Martin and NVE would be interesting if nothing else. You know they would care and be passionate about it. I wouldn’t hate it. It’s definitely outside the box

I've heard Terry Nelson mention this in two seperate interviews. (Martin being the HC and Van Exel being his assistant).

I know those guys talk, and I'd be shocked if Terry would put this out there publicly if Nick was trying to land the HC job himself.

I could be wrong, but that sure sounds like the plan, or pitch they're trying to sell.

Don't get me wrong, Mick Cronin is a decent coach but there's plenty of argument to be made that it was time to move on.

Also, you have zero clue just how good are next coach could be. They could very well end up being more successfull here than Mick. At least give them a chance.

PS Quit focusing solely on win totals. You completely ignore the strength of the OOC, and the strength of the conference over those 3 years. Don't tell me a coach that *only* wins 75 games over that same 3 years and advance further in the tournament isn't the more successful coach.
Yeah Mick the decent coach that just went to the final 4 and is ranked number 2 in the top early top 25 lmfao. Mick is a great coach who just couldn’t land recruits at UC

Sure hope Nick comes along if true. We are going to need some big time recruits to help with lack of HC experience. I would think with NVE on board we can put in a higher octane offense. And they are both familiar with the toughness it takes. Bring in one more X's and O's guy and it could work.

I do think a modern xo guy with analytical approach is needed on this bench...

I'm good with the hire if we can get NVE here... Biggest concern would be style of play vs modern hoops.

Erik Martin could be an absolute disaster.

But I will support him.

If he does fail. We can finally put this Huggins era to bed.


This is the ultimate gamble.

I’d have taken Archie, tang, gates and others over him.

But at least he ain’t a Xavier guy

Any hire could be a disaster. This is surely taking a chance.. let's see what happens.
