I thought Skip was a Wake Forest kind of guy. I think Shaka might be. Brad Stevens, too.
aight time to leave another hard day at work and get drunk, peace out bredren
I know Marshall reneged on the C of C job, but other than that I can't thing of anything negative. Sure, he's an asshole, but so are most great coaches.
So is it even clear whether Hatch met this prospective Coach in Winston-Salem or could it have been some other destination such as Richmond. Could Hatch have been seen on campus this am and then flown to Richmond and met with Shaka for an interview and then after the interview Shaka goes for a run to think things through.
Can you clarify what a "Wake Forest kind of guy" is?

I think that at Wake Forest you have to truly want to engage academically. that is what we are about. Now even if you are Rodney Rogers and certainly marginal academically, and one knows you are not going to graduate but go to the NBA, do you want to engage academically and grow. It is about personal growth. IF you are not interested in academic life and just want to major in pre nba, you just are not going to like it. Jabari Parker I'm sure has engaged academically at Duke. So it is not just a wake thing, but with our size it is a big part of the values of Wake
I know this much: the Wake Forest Way is to gossip rampantly about coaches' drinking problems/marriage problems/insert vice here problems AFTER they've left MSD - not before. Bad SkinsNDeacs. Very, very bad.
This post is what a message board is all about.
Marshall would be just as good of a hire IMO.

Before you do that, can we bring bish into the Marshall party?
IIRC Claswon was interviewed at his kitchen table.
[Redacted] accepted the job before ever stepping foot on Wake's campus.
In Coaching searches you go to the candidates or a neutral site usually close to the candidate. You do not make the candidate come to campus.
