I think Jason is a great assistant, but that's what it is. I don't know if he would be a good head coach or even if he would want to be a head coach. Some people just aren't "called to be a head coach."
At this point, I think we need an assistant and not some former head coach failure, sloppy seconds with high expectations.
sloppy seconds are the worst... let alone thirds and fourths

While we are at it lets hire Ed gomes and Peter Aluma :roll:
You're right. Let's hire Billy Gillespie and have him leave in 3 years when he wins a couple games.

The last few candidates from last time around:

"Barber has contacted former New Mexico coach Ritchie McKay, as well as Auburn assistant John Cooper, South Carolina assistant Rick Duckett, West Virginia assistant Matt Brown, former Seton Hall coach Louis Orr and Washington assistant Cameron Dollar."

There wouldn't be a better guy for our program. He is a top notch person and I think the players would warm up to him very quickly.
Once you go from the men's side to the women's side, it's nearly impossible to come back.
i thought you worked for football? Now your a great basketball mind?

I meant in the job market. I wasn't talking about the game itself. You don't see many coaches going from the women's game back to the men's. And since everyone likes to drop that they talked to a coach, I'll jump in and say I did too.

What i mean by this is, which maybe this should be one the Football page, but we can never hold great coaches for long... example the assistant football coaches that left, heck yea, good for them that they are moving up to big and better things, but will we ever be those bigger or better things...

All i'm saying is Rocco is going to be getting so bigger offers than Army in the future... same with McKay... Do ya'll think that they love LU enough to stay and build are programs to something greater than it is? I'm not a hater of either coach but do ya'll think that if they get a big enough offer that they'll stay?

Sorry i'm UNC Basketball fan for the reason, Roy Williams is taking a pay cut for UNC when he could go to any other college and make an incredible team...
McKay would be the one to worry me. I mean he is averaging just over 2 years at each coaching stint and is in his early 40's. He just lost 3 of his starting 5 and 4 of his 8 minutes guys to along with another really young team next year. Rocco is pretty stable with the team he has now I think and will stay to enjoy it for awhile (granted a big time D1 program would be tough to pass on for any FCS coach).

See the post from the 25th of March. Second time I called it (Curry and McKay).[/i]
