he did at UM (must have failed) - maybe he is waiting for the Duke job.

 

[UConnStats]

Amaker has been bad everywhere he’s went. Harvard has the best recruiting in the Ivy League by leaps and bounds, and they’ve been awful the last few years. Michigan was terrible under Amaker too. I wouldn’t even consider him.

Pat Chambers is probably going to get fired by Penn State this year. Enough said there as well.

Absolutely shocked. 5 pages in and no one has offered up Geno yet.

An under the radar coaching candidate that I like (being serious) is Matt McMahon. He’s only 39 years old, but has made Murray St very competitive in just his third year as coach. Murray St. has produced many good coaches like Mick Cronin, Steve Prohm (Iowa State), and Billy Kennedy (Texas A&M). He was also hired as an assistant by LA Tech, who also does a tremendous job at finding great basketball minds.

I don't think he has enough experience. Not a long enough track record to make an evaluation. You can't really use past coaches as a measure of success, because each guy is an individual with different experiences. He didn't even have any assistant experience at a high major program. Too many unknowns. jmo tho

Agreed, just throwing his name out there though as an up and comer.
