I think Houston and SDSU have shown everyone what’s possible without a 7 footer. Just need guys that are beefy and dogs that go after every ball. 6’4” to 6’8” and can all shoot, dribble and rebound can work.
Skilled at what? He can rebound and play defense and dunk. He can’t shoot free throws or outside of 5 feet. That’s exactly what he was 2 years ago. Hard pass.
Meh, that’s a decent starting 5. Backups were a different story and can’t be said the same for. Not only that but despite itentifying such great talent he’d have 2-3 of those guys off the bench rather than starting.
I’d imagine if Ben were to get another job as head coach it would be difficult for him to find assistants since he was head coach only 4 years and his network may be fairly small.
At the very least he isn’t as polarizing as Ben was. There was a strong contingent of posters that never thought Ben deserved the job and some like myself that never got past the wait and see attitude. With Medved he at least has a good resume everyone can get behind.
