Schmidt from Bonaventure coached at Robert Morris for six seasons. The Duquesne coach, Keith Dambrot, has only been there for one season but he was the head coach at Akron for a long time and coached LeBron in HS. Will Brown has connections throughout the northeast. Plus those guys you mentioned. Both have good pedigrees. I'm not sure they are going to find another Ben Howland or another Jamie Dixon, but they need to build their program back to respectability. The ACC will be playing a 20 game conference schedule. That only gives you 11 out of conference games. You need to find someone who can get you at least 8 wins in conference.agree. i threw bucknell coach nathan davis' name into the mix the other day, along with nova assistant ashley howard. those are guys with pennsylvania roots and connections in the local recruiting scene. i think pitt would be better served getting someone young & building from scratch rather than going with another "name" retread
one would hope the search firm they are paying gives them as many non-retread names as you haveSchmidt from Bonaventure coached at Robert Morris for six seasons.

He is not a college level coach. He is bad.
Georgia boosters must have put together a million dollar recruiting fund to buy recruits. Otherwise he wouldn't be going to a school that has been a non factor in hoops.Pretty much done deal according to ESPN -
Sources: Crean near deal to be Georgia coach
I agree it is my opinion. He is a good recruiter, but not a good Xs and Os coach.Not based on anything but your opinion.

Don't believe that he is not regarded as underrated in Indiana after the coaching job he did there the last several years.He did well at Marquette and parlayed that into a blue blood hire which he turned from septic tank into a contender. Not a fan of him but it's amazing how underrated he is here which is scary because this may be the only place he's underrated.
He was on the "hot seat" for a few yearsDon't believe that he is not regarded as underrated in Indiana after the coaching job he did there the last several years.
And they may very well do so.Pitt could do much worse
And they may very well do so.
8 (!!) players are receiving their release to transfer from Pitt. Wonder if they'll even be able to field a team next year
It's hard to believe that 8 players are upset they won't get to play under Kevin Stallings.8 (!!) players are receiving their release to transfer from Pitt. Wonder if they'll even be able to field a team next year
