Coaches on the Hot Seat

[kg01]

Sounding like one potential destination may be off the board soon. Also sounds like Peac needs to buy a bunch of WKU gear.

Just kidding, Peac.

If we continue on this current route. They will be in the tourney before we are.

Care to wager?

Stansbury would do well at W KY. Not sure he'd do very well at ACC level. (He'd do better than Gregory, but probably not by very much).

Also, it looks like their may be multiple thoughts going on at Stanford.

Wager that we'll make the tourney before WKU? Nah.

Can someone give me a review of Mick Cronin? Style of play? Recruiting prowess?

 

[DSGB]

Also, how do the rumors of Under Armour replacing Russell play into this decision? Wouldn't they want a super strong basketball HC in Atlanta? Anything happening on that front?

I'm posting this because I'm amused by an account called Park Bench that has 5 followers.

Wow, not only is he reporting Haase to Stan, he's also listing potential names for UAB. I wonder if that's some alter for one of the major name guys?

He posted this a few days ago.

Wait, I'm rusty on my twitter-ease. Is he saying Gregs was/is chasing the St. Louis job?

ETA: I also read that Pitino-to-UNLV rumor on their board. Said UNLV was offering $3MM plus a piece of some deal to bring an NHL franchise to Vegas. Sounded too outrageous to re-post.

Good recruiter. Slows it waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy down, grind it out.

Thanks for the review. That's what I think of with Cincy.

That being said, he is off my list. I don't want to watch that type of basketball. I want a spread it out, free flowing offense. That's the way basketball is trending and I want that style. More pleasing to watch.

Agree on the style of play thing. That grind-it-out style seems like 'playing not to lose' to me. That said, I'd still take Cronin (probably mainly out of desperation).

I'd keep Gregory over him. Style of play should be the #1 thing we look for. We need to play in the manner that the talent around us wants to play. These kids don't want to play like that. Thrillerdome... Let's get back to running and shooting (and the shots going in).

 

[Peacone36]

I'd take Cronin in a heartbeat.

He's a good coach.

Pitino...Vegas...strippers...I see an irony here. Some might call it a perfect marriage.

USC Trojans Men's Basketball: Pittsburgh reportedly reached out to Andy Enfield about coaching at Pitt

Enfield to Pitt would make alot of sense. He is from about 150 miles outside of Pittsburgh
