Jimmy Boeheim has to be in consideration, at some point, as a Graduate Assistant type hire. I thought there was some whispers he wants to get into coaching
We don’t need a hs coach. We need someone with major recruiting connections.
I will take the best talent available and you really should never shoot for lower. Villanova and Virginia's champ teams were not lacking in talent. Nearly all of their major minute getters were top 100 recruits, there aren't many teams winning championships with 3 stars... Maybe you dont want a team full of 5 stars like Kentucky, but talent solves a lot of issues. Syracuse has fielded teams of 3/4 stars and have struggled mightily, how different would the last few years be with a Malachi/Fab type talent on the floor?Are his deficiencies covered though? He has one title out of what seems like 20 number one recruiting classes. And he only has that one because of Anthony Davis. He returned the national player of the year as well as a great recruiting class plus portal players and still has underwhelmed this season.
I absolutely do not want an NBA factory for a team. I want Virginia/Villanova type teams. Good strong loyal players who stick around. Good fundamental offense and defense. Build up a strong foundation of players and build off that.
I would take a team of 3 star seniors over a team of 5 star freshman any day of the week.

So Carmelo AnthonyCurrent staff is guard-centric, I'd like to see someone the bigs can identify with. As others have mentioned, this person should also bring something fresh to the table on the defensive side.
To me if you need someone to teach big men, and doesn't need to be a recruiter, ask DC.I love griff but need a actual big man to coach the bigs . Really think Red will do good recruiting so a Big man coach are any alum bigs that coach

He knows all the in's and out's of the game. Helped Rick Jackson, and Arinze, in showing them how to seal off the defensiveman for an entry pass.

Agreed. Let Griff coach the wings and bring in a legit big man coach.I love griff but need a actual big man to coach the bigs . Really think Red will do good recruiting so a Big man coach are any alum bigs that coach
Well he does have a lot of basketball knowledge. You can see it by the way he plays the game. He was never the most athletic player, he was never the best shooter. He earned his way onto a power 5 program by just his basketball knowledge. He is the type of player who could definitely be successful at coaching in the future.Other than his last name, why?
Unfortunately, unless we get lucky or scout better than everybody else paid to do the same thing, your favorite style of team will have a decent season every few years, while the reloaded five stars freshman will be in the national championship mix every single year. You like lovable losers, it sounds like.Are his deficiencies covered though? He has one title out of what seems like 20 number one recruiting classes.

And...why does he have to be in consideration? Because of his experience?Jimmy Boeheim has to be in consideration, at some point, as a Graduate Assistant type hire. I thought there was some whispers he wants to get into coaching

Give me (literally Niastri the never coached a basketball game in his life) the best recruit at every position every year, and I'll look like I'm a great coach, especially if I can afford great assistants. Lol
Talent wins the games. Coaching helps, but nobody can coach a bunch of low talent nobodies to great success.

I’m not really saying that this is what you’re suggesting…. But even if you’re getting NBA caliber players, who may be one and done, you still have to make sure they are guys who will play within a system and team concept, who are willing to try to make everyone around them better.I hate Calipari and I think he is a terrible coach but his deficiencies are covered well by those 5 stars. I don't think you should ever turn down getting the next generation of NBA talent. The guys on the bench clearly can improve players skills, get a recruiter who can get the top players in and lets worry about the rest after.
