Coach Search Options after Autry

Hodgson about to get a big win. I hope he’s at least on Wildhack’s radar if nothing else.

His name is Jim Crutchfield. He's 69 years old but I can't get over his career record. The guy is 581 and 87. That an 87% career winning %

He's 222–26 (.895) at Nova Southeastern with 2 National Championships.

Fascinating resume. Good call, Phat. Crutchfield has the highest winning percentage among coaches at any level in NCAA history. NBA execs and coaches consider him a genius and seek out his opinion.

"Nova Southeastern plays faster than anyone in college basketball — the Sharks’ 85.8 possessions per game this season are nearly 10 more than the fastest-playing Division I team — applies a full-court press constantly and plays every possession like it’s game point..."

Basketball Genius

I like how Hodgson isn't afraid to coach his players hard really hard during the game. Like I said I think he should be the floor for this job.

He has been linked to SU as a possibility since this fall.

He has been linked to SU as a possibility since this fall.

Since last year when he was at Arkansas State.

Dug up this gem of a thread from 2022:

Thread 'Potential JB successors'
Potential JB successors

Many in the thread were spot on at how the school ended up handling JB’s departure and the successor decision hiring Red, and ultimately the result. Keep in mind this was a full year before JB “retired”.

Hodgson and the USF Bulls with a big win over a 20-3 Tulsa team. Started the game on a 14-1 run, which is almost the opposite of what we typically do under Autry. Bulls averaging 90.4 points per game, Hodgson has improved their record by 3 wins from last season with 7 games to play.

Too bad that we can’t consider him to coach here because he allegedly said some mean words to someone not associated with our program. After all, we’ve never had a coach who ever said mean things to people, under any circumstances. And I'm supposed to wonder why we've fallen as far as we have...

Maybe if he gets to March and does something.

I dont care about what mean stuff he’s said. We all but worship JB here so I find it hilarious that thats a red line for some people.

I say a lot of stupid things but I am glad I didn't say anything in that thread. lol

One thing is still the same alot of people on the board do not watch college basketball outside of the Syracuse schedule.

I am hoping our decision is done before March Madness starts. At least we should be farther along in the process that if Hodgson makes the tournament or not it wouldn't matter much, if any.

Agree with that last sentence 100%

The tournament will likely yield other under the radar names the boards overlooked too. Id be disappointed if Hodgson was the chosen candidate before the Tournament, personally.
