Strickland is not alumni.

He played at Pittsburgh with Harris I believe... He went to Dematha years before whitt went there. He was also on Wootton's staff at some point as an assistant, but I don't know when. He was the head coach at Ravenscroft some point in his career. Was head coach most recently with Coastal Carolina.

why is he a good pickup

5/9/2006 2:18:59 PM

he has head coaching experience at the college level... plenty of high school connections. Has connections to our coaching staff.

5/9/2006 2:20:09 PM

high school connections? with who?

5/9/2006 8:28:31 PM

Dematha, for one. They're one of the best high schools in the nation for producing college talent.

5/9/2006 9:51:45 PM

I think he was only the coach at Ravenscroft for a year or two, i am a 'croft grad, and went there for 10+ years and don't really remember the guy, think he was there in 85-86ish

Strickland was also an assistant under Purnell before Clemson...at Old Dominion and Dayton.

5/9/2006 10:21:22 PM

^^^^as i said before, when at Coastal Carolina, he would scout the high school teams at the Beach Ball Classic there.....so that's at least one avenue

To quote myself:

Quote :

"Strickland coached at Old Dominion. He was head man at Coastal Carolina for like 5 years too. He went to Pitt and played with Coach Larry Harris. Also played high school ball at DeMatha High School where Morgon Wooten scores and is probably the best bball high school in the country. Jordan Collins went there with Keith Bogans."

Suspend nutsucker.

5/11/2006 11:25:42 AM

Ah, shit.

5/11/2006 11:36:44 AM

WTF....Raleigh is like 2.5 hours from Myrtle beach. Fuck that shit.

5/11/2006 11:37:57 AM

^Ahhhhh...he's in DC???

5/11/2006 11:41:44 AM

Damn is this official?

I was hoping for him.

Now who will it be? Vinny Del Negro?

5/11/2006 12:12:15 PM

Look at former dookie David Henderson. Him and Lowe are pretty close. He was an assistant under Coach K for a number of years and then coached Delaware up until about two months ago where he was fired after a below average 5 or 6 years.

5/11/2006 12:51:13 PM

^I've heard that as well...


I was really hoping for Strickland.

5/11/2006 12:53:31 PM
