Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[pissclams]

will someone please rank the Big 12 DOBO's in order from best to worst? 

[Dr Rick Daris]

I just think its nonsensical that you guys are making Weber out to be Wooly part 2 when that clearly isn't the case.

oscar weber has been the head coach for a month now and in that month i'm pretty sure that you are the only person that made him out to be "wooly part 2". so unless you typed "four weeks ago" into your time machine, while simultaneously seeing double and looking in the mirror, you can kindly cut the "you guys" crap. thanks.

Weber and Wooly were both fired.  So, they are same. 

Also, I really like Tommy Wade as Director of Player Development at OSU.  dude is a stud DPD.  Big get from Oklahoma City University.  Jerry Johnson is a $$ DOBO at UT.  Old as crap, but good in his day.

I will go ahead and say weber will never win more than 10 games in conference while here.

[wetwillie]

Are we getting zeigler or did he opt to take a job in conference usa too?

Counting '12-'13?  Wow.  I disagree, but props for sticking your neck out.  I think we'll do quite well next season, I'm worried about what the culture of his program will be after Rodney is gone.  Rod is an old soul, when Will is the leader the year after next if afraid we'll turn Charmin soft.

But there is something be said about actually coaching teams to the NCAA tournament multiple times. You can even throw out the 1st 2 seasons at Illinois if you want. I just think its nonsensical that you guys are making Weber out to be Wooly part 2 when that clearly isn't the case.

I've never said he's Wooly 2.0. I think he will do far better. I think Jank would, too.

...but let's be clear - if Wooly were taking over now, Wooly 2.0 would be better than Wooly 1.0.

run the triangle like a boss

can a treacherous coward lead a team?  who would be left to run from and to stab in the back if they're all following?

Mark Fox v. Jank v. BDub

Price as Director of Basketball Operations. It's a good deal for us, keep him the eff away from recruiting.

[IlliniTillIDie]

Really nice of Weber to keep that loser Price out recruiting for us when he clearly isn't qualified for the position.

This is great news for you that this guy won't be out there alienating recruits.  The downside is that he is an arrogant cancer who will still be spreading lies and misinformation to people who think that they have inside information and therefore believe it.

Your biggest obstacle in the Weber era will be dishonesty and disingenousness from him and his staff.  They cannot sit back and rest on their record because they will grossly underachieve on their own merits.  They have to constantly manipulate and spread disinformation and blame the fans, AD, and most of all the players while all the while planting stories about how in demand they are  as coaches.  They have been unable to stand on their merits since 2005 when Deron Williams left.

I wish the best of luck to you sorry saps.  You need it with that incompetent fool on the sidelines.

From what I understand Price hasn't accepted the position yet so we may dodge a bullet if he's really as cancerous as he's rumored to be.

He was offered the position almost immediately after Weber was hired and it's been, what, 3 weeks now and he hasn't made a decision??

Lol.  I'd be pissed too.

I think it's a positive that even after all that's gone on in the asst. coaching search, Price is still not getting a spot other than DOBO.

I'm fine with him as DOBO.  I could care less who that is.

But you should. As we all know too well, those are the guys that often move up into AC positions on the staff when another AC leaves.

Weber has had plenty of chances to make him an AC in the past month, and yet, he hasn't.  But he has offered him a DOBO position.

Why would that change in the future if he's not making that concession for an unemployed Price now when he has an open spot to fill?

Look, I get it. My point was that, in general, the DOBO position isn't as obsolete as you are making it. Offering it to a young up n' comer would be a better move than an assistant he is giving a pity offer to. That's not to say that there isn't something to be said for loyalty but this is a business and regardless of the restrictions on DOBO's they are AC's in waiting and contribute behind the scenes.

KU had Barry Hinson (sp?).

So, it's not always for up and comers.

Agreed, but a lot of times it is.
