You made a nonsensical attack out of thin air. I showed you why your point was wholly without any merit or logic and this is your equally silly response?

So, let's dispel the notion that:
a) UNC has settled on Miller as the successor to Roy
b) Miller will have multiple Power V offers to choose from
c) The "train has left the station" for WF to hire Miller
Those who took time to get to know the coaching candidate through the interview process might be in a better position to assess strengths and weaknesses than the rest of us. Would have been nice to learn that he doesn’t do well in owning coaching mistakes.
His entire history before reaching Wake was hard work and being a basketball lifer. Your position is completely absurd and invented.

There is a lot of basketball left this year to build up or tear down the coaching resume, but DR has managed to create a lot of buzz on this board for a decent candidate, but Miller is really just another possibility with some positives and negatives among many potential candidates.This is just where we disagree and where Wellman screwed up with Manning. A couple Tulsa players got hot and “on paper” Manning was a great hire? No way. What you are saying is that if Francis Alonso throws the Spartans on his back, hits critical 3s and the G goes 16-2 and wins in Asheville, that now its ok to hire him??
The reason we want Wes is we have actually watched him for 20 years.
He is:
1) Competitive as heck
2) Very smart (knows the rules too—unlike Dopey)
3) Outworks everybody. All basketball all the time. Works the European YouTube videos for recruiting 365.
4) Classy
5) Loves the ACC and the ACC tournament from his youth as a Wake fan
6) Loyal as hell, and unlike some “on paper” hire who has accomplished things at Oregon State. If Wes wins here—he’s staying.
If hiring a coach was all about the past, we’d hire Bobby Knight. It’s not. It’s what you will accomplish from 2020-2050. This isn’t a hard decision. We know who will have a long and successful career in the ACC. It will be Miller.
John Becker from Vermont, keep an eye on him.
I mentioned him in the last thread about coaching candidates. No one seemed to be on board with that. My wife is a Uvm alum and from vt. So I follow them. They play good basketball. He'd be a solid get. Don't know how he'd recruit
I’d prefer that we not limit our search to former assistants and legacies. Better chance our best option falls outside that group than within it.

Let’s make sure we understand your position. We shouldn’t give the job to a former assistant or someone whose father went to Wake—even if they are the best for the job.
Recruiting is a significant part of being successful as a P5 coach. Schools like Wake need to consistently pull in guys rated 25-100. The top 25 will end up blue. Wake isn't a blue. The new NBA proposal may change this situation by taking the top recruits directly into the pros following HS. Getting multiple top 100 talent players every year and keeping them on campus is one way to successfully compete with the blues.
