Brian Randle, Phoenix Suns assistant coach. Like many alums, he's been mentioned constantly on these threads. He does at least have high-level coaching experience, but zero experience recruiting.Pardon my ignorance, but IDKWTI. Please inform.
He was not offered the job.Was it confirmed that Greer was even offered or just another rumor at there?
What am I missing?
We lost AJ Storr and the way Underwood is building this up could set us up for a big let down. “Blow your mind” to me means people that should be taking NBA gigs or head coaching gigs in college. We shall see….Underwood searches for third Illini assistant as Alexander marvels about promotion
Geoff Alexander joins former Illini guard Chester Frazier, who was hired this month, as the team's second full-time assistant.www.stltoday.com
Underwood said he’s received calls from around the country regarding potential candidates “that would blow your mind,” as he evaluates what’s best for the program. However, he said he already knows what Alexander will bring to the team and mentioned that Alexander’s “loyalty” is a big factor in his promotion.
“I haven’t taken it as a negative. I’ve taken it very much as a positive,” Underwood said. “When you got guys going to Kentucky and a guy going to Gonzaga, it’s like ‘Damn, we have great people.’ And yet all of the players stayed and they believe in what we’re doing and they believe in where we’re going. Now for me it’s been like, ‘OK, I’m going to miss them all, I love them all to death, they’re all family, they’re all a part of what I’m damn proud of in terms of what we’ve built after four years.’
“Now, let’s go do it again.”

"Blow Your Mind" to me would have been: Danny ManningBrad Underwood isn't responsible for the scenarios you create in your mind.
This almost has to be the case, at least if we're to believe the recent "blow your mind" claims when coupled with the interminable length of this coaching search.What if ....... (Out of Respect to All Parties and Professionalism)

Confidence in JW and BU!
The more I think about this, the NBA route may be a good idea. Look at recent successful recruiting at other schools - Memphis with Hardaway, Michigan with Howard, now IU has Woodson, even Nebraska has a top 20 class coming in with Hoiberg. Have we perhaps been losing recruits to programs that could sell the NBA pathway better than we could?What if ....... (Out of Respect to All Parties and Professionalism)

Brilliant.since BU doesnt talk to recruits, lets network you to a bunch of nba coaches who can sell you on our elite program and create a path to the prosThe more I think about this, the NBA route may be a good idea.

Still beating this? People are going to call him what they want to call him. Let it go.During Alexander's press conference, he clearly never said Chet, but always referred to him as Chester. I think we can put that name thing to rest.

I mean definitely not totally against this route if they want to take it. It would be nice to add someone like Irvin to Geoff's now vacated seat and let that person act as the third recruiting assistant for the next month or so when recruiting is vital but NBA playoffs are not done.The more I think about this, the NBA route may be a good idea.

Thought the same this morning. Tried to find his salary, but found nothing definitiveI am not at all suggesting it is a possibility, but someone like Adrian Griffin would not only blow my mind, but also be kinda funny.

Well the Celtics are floundering...Brad Stevens!
Don't get people worked up. Would be very mind blowing as he seems close to getting a chance at being an NBA HC. You know they are familiar with each other and Adrian had a lot of positive things to say about Brad previously.I am not at all suggesting it is a possibility, but someone like Adrian Griffin would not only blow my mind, but also be kinda funny.
