[QUOTE="CEB, post: 939371, member: 4905"] Two of the best things I read; 1. Acknowledging NBA and college are very different. “Duh,” but I hope that isn’t lip service. There is not a lot of crossover coaching success to point to. I know he left college game for his NBA shot, but I hope his coaching “fire” is rooted in the college game and all that goes along with it. For better or worse, he has little HC experience in either spot, so I don’t know if he should be classified a college guy or an NBA guy. I hope he really wants to be (and understands how to be) a college guy. 2. Talked about hiring good people who make you better and fill your holes. That’s key for everyone and in my opinion, critical for him. He really only has about 4 years of relevant experience (nothing wrong with that, we probably weren’t getting a super seasoned guy regardless) at Pacific. He has obviously been around the game all of his life and has been around some good coaches. I have no doubt he knows the game, but I expect a learning curve. I hope he surrounds himself with people who temper that. The last thing I’ll say wasnt quoted from CDS, but I like the fact that he never left a place because people wanted him to go and it sounds like almost everywhere he has been would welcome him back. I know everyone tries to be gracious when parting ways but what I’ve seen with regard to Stoudamire seems genuine and that is really reassuring. I am cautiously optimistic. I have fears that limited experience or NBA mindset or “recruiting fixes everything” could rear their ugly heads, but on the flip side, this could be a diamond in the rough hire. So far, what I’m hearing seems encouraging. [/QUOTE]
