Great post tuptiger
I'm amazed grown adults are posting about a college basketball coaching search that have no idea who Reggie Theus is

Theus agent is Atlanta based

Had Theus not jumped to be an NBA head coach and 2.2M annually he'd have left nmsu for a HIGH major program and people on this board would be salivating at prospect of luring him to LSU.

Haha thanks.....I just scratch my head trying to understand why people call out names like Donnie Tyndall when I know what Theus brings to the table
He was an assistant with the Twolves until this season, Rambis was fired so he wasn't retained.
Runner up for USC and Depaul.....name has been mentioned for many other jobs but my guess would be after having quick success in college, jumping to the NBA making 2M+ a year the man prob doesn't want to take a mid major job for 250K a year when his resume suggests he is a fit for a bigger job....who knows, maybe he had some insight that this would be Trent's last season likely and maybe LSU has been on his radar since last fall??

Unimpressive coaching record?
Took over the Kings, who had one of the worst rosters in the league, and improved 5 games his first and only full season....got off to a bad start in year 2 and was fired after 24 games...if you dig deep into his time with the Kings they were killed with injuries to top players and yet they still improved 5 games over the previous year.
NMSU (His only coaching gig in college as a head coach)
Year previous NMSU was 6-24 playing in the Sun Belt
16-14 his first year playing in the WAC (Nevada, Utah State, and Fresno all post season teams that year)
27-8 in second year, won WAC, lost by 7 in opening round of NCAA tourney to Texas (Durant, Augustine) and led that game with 6 min remaining
Had one year to fully recruit at NMSU and signed Herb Pope a top 20 recruit, Parade All American, etc
Absolutely the best fit for this job....he has the playing resume to have cred with the kids, coaching pedigree (asst under Pitino, very quick success at college level, and nearly 4 full seasons as an NBA coach both head and assistant)
The man got an NBA head coaching job after 2 total seasons as a college coach.....who in the history of basketball has done so?? After one season at NMSU he was a final candidate for Missouri, Michigan, and Arkansas jobs
Kings weren't only team to interview him, he interviewed for the Charlotte Bobcats job a month prior to taking the Kings job

Theus has family in Louisiana.....one side of his family is actually from LA
Assistant to Kurt rambis two seasons until fired in Minnesota...runner up for USC and Depaul jobs when they were open...finalist at Illinois this spring....would win and win big at lsu...guy is a recruiter on par w best in game
re: JD is saying that Reggie Theus is getting an interview
Posted by Btbgeaux on 4/8/12 at 8:46 pm to Captain Want
6-24 year before he took over..16-14 first season moving into WAC and 27-8 following year...good enough to jump to NBA but not good enough to interview at lsu??
Took new Mexico state team that was 6-24 in sun belt to 27-8 in WAC to seasons later including near upset of Texas in first round of NCAA....landed top 15 recruit to las cruces, nm over Pitt, Memphis, and Kansas...head coach of Sacramento kings after two years at nmsu....guy is a superstar at college level
Reggie theus perfect fit
