getting some of these decision makers and money donors to understand that being a sports alum doesn't guarantee that they're a good coach doesn't work


You think they’re always worried about their past hero being a good coach? If he is great, but even if he isn’t they still feel warm and fuzzy inside

Start a list of alums that didn't work out as coach of their school.

Hubert Davis, UNC
Johnny Jones, LSU
Tennessee women's basketball hired 2 alums after Summitt retired and both got run.

I don’t think this is a very good hire. The guy has only coached 2 seasons and you’re keeping it in the family of a program that has been mediocre for a long time. Even the last years of Boeheim weren’t great.

It's been about five years of mediocre. That's not a long time.

Great hire he did an incredible job turning around one of the worst jobs in CBB in just 2 seasons and what he did against Duke made it even more obvious he can flat out coach
