Jesus Christ people!  Who the hell did you think we would really get?  We have no players, no history, etc.  Right now, this is a huge challenge of a job.

Some of you think we can just go out and get anyone we want.

Heath had some good recruits.  Big mistake firing him.  That's what happens when the President who is an old lady gets to fire the coach.  She said at one time he got fired because he played boring ba

Since 1990 we have had 20+ win seasons twice.. Brian Gregory has won 20+ six time since 2003. While he may not be the superhero we want, he may be more than the one we deserve. Give him a shot.

What's Doug doing these days? Harlan is just clueless when it comes to basketball hiring imo. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Gregory is half the coach Heath was. I'm gonna wait and see what his assistants look like but Bartow would have been a better hire since Gregory is the best a sorry AD like Harlan can do. 

Vega, I didn't think Heath was all that hot of a coach. I think he was carried a bit by Hispher. I'd love to see what we can do with a full squad, and I hope that Gregory can stock us up. We need a squad full of players that play with a chip on their shoulder.

I don't like this hire at all.  Gregory would've been there a month from now so I have no idea why there was such a rush to make such a uninspired hire? Why not wait a few weeks for some teams to get knocked out of the tournaments and make some calls and at least see if you can get some better candidates on campus?  The only way this hire makes sense is 

-Harlan has tried to make some back channel contact to other candidates and nobody is interested (totally possible with the dumpster fire this program has become)

-The athletics department is in deeper trouble financially than we know and they need that $500k supplement from GT to foot the bill 

Both of these are totally realistic but I think you at least have to test the market a bit because Gregory isn't exactly a hot name right now....

In addition to the reported Gregory hire, @USFMBB expected to retain Murry Bartow in some capacity. Has a year remaining on contract.

I'm not either.  I don't care about the wins/losses.  I think a guy getting ACC Coach of the Year, considering the other programs in the conference, in his first year in the toughest MBB conference in the country, is a pretty big deal.  GT was picked to finish last in conference and they exceeded expectations thoroughly.  

I don't know how you can be labeled as "taking a step back" when you exceed expectations.

USF will certainly have low expectations like GTech...here's to 17 wins and AAC COY!

Compared to one conference win this season? I'll take that.

I'm being serious...17 wins at USF next season would put him in serious contention for AAC COY.

no, you hired the guy who got Pastner ACC COY....it's really not a bad hire...esp if Bartow stays on as an Asst.
