  • Would we have made a phone call to Brey? I have no idea.

      Maybe. And that would be another one that would make sense to at least Guage interest

        Do I personally like other candidates better? Sure, but that is just a personal preference. Doesnt mean those other people we are necessarily out of their league.

        I think a Kelsey, Richey, McCasland, DeVries is exactly who we should be targeting.
        Did you watch Furman in the tourney games?? Very vanilla team that looked a lot like IB teams. No thanks. And I am glad I could make you laugh.

          Too busy chasing down the Morehead State coach.

            • I saw UT Arlington has hired KT Turner as head coach.

                  I didn't like their style as a fit for our program or conference. I dont feel his style would energize the fanbase. But again, that is personal preference.

                  However, at a school and in a conference like Furman you can't argue the results. But neither of us are in a position or qualified to make that call. Unless you are involved personally with the coaching search. Maybe you are and have a better viewpoint and understanding than the rest of us.

                  But to say we are out of his league is kind of a crazy statement to me. He will end up at a school of fairly equal value of Wichita State if he so chooses. Just a matter of if he does. I think he will be better suited for an East Coast team. But that is just me.

                  I am just afraid that some people, not necessarily you, are setting themselves up for a bigger disappointment than they need to.

                  Dont mean any offense. Just an opinion.

                    Which is why WSU will be paying 3 head coaches next year. Better than some protracted for cause firing lawsuit, but still taxing on resources.

                      I have nothing against coaches from a lower level as long as their demeanor and x's and o's style is a fit, or what I think is a fit. I like Kelsey a lot. I like Pasternack at UCSB. Not sold on Richey, Devries, or Spradlin. I think Sampson would be an excellent choice based on what I have seen. The lack of HC experience does give me pause, but you can't argue that he hasn't been a part of a successful program and seen how it is done.

                        I guess those who are worried can go back to worrying.

                          Fair enough. And, personally, I do have a similar opinion overall in regards to those candidates.

                            His record the last few years.

                            Prior 403-202

                            His last five years have been very unimpressive. Prior record looks great.

                            • USF hiring Brey is a perfect example of the giant chasm between the new AAC and the MVC even though MVC fans want to pretend the conferences are equal.

                                I do believe sometimes a change is enough to re-energize. Who knows, but unless he is completely burned out I think he could do quite well at another place.
