Yeah, and it's basketball not rocket surgery. This upcoming season was going to be transitional in nature regardless of who's on the staff.
Rocket science + brain surgery = rocket surgery?

The Last Dragon... one of my favorites...What's the movie where the protagonist is eating popcorn with chopsticks? It's a bad 80's movie, I remember. Bruce Leroy!!
No, I would say the difference is ineptitude at the top.
Me, reading this thread rn
I just heard from a source that we'll be hiring Dennis Gates and Shane Heirman, getting commitments from Mark Smith, Tugs Bowen, and a 5th year C/PF, and running roughshod over the Big Ten next year.
BUT THEN, I heard from another source that Jamall Walker hasn't been announced officially because he's defecting to Missouri after all and taking Tilmon, Smith, and Da'Monte with him. Gates and Heirman are not interested according to the second source and our actual staff will consist of Thomas Walkup and a former student manager from SFA. Third assistant (our "Chicago guy") is purportedly a can of cream of mushroom soup with eyes and a mustache drawn on it.
We'll see which trusted source hits closer to the mark.

Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays.
My goodness there are some mamalukes on this board. Would love to see Powell on the staff. He could really resonate with in state recruits. Would be a dynamite addition.
I'll beat this drum with you. I think it's worse than Beckman's staff.
Based on your username and "dysfuntion" in your post, you seem to like replacing "i" with "y". Maybe you should replace your pessimism with a wait-and-see approach.
What in the world is happening in this thread? One piece of bad news and the sky is falling. Have some prospective people. We just pulled off a universally praised hire, retained a sought-after assistant and still have a great recruiting class coming in.
As BWood has mentioned several times, he's been in the biz a long time and has relationships all over. We have the biggest asst pool in the B1G. We will hire quality assistants.
Lol I hope people in this thread are joking around. We look/sound ridiculous. It's one assistant coach. Who cares?
I just heard that Brad Underwood's favorite ball boy decided to stay on at OSU. Oh the humanity!
I heard Walker is taking Josh too.
Sheesh. Internet. The most worthless thing man invented and is still investing in.
Heard it was because he didn't like Zorba's or Papa Del's. Quite the turn of events.
If he doesn't like Papa Del's we don't want him here anyway. Impossible to trust his judgment on anything.
Man you two better stay away from sharp objects and guns for a while. Geeesh...:tsk:
crazy how different the reactions between this board and scout board are.
Look at what Cuonzo is doing at Mizzou. Poaching assistants from other programs without knowing if they can even blow a whistle and carry a clipboard.
And it wasn't that many years ago that IL high school coaches were banging the drums to get one of their own promoted. What happened to that concept? A high school coach can easily become a top flight college assistant, right? Eh?
JW and BU already knew about the OSU assistants long before this board ever found out. And inside sources indicate that there is a whole closetful of resumes in the athletic office.
