This thread is about Asst coaches, not HCGM's replacement.

For how much longer?

Matty B. YES, this is a great time to bring him back to the fold IF there is a good assistant ready to be AHC. If not, how much does Coop make and is he happy?


EDIT: He is on a five year, $250,000 base contract. We can do this.

Another run at Coach Moton please.

Now THERE'S an idea! Figure out which players will transfer when Barnes gets canned (I predict April 2nd) and go for the assistant they're linked to.

All I see them have committed are a bunch of SGs.

Maybe they have connections to so big (both size and ranking) recruits though.

From an article discussing Barnes. This would be unlikely, but it'd be a home run to land Lucas.

"There's been some talk about changes anyway since special assistant*Jai Lucas*may not want to spend a third season behind the bench. Lucas represents a key figure for the program in the Houston recruiting scene, where the Lucas name carries significant weight."

I like this option as well, and I think Heiar is ready for the AHC position.

Lots of good options. I'd be happy with either Grant or Geno getting a year or two to recover before heading off to their next top gigs.

Another guy with JUCO ties would be nice, especially if an AA JUCO big was part of a package deal ...

I'd love to see Matt Braeuer on the staff, although I think another two years or so recruiting Texas specifically would be good for him. He's definitely starting to get the point where him coming onto the staff is a realistic option, though. He's built up some significant experience in the last eight years, has deep Texas ties, and will absolutely be dedicated to WSU, which is a valuable sell in recruiting. Still inexperienced compared to the assistants Marshall brings in, though.
