Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[michigancat]

Hey man, it takes time to go through Frank's files on USBL legends, fired DOBO's and NJCAA Div II assistants.

what on earth

cRustyMichButtHurt

[michigancat]

Well that's probably a good point cRustyMichButtHurt.

Who did Frank actually have to go out and hire? 

Evans, anybody else . . . the names are so unimpressive I just can't remember.

But you're just making crap up.

[ChiComCat]

I think there is a big difference in hiring a whole new staff and plugging a hole in a staff.

[pissclams]

looks like the much anticipated cRustyMichButtHurt v. dax throw down has finally arrived

cRustyMichButtHurt claiming dax is fabricating events, how does dax respond to cRustyMichButtHurt?

[pissclams]

dax responds by spitting multiple factoids right into cRustyMichButtHurt's facial cranium zone 

[michigancat]

Oh, okay, so Evans, Figgers, Assaley and Underwood and company have some sort of super secret but highly impressive resume/bio's out there then.

Evans had not one seconds worth of Division 1 coaching experience prior to being brought in by Frank as as graduate assistant. 

Underwood was hired by Huggins, his previous coaching extent was 2 Juco's and Western Illinois.

Figger started out at basketball titan South Alabama, and was canned with the rest of the staff at Arkansas where he was the DOBO . . . great run Pelphrey and company had there.

Assaley was a gofor for Huggins.

Figger left Arkansas before Pelphrey coached a game there. Even if he hadn't left that early, I don't know why it should prevent someone for criticizing Weber's staff.

[pissclams]

cRustyMichButtHurt surprisingly returns for another salvo of daxwiches 

how will this end?  who will concede? 

[wabash909]

I'm pretty butthurt over the strength and conditioning tool we hired compared to Greenawalt.  Add that to the heap.

[ChiComCat]

I think if you want to compare staff to staff completely out of context, Dax has a point.  But there is context and we were successful with Frank, so he gets more of a pass

[michigancat]

Everyone knows that #teambutthurt stands at the Pulpit of the Church of Frankite as they criticize Weber's staff.  Criticize all you want, just admit where you're coming from when you do it.

Everyone that Frank hired or promoted was a collection of nobodies in relative terms.

That's true, but Frank rough ridin' had Dalonte Bagman Hill on his initial staff which gives him a pass on the other coaches at the times they were hired. If Weber had landed Howard, or even Forrest, no one would be criticizing this staff.

Yet we all know what happened there, and Frank replaced Dalonte Hill with .  .  . ??

While it would never have happened, because Frank himself was a nobody without Bob Huggins, but the thought of Frank Martin having to build an entire staff from scratch is absolutely horrifying to contemplate.

Again, the remaining staff had proven itself to be successful, so it's fine taking a risk. (And the risk appeared to be paying off.)

who gives a crap?

[michigancat]

The remaining staff had no horsepower to overcome the bridges being burned IMO. 

Craps are given because #teambutthurt forgets how Frank got set up early and often.

Yeah, none of us remember the circumstances that led to him getting hired you moron.

[catzacker]

The current staff being equal to or less than as bad as the most recent staff that Frank had should not listed as a positive for Weber.  Overall, if you looked at Frank’s initial staff vs. Weber’s initial staff, Frank’s wins every day of the week and twice on Sundays, even if it’s just because of ‘Te. 

[michigancat]

nobody has revised crap

i think what you meant to say was that nothing should be listed as a positive for weber.

Uh-huh

Any word on the two interviews that are supposed to take place this week?  Any insight on who they might be?

P.S.  If there is no word, can somone make something interesting up?  At least until there is some real news breaks.   

[catzacker]

Oh and Zacker . . . Frank didn't hire his initial staff, except for one guy . . . the list of nobodies is hard to keep track of. 

We can disagree, but I give credit to Frank for keeping ‘Te.  He hired him.  ‘Te had the option of KSU or West Virginia and chose Frank.

[Stevesie60]

This isn't the same since pissclams quit narrating it.

Let's be real here, Te chose $400K.

I'll make something up:

The two guys he is going to interview this week are oscar Shingler and Mo Hicks. 

Most know oscar as the former DCA alum/coach and K-State Admin Asstiant, who left to lead Beasley's entourage and is now an assistant at Morgan State.

Hicks is the former Rice/Gouchos coach who sent several players to K-State including current players Southwell and JO.  He is currently working on the St Johns staff along side Weber mentor and K-State alum Gene Keady.  He's DOBO there becuase you can't hire a standing AAU coach and have them recruit right away, but I'm not sure that applies if he's hired away, or how long he has left.

Curtis Kelly says "why not?"

Weber could do something similar if he wanted. In a way, overpaying for Lowery was kind of similar

True, but did huggs offer him 400k to leave for WVU?  That's actually another reason that Frank should get credit for 'Te.
