Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5334888, member: 966"] I'm gonna suggest that he doesn't really have "name recognition" with the people (potential players) he'd need to recruit. His name is revered by SU alums. And some announcers. And that's about it. Can you name the career assists leader at Wake Forest or Boston College? That's how 'famous' Sherman Douglas is. NCAA record or not. Knows the Xs and Os? How do you figure? More than Red? Sherman was never known to be a stout defender. But, suddenly he can teach that? What makes you think he knows how to motivate a team? Again—more than Red or Griff? Wild stuff. If you said Andy Rautins, i wouldn't have laughed. I'd have pooh-poohed it, but not laughed. Sherm? Stop it. [My mother once dated his uncle!] I love the memories of Sherman playing for us—we were freshmen in the same class. But, the suggestion of an entirely inexperienced ex-player thrust into a HC role for us, after this current debacle... what that's just kookytalk! [/QUOTE]
