2019 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

Vanderbilt basketball has a low ceiling due to the baseline benches and raised court.

It’s been 12 years since we’ve tried employing a coach with a winning track record. Kind of a simple step we’ve ignored.

Actually, Danny Manning had a winning record as head coach at time of being hired by Wake.

That's why I said winning track record, not just a winning record straight up. A winning track record is an obvious history of regularly winning. [Redacted] didn't have that. Manning hadn't be around enough. He had a track record as a winner based on his college career as a player.

You mean like the track record of one season at Ark Little Rock like Chris Beard had before Texas Tech hired him three years ago?

He had a track record of winning before Little Rock hired him.

From his Wikipedia page:
From there, he was hired as head coach at Fort Scott Community College where he coached the team to a 19–12 record and its first winning season in 8 years.[SUP][2][/SUP] In 2000, he was hired as the head coach at Seminole State College. In his one-year there he went 25–6 and finished ranked 14th in the country.

Beard also spent one year as head coach for the South Carolina Warriors of the American Basketball Association, where he led the team to a 29–2 record.[SUP][4][/SUP] In 2012, he was hired as head coach at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas where he spent one season. In March 2013, he was hired as the sixth head coach at Angelo State. In two years with the Rams, he went 47–15.
-------

To add, in that one year at McMurry University, he went 19-10 and made what I think is the NCCAA Elite Eight in their first season in Division II. The guy is clearly a winner.

Pretty ridiculous to compare his track record even before TT with a guy who went 38-29 at Tulsa.

Serious question... Does this mean that Oats is a proven winner because of his high school coaching record?
 
Yeah. The write-up on his high school coaching experience was very impressive.

Beard was also Bobby Knight's assistant at Texas Tech for ten years (including being Associate Head Coach). He was a natural pick for them.
 
Not really. Tulsa plays in a far more competitive conference than Arkansas- Little Rock in the Sun Belt. You are really going to count Beard's record in D3, JC and in minor league basketball? By that metric, let's hire a HS basketball coach with a great record. Worked well for Bob Wade at MD.

Let's hire Matt Lewis from Wisconsin Oshkosh. They won the D3 Natty this year.

Purdue's Matt Painter is another coach with a limited HC "track record" before getting that head job. He was a career Purdue assistant before coaching S. Illinois for one season. He then got the Purdue job. Tom Izzo's HC "track record" was 2 years of HS before getting the Michigan State head job.
 
Beard's single year at Little Rock was better than any year Tulsa has had since 2002 per KP and Little Rock's median KP over the past 7 years is 222.

hmm - Beard won the Sun Belt (outright and tournament) when it was ~18th of 33 conferences, and then won a game in the NCAAT

Manning won the CUSA (4-way tied for first, won the tournament) when it was the ~13th of 33 conferences, and then lost in the first round of the NCAAT

I'm not sure I would say Manning won a conference that was far more competitive than Beard
 
Manning had one good month or so at Tulsa. How can you all compare that to winning at several stops?
 
This may have been discussed and I missed it, but does JC have a track record of any sort of firing a coach midseason?
 
UCLA went after Cal.

UCLA offered Calipari a contract worth approximately $48 million over six years, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The contacts between Calipari and UCLA have been more extensive than previously reported, but Calipari told UCLA last week he is not interested in leaving Kentucky.

Belmont's Rick Byrd is retiring. One of the best. Lipscomb HC Casey Alexander is the reported front-runner to replace him; Alexander went to Belmont and played for Byrd.

It will never happen, but it would be nice if we fired Woodberry and offered a boatload of money to Byrd to come on as assistant.
