Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cuse1055]

I really don’t know if he’s leaving Saint Louis. They have money too.

Alabama vs Florida this morning. Maybe some concepts we might see Hodgson try with higher end talent if he was to be our coach.

Florida's bigs are so good.

Yep- Golden can coach and putting Oats to shame right now. That's what you get for running iso ball offense for the most part, live and die by the three, and have no bigs who can post-up inside. Plus their D is meh.

Yup when you run 5 out pick and roll and look for mismatches, but the Florida bigs can stay with the Bama guards, so there isn't much penetration to create wide open 3s or dunks, which is usually what happens. And when you run the 3s or dunk offense, and the 3s dont fall, it is going to be a long day sometimes happens on the road.

He is here next season so its not even worth discussing

No way

I have tickets to the NCAAT 1st two rounds in Tampa. I imagine that FLA will be the highest ranked team there.

Dickie V all over how wrong it is for a G League player to be on the court for Alabama, as well as Oats' lame excuse. He could also have mentioned Oats playing the guy who gave a gun to his teammate who used it to commit murder. Prince of a guy that Oats.

We might need to start a coaching search before everyone else does if we want to grab someone without getting poached. I don’t know how much SU wants to spend on a BB coach/program but we’re likely going to need to spend some $ or hope for a cheap pipe dream.

 

[Marsh01]

No way

This post was made last season for the record meaning he would be here this season

 

[Trueblue25]

My guess is A. schertz B. Luke murray

Murray is interesting for sure, I just feel another assistant will be a tough sell.

 

[23Zone]

Next coach must have absolutely have head coaching experience.

 

[Trueblue25]

His reputation and abilities surpass many of the suggested HC’s. I think he silently checks a lot of our desired boxes and somehow has flown under the radar a bit. I hope they’re giving him a hard look.

 

[Trueblue25]

Id argue we get too fixated on prior HC experience. What I’d like to see is a proven coach, in general, with the ability to run an offense.

This may stir the pot but Autry’s tenure as an Assistant at Syracuse was lukewarm at best and the last 10-15 years of JB’s era yielded average bench coaches post-Fine and Hop. Autry deserved a shot at a Siena, not Cuse. The error was forcing an in house hire, not hiring an assistant.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Providence has more NIL probably. If that’s the differentiator . St. John’s apparently is superior to Syracuse now because of one wealthy guy

From what I’ve heard, Prov seems to have more NIL than us.

 

[M2MPrinciples]

 

[CU44SE]

Murray is the only assistant coach I would be okay with.

 

[orangepassion]

I wonder why no one else has come after him.

 

[MadNY3]

He’s been there for less than two years. There aren’t roots and he’s from NYC. He is so gone…

 

[JaySU22]

I wonder why no one else has come after him.

I think he’s being selective with which head job he takes. Also, UConn pays their assistants well.

I like Murray and think he has high upside but he’s too much of a risk with zero head coaching experience. We can’t risk another Red debacle. The career assistant route worked out for Tommy Lloyd recently going from assistant at Gonzaga to Arizona head coach, but he had 20+ years of experience and really helped Few build Gonzaga into a power. Arizona also has great resources. He’s been the one exception in recent years. Schertz is an offensive wizard himself with a proven system, so he neutralizes the one advantage that Murray has.

 

[Cuse4455]

Luke Murray offensive sets are amazing. Constant movement! Id take him in a heartbeat

Murray might be really good, but with no HC experience, it’s hard to know how he’d be as a HC. With Schertz success as a HC on several levels, he is much more of a sure thing.
