He's got the Valley pedigree. He wasn't even good his last season there.

Or is he a SLTH?

sys · « **Reply #1 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:03:23 PM »

recruits ok. wins. is at a school with a decent bball budget.

same thing that separates all non-slth coaches from slth coaches.

Yeah, hiring an AAU coach to obtain a recruit pretty much eliminates you from SLTH-dom.

Turg also played for a big time program. Most SLTHs did not.

You guys are full of crap. Turg is a SLTH all the way.

Turg has made the tournament several times

Made it to the second round the last four years, with a Sweet 16 appearance in 2007. Not very SLTHish, IMHO.

He's won enough. very slthy style though. More mid majory.

catsdo · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:59:45 PM »

He lost to our non-SLTH coach by 23.

Cire · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:02:53 PM »

we've destroyed them 2 times in a row in the ood. I think we just match up really well with them.

Kat Kid · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:03:46 PM »

we need either another SLTH definition thread or a goEMAW wiki entry.

What the shazbot! does SLTH stand for?

Totally unelite to ask I know.

Dugout DickStone · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:06:33 PM »

Jacking up 3's in close game with under 2min isn't SLTH.

As has been noted, SLTH status is determined when the prospective SLTH is a coaching candidate, not when he's a coach.

theKSU · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:16:31 PM »

SLTH's don't make it to the tournament, and they definitely don't win games in the tourney.

True. Taking a mid-major to the Sweet 16 eliminated Turg from SLTH status when he was hired at aTm. JMHO.

kcchiefdav · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:20:49 PM »

He's automatically eliminated because other head coaches never talk about what a good guy he is or how much they respect him.

Why would it? According to conventional wisdom, nothing says solidness like success at a mid-major.

Most of these definitions amount to nothing but SLTH = a guy just like Wooldridge. The concept is so much broader than that.

slth, mlth. Mark Turgeon is a FP.

Kat Kid · « **Reply #23 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:32:08 PM »

Let's make this official!

SLTH-

mvc call-up
kansan
ugly
Sweet 16 cinderella
running second/third best program in state considered rousing success
has complained about "youth"/"injuries"
mediocre record despite huge investment

Non-SLTH-

AAU aware
possibly slimy
pretty good recruits
talent/underachiever as opposed to no talent/overachiever
has facilities/budget
other coaches dislike him/rarely praised for SLTHy things

Would like some more discussion about what the destination job says about the coach? Can a coach be a SLTH in non-SLTH clothing? For a big time AD is a Frank Solich/Turgeon a SLTH? Lot's of discussion/definitions that need to be revisited and delineated here.
