I hear you on the March success issue, but if you're not making the Tournament you're losing a lot of games. I'm as pissed as the next guy about the early exits, but getting to the tournament means we got to watch our squad consistently win...which i'm not so keen on giving up for a sweet 16.

Would you take making the tourney every single year like mick has, winning the league and conference tourney a few times as well but having just 1 sweet 16

Vs


having Frank Martin... Who's been at SC for 6 years and missed the tourney in 5 of 6 years, but made it to the final four 1 season?


For me... i take Mick all day long.. Because I enjoy being relevant every year.

Can we move the Mick comparisons to the Mick Cronin thread?

Exactly.... As a season ticket holder, I've been able to watch Mick's team kick ass for multiple years running. Its fun.

Makes sense, they're in the same city as Lipscomb. Makes you wonder if we even reached out though.

He also was an assistant to the retiring coach.

Here's a name that is very interesting to me: Jon Scheyer.

Former Blue Devil and current Associate Head Coach at Duke. HE is young, disciple of one of the greatest coaches of all time, and he is tied immediately into the top levels of the recruiting circuit. While I'd love to go after a proven winner or big name, I think Jon is poised to create something special when he becomes a head coach. He is from Illinois so knows the Mid-West.

There isn't a "Home-Run" coach out there who would consider UC. There is no such thing or he would already have a job this far into the coaching carousel.
Also, if Scheyer doesn't work out or completely flops, we can cut ties and get into the carousel earlier in 2-3 years.

Here's the names listed that I would NOT even consider:

Any current coach with a buyout over one million

Rick Pitino - that show cause penalty is hanging out in the open, ready to drop

Nick Van Exel - not certified at the collegiate level, cannot interact with recruits until he gets it. Wish he had it and was tied into AAU. He can get both to make himself ready collegiately or stay in the Pro's

Darren Savino - He may be ready, but the program needs some fresh blood.

Maybe Savino goes with Mick to LaLa land.
