Didn't the wiggins play together in hs?

No. They were several years apart and then Our Wiggins went to Juco.

Change “daddy” to “brother” and tell me why Andrew Wiggins couldn’t have played at WSU. Could you imagine that squad of three NBA guys with Andrew Wiggins also on our side? One of my many “WHAT IF” scenarios of Shocker Athletics.

He didn’t come to WSU because we would not pay him.

Some different names on this list. Hadn't thought about John Cooper but he hasn't had a ton of success as a head coach. H to the ell no to Tim Miles and Turgeon.

Shocker Shaka Smart.

Go from 3Gs to 3Ss.

Play Angry to HAVOC.

Already know he looks good and can coach in the Black and Yellow.

Only 43, with over a decade of HC experience.

Lots to like and makes a lot of sense.

Yeah but it takes two to tango.

Also, have you seen him lately? He grew his hair out.

EDIT: He might not appreciate playing in a stadium named after Charles Koch.

WSU would be better off taking a coach from the GGG coaching tree than several of the names that are being thrown around on the internet. They've had success.

Still think we should look at Cliff Levingston

[Kel Varnsen]

With all due respect to those suggesting Cliff Levingston, Antoine Carr, or Xavier McDaniel, do any of those guys have any coaching experience? Know how to relate to today's players? Have existing relationships with high school coaches in key parts of the country for recruiting? Can they break down film? It would be nice to bridge the gap between the MTXE era and today's players, but they have to be able to do something other than just be a figurehead coaching players who never grew up watching any of them. Otherwise, it's a wasted salary and a wasted spot on the bench.

I'm guessing the guy who got the call checks all of those boxes.

EDIT: I guess Cliff has done some coaching. But there's a lot that still applies.

I think you’re seeing a lot of logic-clogging nostalgia going on. Just cuz X owned the gym in 1985 doesn’t mean he belongs on a coaching bench in 2020.

1. Ron
2. Anyone that has a nice recruit in their back pocket

Check, check, check, check. All boxes checked.

[Dan]

I know a lot of us here have fondness for the old timers, but this will be a fairly low paying gig and we need some youth on the bench. Someone these kids can relate to and someone with credibility with the young recruits.

[wichshock65]

Check, check, check, check. All boxes checked.

Well heck, since it's so easy to have you check all the boxes, why don't we just ask for someone with major accolades.

Also needs to have Twelve 5 star kids spread across the next 12 recruiting seasons. Yes I want a rated 5 star 5 year old.
