Predict the Next Coach Pool

[Walter]

Murray State is killing Tulsa. They are a good team.

Watching this game I really want Prohm now! They went zone, Tulsa got a easy layup, they went to man on the next possession. Unheard of....

Ok, Young and Brown are now at the top of my list if we can't get Prohm, Hurley or anybody else I previously said I like.

Best thing about this process is all of the coaches mentioned so far can out-coach Hewitt in their sleep. No matter which one we eventually hire, we're all but guaranteed to have an upgrade.

Exactly. All things being equal, I hope we end up with somebody who can keep Gilbert.

Wait wait wait....so ur saying they switched their defense?...during live play?...without calling timeout?....and it worked??? No way. No freaking way a coach can get 5 college players to make an adjustment...during a live ball.

Agreed. There hasn't been one guy seriously mentioned that I'm saying "I don't think that will work." Everyone is a risk to some degree.

These teams are going hard. Gotta believe the pace will slow in second half.

Would love to see a Murray State vs Miami match up, with Prohm stomping OCM on the way to Fairfax.

But first, Murray State vs ODU

Arledge with a game-winning layup after nice post move.

They got Arledge. We got Thompson.

Just about the only time we won anything during the Hewitt Error.

I get this vague sense that gmujim didn't enjoy the Hewitt regime as much as he could have.

Wait a minute - Murray State fans actually think their schools is a better job than Mason? We are a large residential University not located in the backwater of some small state. We can double their coaches salary and put him in one of the best counties in the nation. Their fans are deluded.
Not to mention we are a conference upgrade.

Prohm has finished first in his league four years in a row - just one NCAA trip though because of one slip in the conf. tourney and it's not at-large. I'm sure after this final frustration, being nationally ranked and undefeated during conf play and still not getting a bid, he's ready to move on.

AND we have the McRib from McDonald's an average of once every two years, Murray, KY: every 9 years. Not even close.

Prohm should just look I at McKillop and Davidson as a prime example of this in action.

BBB better have two young ladies and a fifth of 20 year old scotch waiting in his hotel room after this game.

I wonder what Wijg thinks of this.

I had fallen in love with the Howland idea. I knew that might be a stretch, but one can dream...

On the negative side, and I know I'll likely get shot for bringing this up, but if any of what Jim was hearing was true, I wonder if we had pulled the trigger on Hewitt earlier, if we could have sealed the deal with whoever we supposedly had a verbal agreement with. It would have been nice to have done so before the market heated up for good coaches and we end up in a bidding war or, even worse, being used as a pawn by our target coach. If the guy really wasn't coaching at the time, no reason a deal couldn't have been inked before our competition started firing their coaches. The wait, along with the rumors has me a little concerned.

On the positive side, there seems to be a lot of good coaching talent out there that is being talked about. And, If our target all along was one of the coaches that just finished playing, there is no way we could have signed a deal early.

I guess we may never know who the original target was, if there was one, and that may be a good thing... Bottom line, I am just waiting for the announcement to see who we land and hoping the longer it takes that is not a bad sign. Rushing our last pick could have been partially (or mostly) to blame for the last bad choice...

Fingers crossed...
