New Assistant

[PauliePeppas]

Also like someone with international connects like Tommy Lloyd

 

[IthacaMatt]

I prefer a recruiter with connections. We need to upgrade talent and depth moving forward and work the portal for the missing parts each off season.

It seems to me we would like to see Gerry and Griffin move on, if you ask me.

I like the AAU guy who got us Donnie, Brendan Straughn, I think it is. I don't see Alan as having done any great job with the big men, honestly. At least we have had a lot of good shooters under Gerry.

If we need a former head coach to help Autry with x's and o's and offense, then maybe we also need a legit big man coach who can also recruit. If Autry wants a long successful career, there's no room for passengers on his staff.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Jay Wright, Popovich, Pitino, Fergie

All reasonable choices

 

[JrodCuse]

Might as well throw in Billy Donovan, Pat Riley, Doc Rivers, Ime Udoka, Phil Jackson, oh coach K too.

Don’t forget coach Spoelstra. He did just sign a 10yr - $120m contract but hey if we’re gonna show we’re serious about basketball we need to be able to beat that.

Yes to this. Great call.

 

[Cusedad2X]

Who do we want?

For me, I want heavy connections with agents/northeast aau programs and new england prep scene (which has been lacking bigtime since Hop left) . Digging thru names now

Rob Johnson (but not officially). lol We need to get back to the Street Agent days. This loose oversight by the NCAA and the new/old Wild West Days upon us, it might be the right time to revisit that recruiting strategy.

 

[Gotothehole]

Jason Hart

 

[Wrinkle]

Jonny Flynn

 

[Sherman20]

Jason Hart

Jason Hart will be in play for a head coaching job, probably at USC. I could also see another LA area school like Pepperdine.

Rob was way ahead of his time.

He delivered the Pearl. Wasn't he with Conrad too?? Forever grateful, despite Tony Scott's exit.

We need a recruiter.

I have to disagree. He taught edwards and if we coulda not been screwed over bye his pops we could have had a really good year.

Griff has been here 6 years now. Aside from one season of productivity from Edwards, what are his other successes?

Well Edwards had 1 decent and 1 great year and woulda had a 3rd. so 3 outta 6 aint shabby

He worked with Edwards 4 of those 6 years and Jesse had 2 very productive years at SU. You really are understating facts to fit your viewpoint. He’s done a good job with Maliq. Marek was a key player at SU. Bourama was hurt most of his career.

3 years. Edwards’ improvement towards the end of his sophomore year helped us get to a sweet 16 in 2021. He wasn’t a star but his defense and rim protection and posing an offensive threat was one of the keys to that run.

You don’t think he’s helped Maliq improve? Same with Marek.

They worked out mostly with the forwards.

One thing I hate about our bigs in the last 10 years is that not one seems to be able to add a baby hook into their arsenal. I mean my god I’m 34 and my baby hook in the low post is better. Are and Rick Jackson were masters with that shot.

Maybe we should get a legit big man coach then?

 

[Ozone!]

Yesssssss!​

 

[swish7]

Imagine a scenario where Griff could coach guards & a former big could coach bigs? Sounds like a win win to me.

How many times do you see a baby hook in the college/nba game nowadays? It's almost non-existent

I agree, but I think if he was big, he’d still be big, no?
