[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 691977, member: 2299"] I could be mistaken but I believe most basketball assistant coaches are on 1 year deals in which case the only real increase in spending would be any increase in the yearly pay. In any case even if we are planning to make a hire after next year the problem with switching coaches is that it is unpredictable by its very nature. Look at UGA. By most accounts Crean should have been a good hire, and he's looking at 4-23 in conference play inheriting a program that had won at least 7 conferences games in each of the previous 6 years. Even if we land what looks like a good hire, there is a level of uncertainty that will always be there. Nobody should want to go through a coaching change. Sometimes it's necessary but if there is an option that could potentially make it not necessary then it's usually worth looking in to. It's not like this team is all that far away from where it needs to be in terms of play on the court. We need more depth, which should somewhat be addressed just through the numbers of losing 2 and adding/returning 4. We need to address the offense. Bringing in an assistant that could help transition the offense to be more centered around creating open looks from outside vs working the ball in close could make a big difference, as it probably fits our team composition better now where as the former style fit it better when we had Lammers/Gueye inside and Jackson/Okogie slashing. Is it guaranteed to work? No. But the cost seems pretty low for the chance of being able to avoid the need to switch coaches all together. [/QUOTE]
