Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5702985, member: 1145"] There is a logical argument that if a staff was really struggling, it is not wise to make someone from that staff the next HC. And for many, the failure of Autry elevated to HC is the final proof that GMac should not even be on a short list. But there is a big difference between Autry when hired as HC and GMac today: Autry had been nothing but Boeheim's former player on his staff, so Autry had done nothing but be part of a failing staff. GMac has now been HC elsewhere for 2 seasons. He did not take over the Giant of the league and keep winning. He stool over a flailing program and in Year 2 has gotten it into the NCAA. So, Autry had no experience elsewhere or as HC, and Max now has HC experience in taking a Loser and within 2 yers getting it to the NCAA. That experience matters. [/QUOTE]
