Good thing he doesn't have to work out to be a coach...  GMAC played right at the end of the era where you could just show up to play basketball if you were good enough.

Looking at vintage basketball video is a lot like watching a different sport.  Guys like Betsey would have played as 200 lb small forwards, now he's bulked himself into a 230lb monster, and it may have cost him some athleticism, but the alternative is to be physically unable to compete.

Even back in the day, they were giving McNamara kevlar sewn into his uniform to help fight off all the elbows and knees he took every single time he came off a screen.

Ultimately, I am very happy for GMAC and I would have mixed feelings if he became our new coach.  I also would point out that he is 42 years old, and just took a mid major to the NCAA tournament, playing a kind of basketball that is actually fun to watch.

I would welcome him with open arms, even if I am not sure he is the right hire...
