Assistant Coach Possibilities

[NKR1978]

I have no names to throw around, but criteria:
1. Stud recruiter.
2. Big man coach. (Imagine TR's career if we had a guy who played the position and dedicated his career to coaching it? Maybe that offers some tiny bit of motivation to Lydon and maybe Chukwu develops into a real defensive force and someone who isn't an offensive liability.)
3. Did not play for JB at Syracuse.

How about Michael Porter Sr? And I'm not joking.

How do you bring in a top assistant when your coach isn't going to be around much longer and the new guy will want to bring in his own guys?

Who else feels like JB will just do the easy thing and promote AA and Gerry while bringing in Devo?

I hope not...

That ship has prolly sailed but maybe we could rotate that spot each year with the top recruits father. Lets make a total mockery of the NCAA buffoonery.

You bring in a guy who has head coach aspirations and give him the AHC title. Make him your lead recruiter and top assistant. Give him more money than he makes now and give him a chance to put Jim Boeheim and Syracuse on his resume. Maybe help get him into USA basketball if that's something he wants.

Or you know, being in a place for a few years in a nomadic profession isn't so bad.

Let Cam Reddish decide

That crossed my mind.

I actually think Devo would be better than Gerry.

I would change to Gonzaga if they appointed Devo. Serious.

Herm Harried and Ryan Blackwell interest me but do not match your criteria. Both have something to bring to the table. Would like to see them work in a college assistant job first in a perfect world though.

Did Crean have anyone on his staff worth getting for a couple years as assistant coach?

People need to get away from the SU basketball alumni tree. It's a very shallow pool to be swimming in.

Book Richardson please

Ryan Blackwell already looks and talks like a college coach. Can't miss with him.

This is a feature, not a bug

Wonder if 74 year old Brendan Malone is tired of the NBA?

Just saying, John Thompson III could become available soon /s

Who is such a guy? Why...Tom Crean is that man!!!!
