Are you really going to get that big of a difference maker in a non recruiting role?If it was my decision ... Yes ...
Mainly because I know who could replace him ...

The two profiles that jump out to me in that role would be either a grizzled old coach who doesn't want the grind of the recruiting trail any more, or some NBA wonk-type who wouldn't be a strong recruiter but who has a lot of knowledge about ball.Are you really going to get that big of a difference maker in a non recruiting role?
I agree. I think the ideal situation for those spots would be older guys that aren't gunning for a promotion/HC gid. They would either be an excellent game planner/schematics guy that just doesn't want to deal with recruiting or someone great at developing skills.The two profiles that jump out to me in that role would be either a grizzled old coach who doesn't want the grind of the recruiting trail any more, or some NBA wonk-type who wouldn't be a strong recruiter but who has a lot of knowledge about ball.
HamerAnon is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on this board, but it's true that that role is an opportunity to bring in someone more qualified than him or Tyler.
The idea basically is that you differentiate and specialize the roles as much as possible and throw resources at getting the best people at all of those specializations, with the challenge being management of a lot of different people doing a lot of different things toward a coherent common purpose.I agree.

Honestly you could even make an argument that if the guy was good enough a dedicated shooting coach would of wonders for the guys you can get into the program and keep for 3-4 years.
Nobody really comes to mind that would be a slam dunk hire that would be interested in it(Obviously I would take Jay Wright but he's got a cushy gig and seems happy).
Think he needs a new agent who is a bit more subtle!
Yeah, I honestly suspect most people's issue here is that this is getting out in the "open" or whatever, and our pride gets bruised a bit and/or people start to unnecessarily worry. Again, our fan base was straight-up COCKY circa 2006, haha ... we still have way too much of the psyche we inherited from 2010-2019, IMO.Agents are paid to not be subtle.
When the expanded coaching limits got announced, the first thing I thought of was to hire two Wayne McClain types who have decades of success and experience coaching. Find experienced HS coaches who win because of X's and O's and motivation since they don't get to pick their players.The two profiles that jump out to me in that role would be either a grizzled old coach who doesn't want the grind of the recruiting trail any more, or some NBA wonk-type who wouldn't be a strong recruiter but who has a lot of knowledge about ball.

Young folks understand the analytics and algorithms of the new era. The Wayne McClain types would still be judging the number of stars.When the expanded coaching limits got announced, the first thing I thought of was to hire two Wayne McClain types who have decades of success and experience coaching.

Maybe you see a young guy who checks every box but if they've never coached before you never know how they will respond. And I think Big Ten schools can afford not to take risks on first timers.
With regards to Tyler, as much as I don't like the nepotism angle, he's basically been groomed for this his entire life. Just like a son taking over a family business, sometimes great success and sometimes the opposite.
Am I missing something? I am pretty sure that his 27 year old kid was the guy behind our Top 5 KenPom offense!It's clear BU is attempting something like this. I wish his 27 year old kid weren't guaranteed a plum role, but such is the quasi-feudal world of college sports I guess.

I mean, if Tyler was as instrumental in the offensive scheming as some have let on here, then he's clearly not the problem. Given our offensive performance this past season I'd take him 10 times out of 10, coaches son or not.The idea basically is that you differentiate and specialize the roles as much as possible and throw resources at getting the best people at all of those specializations, with the challenge being management of a lot of different people doing a lot of different things toward a coherent common purpose.
Nick Saban 101.

that’s a home run for USC, right? if he could recruit 5* players to Arkansas, LA will be an easy sell
Lincoln Riley was a home run hire there… also had the top player in the country. not great results so far.that’s a home run for USC, right? if he could recruit 5* players to Arkansas, LA will be an easy sell
He told them thanks but not thanks literally 2 seasons ago.I'll continue to aggressively cross my fingers Tang doesn't leave KSU for Arkansas nor anywhere else.
I don't think Brad's going anywhere but I'd be hard pressed to imagine anywhere that would swing harder than K State and we can all pretend based on hopes and dreams that he wouldn't at least entertain it but living here in reality, like, of course he would. When home comes calling rarely does anyone simply let the phone ring.
I remember.He told them thanks but not thanks literally 2 seasons ago.
you're probably right. regardless, I like to see 5* players and exciting teams in the B1G. Muss will bring in big time talent that we will get to see play in ChampaignLincoln Riley was a home run hire there… also had the top player in the country. not great results so far.
Because of all the factors around usc sports, basketball I think will be the same. They’ll get a lot of hype and high expectations but won’t really do a whole lot.
