Can anyone find me the coaching bio of any D-I head coach that doesn't make that coach sound like the best thing since sliced bread?  I mean, seriously.  I've read probably 30 bios over the past couple of months, and each one of them made the guy sound like the next John Wooden.
So, can anyone find me a coaching bio that says "Our coach sucks" ?

 :rolleyes:

Coaching Honors:

West Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1992; Four NCAA appearances (3 at WCC School in 1991, 1992 and 1994) and one at BCS School(1996) and four NIT appearances, 2 (1989 and 1993) at WCC School and 2 (1998, 1999) at BCS School; Won three straight West Coast Conference regular season titles and three conference tournament championships at WCC School & finished 2nd the other 3 years he coached there; Had four 20-win seasons of the 6 he was at WCC School; Head coach for West Team at U.S. Olympic Festival in 1994; His BCS School team led the nation in opponents’ field goal percentage, holding them to a national low of 37.1 percent shooting; named 1993 District Coach of the Year by Basketball Times.

Misc Career Notes:

Won 38 straight West Coast Conference games and a remarkable 25 straight road games; Coached NBA’s Doug Christie; Among his coaching strengths has been his teams’ defensive play. In 1999 BCS School led the nation in field goal percentage defense and his BCS School teams led their conference in field goal percentage for four years in a row, in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999; 2004 NCAA tournament appearance at BCS School.

The WCC record sounds eerily similar to Mark Few, doesn't it?

He's coached NBA players...he goes to the tourney...he wins 20 games a year...his teams play great defense...and I hear he's got KSU ties.

Hire him!  Hire him now!

i've warned people before about mentioning doug christie.  how goddamn long is asbury going to live off of the glory of having once enticed a future nba scrub to the university-on-the-beach?
