You are a stupid fuck. Juwan Howard was a top NBA assistant. Terrible comparison.

Head coaches with zero head coaching experience don't walk into Power 5 head coaching jobs. They get their HC start at smaller schools. Giant failure on Coyle's part.

This is stupid. Football and Men's basketball pay the bills for the whole department. You make a splash hire to keep the money coming into the program.

Gates does have a weak resume. Johnson has no resume.

This is a huge fuck-up.

I tend to think that would be the reason he would consider taking the job. His old man's connection.

As the associate head coach at Michigan State, isn't he just waiting for Izzo to die? Much like Dutcher did.

Sorry, this is a bad take. Lindsey revolutionized how people see women's basketball here. It went from underwater basket weaving with two people in the stands to The Barn and the final four. Comparing Ben to that is incredibly detrimental to him. It's just not fair.

Which still means nothing to me.

I'm not arguing that either way. It was asked, I answered. I think in his case, it's closer to the Lindsay Whalen hiring than anything else. Beloved at his almamater and hired on.

Tyus can stick it. A guy that never played here wants to chime in? Agree with me or disagree with me, at least I'm all in on my university. He left here. He could have helped bring this place to a level it should be at; instead he abandoned ship.

Top NBA assistant.

This would be bad hire IMO. 2 years HC. 500ish record. One losing season followed by one winning season. We can't hire a successful coach with more than 2 seasons as a track record? Not sure where all the love for Gates is coming from nor where all his 'upside' is located.

We don't know that she is a good coach now. I don't like her long term future here based on how her team plays. Very inconsistent.

Chris Mack was mentioned. That would be a homerun hire. Never gonna happen, but it would be the type of hire you mentioned, yes?

Thanks. For the record, I posted at how much I hate him in this thread way before they started playing tonight. What I really don't get with him: either he never had a head coaching opportunity (virtually impossible) or he chose to be an assistant for 34 years waiting for his head coach to...

I can get behind this. Muss would likely be my #1.

I say yes, probably and you read probably. Doesn't really matter. Can I ask you, or anyone willing to answer really, why are you so sold on Dutcher?

Yes, probably. I don't see where he is a better candidate than many of the others. I'm on this thread hating on Dutcher (my lowest of the lowest on my poll) and to be honest, I don't understand all of the love for Gates. I'd like to see a few more years instead of a couple of adequate years...
