Jerry Bush coached for nine years in the 1950s and '60s without a winning season. But a group of boosters liked “the Big Bear of the Coliseum'' so much that after a 1959 win over Missouri, according to research by historian Mike Babcock, they bought Bush two TVs, a stereo and a dehumidifier.
Overall, Osborne has paid close attention to the influence of AAU coaches on recruiting. “There's nothing illegal about that,'' he said. “But most everybody in basketball today decries that the high school coach is not nearly as influential as the AAU coach.''
Players who give great effort and good coaching are important, Sundvold said. “But coaches can draw up all the plays they want and it doesn't make much difference,'' he said. “Remember, Bob Knight coached in this league, and he didn't win anything.''
Or this?QuoteOverall, Osborne has paid close attention to the influence of AAU coaches on recruiting. “There's nothing illegal about that,'' he said. “But most everybody in basketball today decries that the high school coach is not nearly as influential as the AAU coach.''
What a gold mine in that article.Sundvold with a gem:QuotePlayers who give great effort and good coaching are important, Sundvold said. “But coaches can draw up all the plays they want and it doesn't make much difference,'' he said. “Remember, Bob Knight coached in this league, and he didn't win anything.''
Has Osborne studied those schools for clues on a turnaround?“Not particularly, no,'' he said. “It's more about what we're doing here.''Overall, Osborne has paid close attention to the influence of AAU coaches on recruiting.“There's nothing illegal about that,'' he said. “But most everybody in basketball today decries that the high school coach is not nearly as influential as the AAU coach.''.... Osborne said some AAU coaches demand payment for their “recruiting service,'' which he said “may just be a mimeographed piece of paper with phone numbers.''Other AAU coaches, he said, want invitations for high-paid speaking engagements at university clinics, or they demand fees to participate in certain tournaments.Said Osborne: “The question is, ‘Do you want to go down that road or not?' Doc has not done that. We have not paid the large speaking fees, and I admire him for that.“I'm not saying that's why we've never had a national championship in basketball.

Know the real reason I hate Currie? Because he is going to ditch us and Grandpa's going to get wheeled upstairs so he can drop quotes like these: QuoteHas Osborne studied those schools for clues on a turnaround?“Not particularly, no,'' he said. “It's more about what we're doing here.''Overall, Osborne has paid close attention to the influence of AAU coaches on recruiting.“There's nothing illegal about that,'' he said. “But most everybody in basketball today decries that the high school coach is not nearly as influential as the AAU coach.''

Good thing is I'm pretty sure the chances of Snyder agreeing to be AD would be about 1%.Trim and I both agreed during the game that he needed my boys to be over kicking his chair to get him out of his seat.

Its becoming pretty clear that Doc may have tanked this season to try to get himself fired and thus get out of Lincoln. And I couldn't really blame him if so, no way he's going to do anything as long as TO is AD there.

Do you think Te uses his money on like a top of the line mimeograph machine? I bet the think is fracking chrome plated!

PFFFFFFFFTUm, do you remember the type of players he had during the DOD? OB wouldn't get his hands dirty in the AAU system, but he would gladly let a coach go that route for wins. But yeah, he's never going to be AD.

PFFFFFFFFTUm, do you remember the type of players he had during the DOD? OB wouldn't get his hands dirty in the AAU system, but he would gladly let a coach go that route for wins. But yeah, he's never going to be AD.Is the implication here that Warden Tom ran some boy scout troupe out on the field? The problem is that they are old dudes barely able to follow their own blackberry. The concept of AAU might be a little much to introduce at this late stage.
Koppe is a giant idiot bad person for sure but he's nowhere close to as big of an idiot bad person as others.To my knowledge Koppe has never bought an adult trike or talked to a dog whisperer.
Have it on pretty good authority that OB wanted Sean to be the AD post-BK Broiler. If that had happened, OB would literally die on the sideline - no way ANYONE could have gotten rid of him.
