Van Gundy says good things about Ben Moore and SMU

Post by slapon »

Watching the Pacers Knicks game tonight and at the 8:50cst point in the game had a lot of complementary things today about Ben Moore and SMU basketball players in general.

Interesting in that Ben hasn't seen the court for the Pacers yet this season. Van Gundy might have watched a lot of G league games last year or was impressed by him in the summer league?

JVG coaches the USA national team for qualifiers, and Ben was recently named to the team USA roster

I think thatΓÇÖs what it was. He saw him during the league games and said that he could do it all, he could rebound, pass, shoot and defend well at the professional level. He then went on to complement SMUΓÇÖs players in general for having the same skill sets. Later, during the game he complemented the AAC as being a really good league.

Anyone think JVG would make a great college coach? Maybe somewhere in the south? Like.... south of Lovers Lane?

Nah.... who would ever think an ex pro coach could rejuvenate a floundering college program?

Or the GuVanners and have someone dress as Bill ClementΓÇÖs. That could get us shut down for good.

Can we just hire the guy and figure the rest out later?

The SMU powers that be have clearly shown they really care about the atmosphere at Moody so it's never to early to start working out potential details of a hire.

The Larry Brown hire demonstrated it takes a "name" coach for SMU to compete for top talent. Hope I'm wrong and Jank can lead this team to a strong season and pull in a strong class for next year, but if not...need to hope the money men are willing to pay what it takes to convince a big name to take over the program. SMU hoops has a much better chance of competing at the highest level than the football program does.
