Great book, and Lee Rose was a great hire.

But given that football is more widely popular than basketball, this hire is still "greater".  National talk shows were talking USF today.

Since I posted the other book, which I have a few copies, including one autographed by many in the book itself - thanks to Tony, I thought I'd also post this book on a man so near and dear to our hearts.  I bought this book (which I haven't read) for my eldest son for Christmas.

The contentious nature with which this thread was initiated is unsurprising coming from a disciple of the legal profession, whose ranks these days seem increasingly to ignore the effects that actions can have outside of the realm of legality.

At least most law schools these days produce graduates who can wield grammar, manage punctuation, and practice some degree of discretion.

I think the world of you Brandon... and I know you're on the path to great success based on your career choices. However Smazza's grammar and punctuation haven't stopped the man from being one of the most financially successful alumnus on our forum. When your girlfriend is 25 years younger than you (to each their own), you have two Ferrari's parked in your garage (that you own outright) and your mailing address on your house has a 90210 zip code, poor grammar and punctuation probably haven't prevented that person from succeeding. We're not talking about someone that came from money either... he paid his dues.

The man is not afraid to work... and I can tell you over the years we have corresponded quite a bit at some obscene hours of the early morning while we're both grinding away in our respective professions. I understand not everyone measures success by how much money you make - but it sure is an easy indicator for others to benchmark from. Heck, isn't this the entire reason Charlie Strong fell into our laps. Coach Taggart saw value in a $3.5M contract per season from Oregon that USF just wasn't going to pony up and pay.

Absolutely, most people would not remember this but it was a very, very, big deal. He had just come off a final four appearance for Purdue. Got the program established with  Charlie Bradley and a few NIT appearances. 

Have to agree with CLR as the greatest "hire" to date

CB was in my sociology class. Great buy and a better baller!

He left just as I arrived. Wish I could have seen him play.

Here's a clip. My connection is slow today, so I haven't seen it all yet

Tonelli was an awesome disher, back in the day.

Have to watch it later, but man those tightie-whities are hard to watch!

Notice there's no 3-point line. Since we were in the Sun Belt, we had it for league play, but it wasn't yet across the board for the NCAA

Holy ****, thanks for showing this. Cutis Kitchen, greatest shot blocker in USF history and first USF player to play in NBA (Seattle). I remember Tonelli was also an asst coach under Greenberg I believe. That Charlie Bradley was something special.?
