[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1631343, member: 746590"] Who would be considered an "exciting" hire as an assistant coach? Would that be a hire that you know their name? A coach that commands a high six figure salary? A head coach that got fired from somewhere else and got a job as an assistant? The assistant coaches are supposed to be an extension of the head coach and they do the recruiting grunt work. BU hired a guy with Big 12 and ACC coaching experience, who's young, is from a basketball rich area of the country and has formed relationships through the years of his coaching career. If they paid him 1M a year, would he then be exciting? I think that we've gotten waaaay too tied up in this assistant coaching search. At the end of the day, this is BUs ship, he knows the direction he wants it to go and he'll hire who he feels fits best. Now, not sure that it's exciting, but it's good business practice. [/QUOTE]
