Billy Gillespie would actually be a perfect fit here. He worked wonders at Texas A&M, another school that doesn't give a shite about basketball unless they're winning.
He's an alchi and a poor people's person, but a really good recruiter and coach. He was a terrible fit at Kentucky, where you have to be a greasy tool bag recruiter and glad hand the boosters constantly (see Calipari, John).
Did you read what you wrote? A bad people person is the opposite of what we need here.

Randy Bennett at St. Mary's would be the best hire in my opinion. He's worked wonders at a nobody program, by leaching off of Gonzaga's success in their conference. He's developed under-recruited kids like Omar Samhan, Patty Mills (lighting it up for the Spurs now), and Matthew Dellavadova. He's also got some weird recruiting connection to Australia, which produces decent college basketball talent.
Bennett is a good coach but he's probably a bad fit. Don't see that Aussie connection translating to the SEC.

I don't really think that LSU basketball needs a glad handing guy like Calipari or Dale Brown. They just need a winner. Winning puts fans in the seats more than being Mr. Community Nice Guy.
I, personally couldn't give a shite if a coach goes to a bunch of middle school and gets kids excited about playing basketball, as long as he wins games.
Getting Aussies to go to Thibodaux works for Nicholls State? Why not here?
