    way back when, in '07, jim schaus called marshall the best college basketball coach in the country. man, schaus knew/knows his stuff (no surprise, him being the son of fred schaus- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Schaus one of the very few to successfully make the leap from college coach to nba coach).

          As long as he runs a clean ship, which seems to be in question, then he's ok with me. I'm already starting to draw the connections between great recruiter and UCF probations, though.

            Did you read the sanctions? Some dude in Chicago was sending kids to the UCF football team under the advisement of the AD. They were already on FB probation, which is why they got the ban. He also sent one kid to the basketball team.

              Fortunately, this guy is not running the Wichita State ship. Granted this kind of history is something of a concern but I trust that the Captain of the Wichita State ship will make it clear how he expects things to be done. Obviously, this is something 3G would be aware of before making this hire.

                        I'm just surprised Marshall has been able to hire 2 assistants in two weeks. Since, you know, nobody likes him.

                          Well, Melissa Joan Hart follows him on twitter, so he must be a pretty solid guy in my book =)

                              One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet.

                              ACDJ spent the last year as a scout for the Clippers. Not being under the NCAA umbrella meant that there is no such thing as "impermissible contact."

                              I'll let you guys connect the dots...
                              You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....

                              .....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

                                That worked out pretty well for Huggins in his year off between Cinci and KSU.
