Larry Brown?

[The PonyGrad]

can we all agree that I broke this story and deserve your adolation??

you're welcome.

What's an adolation?

Money talks. I think the donors have seen what happens when you pay assistants good money. I'd assume they'd pay these assists even better when Brown leaves or get other well paid heavy hitters if they move on.

No doubt, and I think Maligi is a guy you groom. I'd say Howard, but he wants to be on an NBA bench sooner than later. The beauty of Crum right now, is that Brown's coaching tree is deep. If someone left, bump up Eric Snow, maybe Hobbie. Both Duncan and Stoudt have bright career. There is some untested depth

9. Larry Brown, SMU. The landslide winner for weirdest hire of the year, will septuagenarian Brown make this odd move pay off? The man certainly knows basketball. But he’s been gone from college for ages and was famously impatient with pro players – how is he going to handle the modest assemblage inherited here?

The good news for many of you, is if Larry Brown is hired, I'm done. Tired of being a joke, and that hire is a farce. Great coach, but a horrible idea to build a program long-term. He'll quit a year into the Big East and we'll be sitting here again, in no better a position

i beg to disagree.

I'm not ashamed of that post, I knew more about the search than most all combined. I fed the services all their info,and it was an orsini debacle. Had I known who he was going to hire, ie assistants,, or the team assembled around him to pick the assistants, I wouldn't have come on so strong. I was also really loud about brown cutting 5 kids and costing us a bunch of wins last year,

I think even Brown has said that he probably cost the team some wins by cutting those players.

The leslee smith cut was just silly, especially when you see his numbers in the big 10

I think hoopmanx was echoing the sentiments of a lot of fans when he made that post. I know the first thing I said when we fired Doh was, "We better not go hire some old guy." Lots of people were wrong on this one. Thankfully we're not in charge.

[mustangxc]

Even those of us that were on board with the higher from day one could never have imagined it working out as well as it has. I don't think anyone saw this coming.

I don't know who has the time to search and dig up these old posts...wish I had that kind of free time!

But thanks for reminding me that I was the "source" of the breaking news...LOL

[SmooBoy]

This thread is still classic. Yep, he's obviously too old to win and will quit after one year.

I think losing Bernardi was much more important. Kid would be huge for us this year if he were still here.

[LA_Mustang]

LB wanted Bernardi to stay.

There's not one person that could have predicted things would have turned out like this. I guess something to be thankful for when the next wave of Peruna's Law comes into effect
