Completely playing devil's advocate here because there is ZERO doubt that Stevens is quite impressive, but I think some of our fans would not particularly care for this:
"75] Accordingly, he developed a strategy of always remaining calm and focused during games. He rarely raises his voice or gets emotional, instead quietly observing on the sideline with folded arms.[76] He does not get upset about bad calls by referees or player mistakes, preferring to focus on "the next play" rather than what just happened."
Our fans have been begging for a coach who would work the refs for years and many will suggest that he exhibits Sendek-like qualities in this regard." |

Problem with the last coach was that he was too much like a best friend to his players. Let's go after a guy that chest bumps everyone in the locker room. Let's also say that guy isn't emotional enough. Basically, let's contradict the fuck out of ourselves. 3/20/2011 7:14:03 PM |

I definitely feel like if we swing for the fences in an attempt to get a homerun hire (Barnes, Miller, etc) we are in much better hands with Yow to at least wind up with double (Smart, Marshall, whoever else) than we were last time with Lee Fowler where we struck out completely.

Sid didn't get the money that was been rumored to be thrown around to Barnes and Calipari...I'm sure he'd get a smaller contract.

The man's been to the Final Four and now is in the Sweet Sixteen...at freakin' Butler. I don't care if he is naked on the sideline. The man can coach.

Add Shaka Smart to the 2nd tier/mid-major candidates list. Was an assistant under Donovan and is only 33, and runs a pressing, up tempo system. VCU is reaming Purdue right now.
Maybe becoming the hottest mid major name right now (excluding Brad Stevens)?

Jim Larranaga was old as dirt when he made his run (and did nothing before that year). Shaka Smart at least has a high upside and has been an assistant under solid head coaches at major programs... 3/20/2011 8:50:04 PM |

He's never finished higher than fourth in the Colonial!
He's only been a head coach for two seasons!
He's playing with Anthony Grant's recruits!

Either way, hopefully it won't come down to Yow having to make a decision one or the other about Smart...meaning we get one of our top choices. 3/20/2011 8:58:02 PM |

Last time we had no shot a good hire, this time we do.
Last time our ceiling was lower, so was our floor, our floor was Sid.
This time our ceiling is higher, so is our floor, our floor is Smart.
That make sense?

"Look at the speedy point guard of his attacking Purdue. Just think what he could have done with Javier Lopez!"
-Mike Gminskiism
Not saying we should turn to him right away but a name to add to the radar screen. I'd rather have him than the other coach from Richmond. Also recognizing that in most cases coaches at major conference schools come from mid-majors. Also worth noting that good mid-major coaches don't usually stay at the mid-major level for long (notable exceptions out there led by Mark Few).
Chris Mack is another 2 year high mid-major coach we could get. Xavier seems to do nothing but serve as the farm system for high major head coaches. 3/20/2011 9:08:35 PM |
