Wes Miller named Head Coach at Cincinnati

Here is one for the what if crowd. We should have fired Carl Tacy and hired Bobby Cremins from APP State when we had that chance. The rest is history.

I'll play. This would have been a net negative for the program. Actual events played out better for us at the beginning and end of his career

Starting at Cremins' first year, Tacy then went on an impressive run (4 consecutive 20 win seasons when that meant something) that included "Retire Meyer" and an Elite 8.

Certainly the Staak era would have been better with BC. Cremins was at his peak here and we were at what I thought at the time was our nadir. Little did I imagine we had 2 Staak level coaches coming in a couple of decades.

Odom overlapped with late stage Cremins and we were the better program during this time.

So I say nay to your hypothetical mack.
 
I really cannot believe that Wes Miller published a book, called it "The road to Blue Heaven," and that people actually bought and read the book.

What if we hired Odom when Tacy stepped down and just skipped the Staak era altogether?

I think his recruiting would have suffered until he was potty trained, but once those initial growing pains were out of the way the sky would have been the limit.

I think we should have fired Tacy the day Wes was born. Hand Wes the keys then. We would have a 1,200 seat arena and minimum of 15 natties by now. What could have been...
 
I’m sure that Donald’s copy has big passages underlined and highlighted and that some of the pages are stuck together

I am surprised that 13 people would buy it. It’s gotta 13 different DR aliases, right?

Fair assumption. Gotta factor in parents and grandparents maybe. Not sure if that's two or four. Maybe an ex girlfriend trying to jump on the gravy train?

True that.

And, to be clear, Wes never wanted a family. He’s all in for coaching hoops over having kids. He reaffirmed it this time publicly in his presser. He’s married to basketball. Everything else is priority #2.
