Title: OFFICIAL KU COACHING SEARCH THREAD
Post by: Pete on May 07, 2020, 05:49:19 PM
Now that it's becoming clearer that the NCAA has no intention of allowing Bill Self to coach in college basketball for the foreseeable future, it's time to turn our sights toward the next regime. 

Who do you guys got?

Saw a poll of college coaches picking the coach most likely not to cheat. Oscar was in the top 10, but Beilein won by a mile. He's also doesn't finish last in his conference.

I came across a job opening the other day that I think would be perfect for you! As I am sure you are aware Kansas State University now has a vacancy for their position as head basketball coach for their men's program.

With your history of success at Milwaukee and the University of Tennessee you would be a perfect fit here. To top it all of your good buddy from your days at rocky top, John Currie, is now the Athletic Director at Kansas State.

I look forward to seeing you in purple body paint soon!

That's Hayden High School legend Mark Turgeon, you are speaking of.  A Topeka HS basketball hero and part of Larry Brown's first recruiting class. Legend has it that Larry gave Turgeon a "one year shot" to earn his spot for future years. Oh man, would this guy pack the building with Beak 'em Hawks sweatshirts or what!?!?!

It's ironic that in Lawrence that Pollard carries more baggage for smoking pot than he ever did for giving that SUV to one of the Morris twins (then used to party with teen girls below the age of consent).

Heir apparent is Mark Turgeon.  Very few crimson and blue faithful would object to his hire.

Ben Meseke was Mark's high school coach.  He told the story at a coaches clinic that Larry asked Mark why he should recruit him, and Mark said without hesitation,  "Because I am  better than anyone you got on the team right now."

In 20+ years as a head coach, the Turg has two Sweet 16 appearances (including 1 in 9 years at a pretty good program in Maryland). I'm not sure the KU fanbase would been keen for even a home-grown coach who's never done anything truly significant in 20+ years.

Only if they give him a show cause. They can withstand a year long suspension, especially if they have a corresponding postseason ban. Self suspendst for a year or even two is much better than whatever else they could get otherwise.

Yeah, unfortunately we may not get the Kansas University coaching search that we all want.  This upcoming season would be the absolute perfect time time just eat it and take a huge one year suspension.

I expect KU to fall into the trap of believing the program is bigger than the coach. They will look at how they didn't miss a beat losing Roy, Ohio State football didn't miss a beat losing Tressell, and believe that they will easily be able to hire another basketball coach who wins the Big 12 pretty much every year and isn't also a national disgrace and embarrassment to their program.

they could be right.  The number of programs that give even a small crap about this sport is dwindling so getting a top level coach and recruits gets easier, not harder.  I would think it's worth the risk versus the reputation as the dirtiest school playing the sport.
