The worst part about it is its not a thing. Had he said reservation at least he had an excuse. And no one would have cared.

How did you become his messenger? And why does he love Gates so much?

Twitter is my guess
I also believe he does not like gates and will complain about it to anyone that will listen if the hiring happens

BC has made it clear that they are trying to preference a minority coach. Blauds has now deemed the coaching search not "real" because they haven't considered a white coach with a losing record. Nice.

I would take Duquette back as a lead assistant but that's about it.

HJS {l Wrote}:I'm bored and in the absence of news from BC (or fictional "news" from bloggers), I'm curious as to what hire would get people to care.
In synthesizing the litany of names mentioned (while adding a few additions), I came up with (alphabetically): Steve Alford, Tommy Amaker, John Becker, John Beilein, Randy Bennett, Brett Brown, Bill Coen, Ed Cooley, Tom Crean, Johnny Dawkins, Jared Dudley, Howard Eisley, Dane Fife, Travis Ford, Dennis Gates, Anthony Grant, John Groce, Frank Haith, Paul Hewitt, Mike Hopkins, Bobby Hurley, Frank Martin, Gregg McDermott, Archie Miller, Wes Miller, LeVelle Moton, Richard Pitino, Mike Rhoads, Mark Schmidt, Micah Shrewsberry, Brad Stevens, JTIII, Kevin Willard, Jason Williford and Wojo.
I would place each in the following buckets. This isn't what I think will happen, just my initial reaction if it did.
Home Run: Beilein, Crean, Grant, Martin, AMiller, Stevens
Excited: Bennett, Cooley, Dudley, Eisley, Haith, Hopkins, Hurley, McDermott, Rhoads, Willard, Wojo
Skeptical: Alford, Brown, Dawkins, Ford, Gates, WMiller, Moton, Shrewsberry
Disappointed: Amaker, Becker, Coen, Fife, Groce, Pitino, Schmidt, JT3, Williford
Quit the Program: Hewitt

HJS {l Wrote}:TRE is on point and kinda why I made the post. Everyone is disappointing because most of the names or some combo of: (a) no interested, (b) damaged goods and (c) cost too much. Essentially, people here have reduced the job to a pecker fight among 74's Gates, ATL's Coen, Ty's Schmidt and eppy's Eisley. Wake me when the next hire is fired.

Point of order. I would prefer to roll the dice with Eisley, but think Schmidt is a very good coach and better than all of the non-home run hires that have been proposed. While Eisley isn’t a home run, he intrigues me, especially if BC invests in assistants and facilities in the bargain.
