You are obviously entitled to your opinion, but I see nothing but upside with this potential option.
This would be a home run hire and IMHO....could work out even better than the aborted Masiello hire.
Excellent recruiterGreat X's & O's guy
NBA experience as a head coach, scout, assistant
Family business: hoops is in the family's blood
Experience as P5 conference assistant has given him a great apprenticeship for the college game
Reputation as a great TEACHER of the game that gets the most of his players.
If I am Perry, Egbunu et al I am salivating at this possibility
Another great thing about this guy is that his pro background would work really well with the dynamics of having to coach a college team in a heavily saturated pro market. He will essentially run this program like an NBA team which would be appealing to recruits. This could be a Larry Brown type of hire with the ability to turn this thing around quickly by taking advantage of existing talent base, great facilities and University. He just needs to fill in the holes with recruits on twitter who are already saying that USF would jump to the top of their list .
If the college basketball gods on Mount Olympus have any mercy and sense of decency.... please let this rumor be true!
I would 100% support this hire. Which recruits are saying USF would jump to the top of their list?
