Well someone who has had successful D1 experience at the major college level would be the smartest choice and should be the first choice. Although I would still be willing to see the Grinnell system for a few years just to see it at the major level. Way I figure we don't play half court defense anyway and at least we would full court press and get more guards in here that can shoot the 3 ball.
No way. No way.
Grinnell ball is a total gimmick that works at a single D3 school. It works in that environment entirely because it’s D3 where you have hugely mismatched teams (Grinnell uses it mainly to run the score up on shitty teams), very low talent coaching relative to D1 that can’t adapt, as well as college teams that would get destroyed by some 4A high schools and even more AAU teams. That kind of stuff doesn’t translate to P5 NCAA basketball.
In P5 basketball the coaching would figure out that gimmick in a heartbeat and with the freak size, quickness, and athleticism there’s no way you just fly down the court and launch an open three every 8 seconds.
Good luck getting enough rebounds and pressing a Michigan State for two halves, let alone getting any open shots when Izzo (or any other decent coach) knows exactly what you’re going to do. This ain’t Principia College or Faith Baptist Bible, man.
Rick Pitino is available. Proven winner.
Fran not going to be replaced. Not gonna happen
Who would you want to replace Fran? I think LeVelle Moton would be a great option. He could recruit well here and I think he'll be ready to jump for a new job in the next year or two.

Fred Hoiberg.
Because in real reality he’s not.Why do you say that?

Fran has faults for sure. Some that can change but probably won’t change.Yeah Cy5656 is really trolling here. No matter how dissatisfied I am over the BB team, putting a "new coach" thread out there is just Clown trolling, Fran isn't going anywhere (fortunately or unfortunately).
Explain why trolling? Maybe you mistook Rob's funny joke?Yeah Cy5656 is really trolling here. No matter how dissatisfied I am over the BB team, putting a "new coach" thread out there is just Clown trolling, Fran isn't going anywhere (fortunately or unfortunately).
I'd take Ben Jacobson in a heartbeat.
At this point I'd give Barb Jacobson a shot.Big IF if that would work out...look at Greg McD.
IF it did...boy would the defense improve big time.
