The Search

Well, Valpo just blew a 16 point lead*. Wonder if they will hang on.

*Game is still going on and I know it's just one game. Just a bad omen imo.

Sadly I agree, kinda reminds me of watching a BG lead GT team blow a big lead at half because they couldn't counter the opposing teams adjustments. Unlike when I watched Capel outcoach BG this year when he adjusted and Duke destroyed us in 2nd half.

There is a big part of me that says get Capel bc you know he can recruit atl and nationally. His x's and o's are good enough.

My choice between the two would be Capel bc I feel his recruiting potential is greater.

Dammit Valpo won

Between the two
I choose Drew
But let's be real
It should be Enfield.

You just want a view of his wife at the games

I'm glad MBob didn't judge Gregory on the UVA game we won or he might still be the coach. Meanwhile Valpo won its 29th game of the season tonight.

I thought the NIT was meaningless l

 

[KeystoneJacket]

I honestly I have no feel at all for Drew. If it's really down to Capel and Drew, I'm leaning Capel.

In reality it is but you don't coach a team to a 29-6 record by accident.

Or 30-6.

 

[Ibeeballin]

Or 30-6.

Exactly but it appear to fall on deaf ears and blind eyes to some

And you don't? Have you met Dottie?

 

[YlJacket]

I don't think it is falling on the deaf and blind. I haven't really seen anyone say hell no to Drew. Several are like me that would prefer Capel but if it is Drew I ain't charging the AA in protest.

 

[Ibeeballin]

30-6 was Capel record at OU 08-09 season, but majority of what get mentioned is the last 2 seasons

Capels overall record at both VCU and Oklahoma isn't that impressive.

BG would disagree

I'm not very excited about either guy honestly. I would be okay with both, but I would really prefer Chris Mack, Archie Miller, and I really wouldn't mind Jay Laranaga at all. I know he's a "stretch" or a "risk" as some would say, but the guy can coach and I'm sure he's learned something from his father. Those would be my top 3 at this point since I've been doing some research today. If we're going after someone with no experience in a big conference I would rather have a guy with NBA experience than a guy with small mid major experience. MBob has done a really good job with this in the past, so I trust him to make the right choice. We need it.

 

[Ibeeballin]

What reference you are using when you say Laranaga Jr. can coach?

 

[RamblinCharger]

Him leading a D league team to the most wins in it's history and the most call ups in D league history. Also watching the Celtics play... He was a candidate to replace Doc before they got Stevens, so I'm just assuming he can coach based on those clues.
