[QUOTE="vadimivich, post: 549536, member: 2338"] But if we're going to be cheap, then be smart about it. Being cheap and hiring the Gregory and Pastner types of the world guarantees you will suck. Be cheap and hire one of the young crazy G-League coaches who are trying insane stuff. Hire a European coach who wants to break into USA basketball. Roll the dice on an assistant off someone's bench who isn't "ready" yet, but might be in a few years. Yeah, they probably won't work out ... but at least there's a chance you strike gold. What's the worst that could happen in those situations? Somehow worse than what we've had with the Gregory/Pastner poo-poo platter? And seriously looking at it ... the only two successful coaches GT has ever had (Cremins & Hewitt) both came from 1 bid leagues where they weren't exactly high profile names, and came for cheap (App Stat and Siena) and were very young (34 and 37). What's wrong with trying that again? ANNNNNNYTHING would be better than whatever led us to hiring Brian Gregory. Hiring a staff completely from this message board would have been a better process.
