Coaching Carousel 2 - A New Dawn

[dtm1997]

Heavy VA bias? Has Smart fallen off your list, btw?

I don't like many college coaches that much. I do like Larranaga though. I have to hate him since it's UM, but yeah I like what he's got going.

I'm still a big Shaka fan. He's got a top notch recruiting class coming in and his younger guys should improve.

Plus, Austin is a nice city.

Word is Shaka felt it was too soon to leave TX.

Is this actually true? I've never been.

I saw where a guy was saying this was becoming a little overstated.

I used to work for a company that built all over Texas. Nooone I know who has ever been to Austin has had a bad thing to say about it FWIW

Austin is a neat place. Full stop

Chris Mullin 2.0?

Or Mark Price 2.0 (Oh no you di'n't, )

GTown hires Ewing

And we thought it was important that GT hired good assistants for Pastner.

 

[Techster]

Wonder if our very own Tavares Hardy is in play for an assistant job at Georgetown given history there.

Potentially @kg01 flying by the seat of his pants 2.0

That is really the key for him. He has put in the time to know basketball coaching but recruiting, academics and running a program are foreign concepts. I think he gets over the Big John issue but he has need of a lot of luck - a LOT of luck. I will be rooting for him.

I remember when one of the business mags (Forbes, Fortune, etc) did a list of top 50 over-rated cities in America. During the dot-com era, so late 90s / early 2000s.

#1) Austin
#2) Boston

they did agree Austin is a fun college city with great music scene, but they questioned the hook em nation for proclaiming it be all that and a bag o' nacho chips

I relocated here about 5 years ago and the position being in Austin was a major plus in the pro/con decision equation. It is a neat place indeed and this will be my final landing spot.

Yeah, that sounds like something Forbes or Fortune etc would say.

Austin is a cool place to visit/be a student or go as a "last job" but IMO Houston is much better place to build a career.

WOW I didn't know he was currently employed. Unbelievable

I didn't either, figured he would be untouchable. Did the documentary present new evidence or something? Very odd situation...

He is still blaming others and making up stuff. I'd recommend watching it.
