zenryan Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Well, GT vs Miami was a terrible basketball game. Awful charge call on Shumpert, but oh well, it's too bad either team gets credit for a win. I was praying GT would have comeback to win in hopes that Haith would have been fired tomorrow. GT goes 4-29 from 3pt land and lose by 2. Miami turns it over 29 times and wins by 2. What an ugly, ugly game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get you anyone in the city that you want. I'd love to talk to that person now and tell them congrats on making a pathetic hire who has no chance of exciting your fan base.

Obviously part of that has to do with the fact that there haven't been very many minority coaches that have gotten the elite jobs but it still is surprising that it is difficult to come up with a minority coach in either college football of basketball that has actually built or maintained a powerhouse.

Mike Anderson is probably the best black coach in NCAA right now, followed closely by Tubby Smith (who's yet to really do anything of significance at Minnesota and there's word he wants out after this year). Lorenzo Romar has been solid, but word is that he's about as dirty as there is in the college game (besides Scott Drew). Everyone likes him, but is Craig Robinson the most overrated coach in the NCAA? Oregon St. has been awful the last two years. Clearly, Paul Hewitt, Leonard Hamilton, and Haith need to be taken to the glue factory. Thankfully E. Kent got fired last year, as he was an absolute joke of a coach.

Stan Heath has been pretty horrid everywhere he went. He's at South Florida and probably should be fired but him winning 20 games and going .500 in the Big East last year probably bought him another 2 years.

Soxbadger Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rock, haha yah Im thinking there is a good chance OSU may come into the Kohl Center undefeated. Should be interesting because I doubt the refs would give Wisconsin to much home cooking. Theyll obviously really slow down the game and it will all depend on how Wisconsin can shoot the three. Should be fun and hopefully all these other teams stealing Wisconsin's style havent prepared OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add him to the list of despicable recruiters as well. He should have been fired for the Gus Gilchrist recruitment. Another one is Jeff Capel. How does he have a job after the Tiny Gallon recruitment? Capel can thank Blake Griffin for making a lot of money at OU. Edited February 4, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Saturday game for OSU v Wisconsin. And I always feel the problem with Depaul is that they dont play in the city. Out of sight out of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 DePaul gets some nice recruits now and then (list at the end), but never enough to sustain any success. Interestingly, many of them weren't from Chicago either. It's hard when the program hasn't done anything of real note since the early 80's. Moving to the Big East has been horrible for them, they just can't hang, and this may be bulls***, but I would think that not playing midwest teams in conference hurts their appeal a bit to the local kids. The off campus stadium can't help either, though supposedly the alums like it a lot because of a much easier commute. Some stud DePaul recruits: Quentin Richardson (5-star, Whitney Young) Bobby Simmons (high 4 I think, Simeon) Lance Williams (4 I believe, Julian) Andre Brown (5-star I think (McD's All American), Leo) Wesley Green (#44, Eustis Florida) Tyler Smith (#49, Baltimore Maryland) Jamal Nichols (listed as a 4 on rivals with no ranking, Philadelphia) Wilson Chandler (#44, Benton Harbor Michigan) Rahad Woods (#48, Westbury Texas) Will Walker (#95, Bollingbrook) Mac Koswal (#18, Boys to Men) Dar Tucker (#34, Saginaw Michigan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
