So why is basketball subject to such control and football isn't? Clawson picked his assistants.

I think now we have 2 head coaches who are doing their own thing and are not consulting RW at all on what they are doing.
Coach Claw has total control and is also a helluva fundraiser. I don't believe RW was going to get Danny Manning and tell him who he was going to have as his assistants like he did [Redacted]!

Last I heard he was managing a store similar to Dairy Queen. So he was at West Forsyth this season?

You are clearly not an epicurean if you confuse Dairy Queen and Dairi-O.

I guess but Childress is still on staff.

Larranaga got transfers we could never get from Kansas State and Texas. Take away those and that's the prime two players they have. I'm sure McClendon and Rodriguez are bastions of academia.

You're judging this based on what, your intimate knowledge of their studying habits? Their transcripts? Some sort of telepathy or psychic ability?

Well his son is also coming here. Not that he is a top 10 recruit, but still.

His intimate knowledge that players good at basketball can't possibly be good at academics.

THE RON WELLMAN BRAINWASHING.

what utter tripe

 

[Fuck Your Couch]

Everyone thought that 5 man recruiting class that fuckstick inherited from Dino was super awesome, so Ron Wellman bent over backwards to keep the assistants, esp. Battle, to try to keep that class intact and it worked that all 5 still came despite a coaching change.

It was the second time a few years that a shortsighted coaching move was made over a single recruiting class.

The Bz "keep all the assistants" was one. What was the other?

Give Dino a long term contract instead of an interim tag to keep the ATT class.

You mean the thugs that Dino recruited that made it necessary to change the culture of the program?

 

[Deacsfan27]

The prevailing thought at the time was that if we just kept the athletes and brought in a head coach with good X's and O's then we would be set.

[deaconson]

From the Memphis Grizzlies page about [name redacted]:

Q: Do you think you’ll still watch a lot of college hoops now that you’re a full-time NBA coach?

JB: I love the NBA – I don’t not like college basketball. I only left the NBA after my stop with the Denver Nuggets for a family health issue and now that is behind us, I am excited and grateful to be back in the NBA.

Not one mention on the entire page about his time spent at Air Force, Colorado or Wake.

And this may be why he never was a good college BB coach. Apparently he really didn't have the mindset for dealing with college kids and all that goes with them.

 

[PhDeac]

Yeah. It's crystal clear now that he only coached college basketball to stay close to Denver for his daughter's treatments and to be near here in college. Good dad. Horrible college coach.

Yeah, but he also most likely ruined her college experience in the process.
