You know its bad when even the saintly Coach K is in on it. I would be good with Royal Ivey if he wanted it. Sack up and roll the dice. Could he be any worse? Sampson's problem is he got caught. That eliminates him from consideration.
March 22, 20214 yr Not sure if it matters, but Diana Ross wants Mussels. Quote The simple fact is that you have to be able to recruit transfers these days. There are 600-700 in D1 each year now. Each team is going to lose 2-4 kids unexpectedly and needs to replace them through the transfer market. You're much better getting a transfer than the typical type of HS kid that is unsigned April or later. Muss brought in a ton of transfers and completely overhauled Arkansas' roster. Only one player from last year's team in in the top 10 of minutes this year. That said, he started 3 freshmen recruited out of HS in yesterday's game vs. Tech. I don't know where the asshole or aloof stuff comes from. At a minimum, his public persona is one that is very interactive both on social media and in public. He's a goofball.

March 22, 20214 yr I don't think he'd leave, and Uncle Phil will pay what he needs to, but Dana Altman is the best coach in the PAC, and has been for awhile.
March 22, 20214 yr We still talking about that stupid Sampson phone call scandal? Who gives a shit - the guy has coached UH into back to back Sweet 16 appearances

He does have that blemish of letting the player with a known rape allegation play during the final four run, but I’m not certain how that was ever resolved. I’d take him in a heartbeat.
March 22, 20214 yr stop with this royal ivey nonsense. 0 head coaching experience. 0 ncaa experience.
March 22, 20214 yr I really don't know if Ivey is ready to be a head coach, but I'd at least explore the option at minimum to at least appease the Texas NBA players. I'm not sure it's public knowledge just how much Durant likes him, but I think he's on record about Ivey being his favorite teammate. Ivey was even seen as a factor in recruiting KD to the Knicks (but then they blew it with DeAndre Jordan) and I'm pretty sure Durant was a huge influence on getting him hired on the Nets. In a best case scenario, you might have a very strong recruiting program with NBA players more engaged and part of everything. You also don't have to worry about any song/racial issues of any kind either. I'd rather gamble on a low floor/high ceiling potential hire with basketball than football, so maybe this is my bias showing.

You can fix a bad roster with a couple of guys in one class in basketball. Besides I just dont think Texas has nearly the allure we think it does for some hot shit guy.
March 22, 20214 yr Durant is the ultimate beta - left OKC to sign with GS after choking away a 3-1 lead.

March 22, 20214 yr Hasn’t Sampson been clean at UH? Don’t seem to recall any issues?oh lord. the only coach from cougar high I want is Guy Lewis.
March 22, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, Braff Zacklin said: Not the first time TJ has tweeted a subtle diss at Shaka's expense. It's a fine line as there's an unwritten rule among former players and coaches, but I think it hurts them to see so much talent being wasted without any direction or promise of improvement. plus TJ has stated countless times that his dream, his absolute dream, is to coach at Texas. he actually said that his motivation for getting his degree was so that Barnes could one day hire him at Texas, where he then wanted to eventually succeed Barnes. TJ has to sit here watching this absolute clown just shit all over the program that TJ helped create, which also happens to be his dream job. that has to sting TJ something serious Edited March 22, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
March 22, 20214 yr John Beilein is the only answer as far as I'm concerned. Who cares if he's old, he'll at least give us 5+ years of an aesthetically pleasing and successful product while he's here. Plus he has the added bonus of no buyout needed to hire him. Shit maybe we can see if Royal will work as a coach in waiting under him for a few years. My main reservation with Ivey is he's coached with less than stellar coaches and organizations during his time in the NBA. The comparison to Juwan Howard fails to factor in that Howard worked for over a decade (as a player coach and assistant coach) for the premiere organization (outside of the Spurs) in professional basketball when to comes to the combination of developing players and high level tactics. Ivey just hasn't been around near that same level of competent coaching and orgs as I'd like to see in a guy who doesn't have head coaching experience. Edited March 22, 20214 yr by Catdaddyhorn

Lol he gravy trained a ring from the Warriors and then created a Twitter burner account to try to defend himself from randoms calling him out on it.

March 22, 20214 yr i like a lot of the names that have been mentioned, but i'm also all for giving ivey a shot. if he gets on as an nba coach in the next few years, the opportunity will likely never present itself again.

March 22, 20214 yr I just hope the hundreds of millions of dollars and multiple championship are enough to shield Kevin Durant from the scorching hot takes. It must be a struggle.
March 22, 20214 yr King Rice at Monmouth is a good under the radar coach but I’m biased Not saying we should hire him FTR

March 23, 20214 yr I read a column today that suggested that Shaka is a candidate for the Indiana job.
