And honestly, why would he? We were a one-year stop on the way to the NBA. It's not as if he was going to be an engineer.

Seems to be a recurring theme this offseason.

Hiring an assistant college basketball coach is only really going to be news locally (and on Twitter) regardless of when it happens. It's extremely rare to hear anything nationally about an assistant coaching hire. Unless we're hiring Michael Jordan, it's not going to be a major announcement to...

Why would the NFL Draft affect when you announce you're hiring an assistant coach?

I suppose he could have some guys who have basically indicated interest behind the scenes but is trying to get the right mix of guys before making things official? Just speculating, of course.

No, but I think it's reasonable to question Ken deciding to frame the whole piece around that one Q/A. Obviously it's generated buzz, so you have to give him that, but if the rumors are true that Ken and people inside Tech athletics aren't on the best terms, I can't imagine pieces like that are...

You can go from lousy to good in a pretty short time period in basketball. FOUR times Hewitt took teams that finished a game over .500 or worse the previous year to the NCAA tournament -- once all the way the finals. I agree with others that we should have a tournament appearance by year 3 (year...

This offseason: Maintain Romello White and add Charlie Moore and/or another good recruit or grad transfer Next season: Avoid being awful 17-18: Show signs of promise and at least make NIT 18-19: Make tournament and either have impressive run or show signs of a good year for 19-20 (in other...

Until this coaching search, I never paid attention to Goodman's twitter account or really saw much of him outside of the occasional TV appearance. Used to feel bad for him because of his lisp. Now I kinda think he's a jerk.

He signed 10 players in the ESPN top 50 while at Memphis. On paper, he had more talent than his opposition in probably 90% of conference games.

I wonder if that's more or less excitement than when they made the final four...

Gregory had been to the 2nd round at Dayton. Same as Pastner at Memphis. Gregory wasn't missed by the Dayton fan base, and all indications are Pastner won't be missed by Memphis. I'll give the guy a chance (because as a fan, there aren't many other options) but on the surface there's not a lot...

Yeah, that's the seedy underbelly of college hoops. That said, having Lawson on our staff could prove beneficial...

The general belief is that Memphis has trended downward the longer Calipari has been gone. It may not be fair to say he isn't good because he hasn't replicated Cal's success, but it's also a bit skewed to look solely at record without accounting for where the program was when he took over. It's...

Trying to spin this optimistically, because I don't know what else to do at this point: He can recruit well, so if we get him for cheap, even if he doesn't produce a ton of wins, at least we should have the money and players to entice a good coach in 3-4 years.

Yeah, we're so much of a coaching graveyard that are previous two coaches to Gregory both lasted for over a decade each and both made final fours.

Maybe the Vandy or Cal AD is stepping down?

I hope not. He's spent his entire life out west and I'd prefer avoiding guys who've been suspended and linked to major violations.

Which makes me wonder where MBob was at and who he was speaking to.

Same here. Regardless, we're giving the appearance of having no clear sense of direction in this search, which I have to believe doesn't look good with recruits or potential transfers.
