Wojciechowski, 37, was a Duke guard from 1994-98 and has been on the Blue Devils' staff since 1999. He has never been a head coach at any level. … Washington State hired Ernie Kent, who four years ago was fired by Oregon. Ken Bone was fired. From 1997 to 2010 Kent took the Ducks to five NCAA Tournaments, including two trips to the Elite Eight. … IUPUI hired former Arizona star Jason Gardner as coach. Gardner was a Memphis assistant. … New Mexico coach Craig Neal signed a two-year extension through 2019-20. So, Marquette is talking with an Assistant coach? Holy crap. USF is being roasted by some for doing that. The Marquette people must be going crazy. IUPUI is talking with a Memphis Asst? Wow. What are these schools thinking talking with assistant coaches? Couldn't they get Bruce Pearl, Billy Donovan, Roy Williams? These schools must be completely crazy and have no brains at the AD or school President positions. You should see the Marquette forums. People are very, very upset. There's even a "RIP MU basketball 1970-2014" thread. http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43472.0 Edited April 1, 2014 by Pyotr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 4 years with 2 NIT 1 NCAA and another over .500. Is that too much to ask? That would be the most successful 4 year run in usf basketball history. I am fully aware. Rinse, repeat Double post!

Never good to compare one's program to IUPUI. Actually I'd love to get Stan Heath on staff...he'd be a fine asst coach for Memphis.

Shouldn't take much to get a statue erected (lulz) of yourself outside of the Sundome what other shcools consider marginal success, we would consider program-changing. Good move for an aspiring coach. He has a pretty good setup here for success, since "success" will have a pretty short measuring stick at USF MBB. What a great time for him: in the Final Four and soon to take over a program with a lot of potential in a decent basketball conference. He'll bring that post-season hunger with him, I just hope it's contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so much talent in the state both HS and JC over these next few years, that a go getter like Coach O has to be licking his chops and can't wait to get started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
