Another Northwestern?

Had to Google the name as I couldn't place it.
Outside of being a former player he probably wouldn't have sniffed an interview let alone an offer.
Who knows ISU has shown that this type of move can work.

Great hire by Rutgers. Will see if all the NBA coaching experience translates to the college game.

Just seems like a risky hire when on the surface better candidates were out there.
His only head coaching experience didn't appear to be too extraordinary.

But its nothing like the ISU/Hoiberg hire.
Jordan has spent years on an NBA bench coaching.
Hoiberg spent a few years in the front office.

Not really sure how you got that out of my posts.
All I said was the hires arent similar.

I must have missed your thoughts on this hire.
Do you see this as a good hire by Rutgers or a stretch?
My point from an ISU perspective was that similar to Fred he has no college coaching expierence.

Does he have his own rolodex?

I dont have many thoughts on this because I really dont give a damn about Rutgers basketball. I dont remember them ever being relevant in basketball and I probably wont think about Rutgers basketball until Iowa plays them for the first time when they move to the B1G.
I do know however, your thoughts in regards to the hire are way off if you are comparing it to the Hoiberg hire.

He has been a head coach for the wizards, sixers, and kings if I am not mistaken. Not sure how that translates to recruiting kids but it sure is an experience he can sell to them. As for the Hoiberg relation, it is related in the fact they both played in the NBA but that's about it. Hoiberg was in the front office while Jordan has been on the bench as a HC and assistant. Only time will tell who will be more successful, right now Hoiberg has the advantage for taking that award.

They hired the guy who coached the Washington Wizards to the playoffs four times.
It's no slam dunk, but this hire can under no circumstances be viewed as bad.
