[QUOTE="Techster, post: 939392, member: 360"] A few things gleaning the interwebs about Stoudamire: 1. Very well liked everywhere, and has good relationships with everyone. Being liked isn't a necessary trait for on the court results (see: Bobby Knight, Gregg Marshall), but it tells you the kind of person he is and the impact he has on people. That will help in building relationships in recruiting and keeping players in this age of the transfer portal and NIL. Put it this way, at all of his coaching stops, no one was happy to see him go. After going through the Brian Gregory and Josh Pastner hires, GT fans know about hiring guys who were probably on their way out at previous stops and fans thanking us for taking coaches off their hands. 2. No one questions his tactical acumen as a coach. In fact, it's one of the first things people talk about Stoudamire. There's a reason why Udoka wanted him to leave Pacific to join the Celtics, and why he was a candidate to take over the Celtics after Udoka was let go (for off the court indescretions). Also speaks to how highly he's thought of when he took the reigns for 2 games when the Celtics HC was out (Stoudamire went 2-0 as the interim HC). He is well known for his defensive X's and O's. 3. He can develop players. That was one of his primary jobs for the Celtics and Udoka. Player development is why he was able to turn around Pacific...and their fans raved about it. From interviews, he prides himself on player development. That's going to be an important piece at GT. 4. He will need to recruit at a high level at GT, and so far it seems people think he will do well recruiting for GT. You never know until it happens (remember seeing Pastner as a strong recruiter from Memphis and assistant for Calipari?). [/QUOTE]
