Reynolds: Coaching search...

[shaunguth]

Agreed completely. I really like some of the names that are getting associated with our opening. If we land one it'd really take a lot of the bad taste out of my mouth.

I agree.....love seeing these names interested in the job. I'll be disappointed if we don't go big with this hire.

To add to that comment- Once we get someone hired, I guarantee the positive vibes on this board will be overwhelming we'll wonder if this still is bradleyfans.com. Regardless of who they hire.

Then we'll have a defection or three, and the nervous nellies will start chirping.

This thing will take a while, but after enduring 2 straight season sweeps at the hands of lousy ISU teams and finishing last in the Valley, anything will be an improvement.

Great post. The solution will apply for the job.

How about Chris Collins? I bet he can recruit nationally. That is what BU needs is a coach that can get into any household regardless and make a pitch. We can always shape the staff with assistance from the mid-west.

It's rumored that Coach K will not let his assistants leave for a midmajor job. He will only let them take majors, and only when he thinks they will surely succeed. Collins and Wojciechowski have had several offers and have turned them all down.

While that doesn't surprise me, how can he really control that?

The same way Bruce Weber kept Jerrance Howard from taking the UIC and other jobs. He just say no, then raises their salary a couple hundred thousand more.

I guess I would call it bad news, but a bunch of guys on this list were eliminated from their conference tournaments. I wonder if they can take a day to interview before they prepare for the NCAA's. Lusk, Gard, Neal, Howard, etc.

[lake Camelot]

Option

What about Paul Hewitt ?
Just fired by Georgia Tech.

[lightsout]

"Hewitt was able to attract future NBA players such as Chris Bosh, Thaddeus Young, Derrick Favors, Jarrett Jack and Anthony Morrow to Georgia Tech."

If he can recruit players like that to BU!

[Da Coach]

Do we want somebody else's castoff? Someone who just failed elsewhere and was fired?
I don't have a favorite, but I don't think the powers in charge would hire a failed coach from another school.

[lake Camelot]

I would take Hewitt,Capell, or Lickliter
Cast off or not.

I think it definitely depends. There are plenty of coaches capable of regularly coaching a mid-major team to the top third of their conference while struggling to do the same at high majors.

If not, I am all for being patient if that is what it takes for us to land someone like Lusk or Gard.

Yeah, but regardless of the salary increase, can a coach really keep an assistant from taking any job? In other words, doesn't their contract have to spell this out?
