Regardless of what you think about the hire made today, do you think we spent an adequate amount of time searching for a coach? Do you think we should have took more time or would that have been detrimental to the search?
I think we should have made Stevens turn down the most lucrative contract in NCAA history. That being said, it is encouraging to see that Kuonzo was #1 on he list at Missouri and Ga. Tech. If he really is the man --and the big dogs beleive he is-- then we couldn't have waited.

If we were going for the low-splash, cheap money hire...might as well do it now.
It's evident we weren't going to spend much money to pull a big name here, so who cares.
What would been the point of searching for longer? If 1.3 mil was as high as Hamilton was willing to go, then we were going to get stuck with a sub-par coach no matter when we hired somebody, so we might as well bite the bullet sooner rather than later. So much him being more committed to basketball than previous AD's. All that clown cares about is money. He could care less whether we field a successful team or not. He's shown it with the football program, and showed it again today with a laughable basketball hire. This hire will quickly squander all the positive momentum we gained during the Pearl era.
You can sit and smoke your pipe for too long and then realize that all of the good candidates got scooped up by someone else.Regardless of what you think about the hire made today, do you think we spent an adequate amount of time searching for a coach?

I like going after Stevens first. Probably 50/50 chance. But if he turns it down then TN makes headlines by putting 5 mill a year on the table.
I think Cuonzo was only number one on Ga. Tech. B-List. They want to give a guy like Shaka Smart 4 million reasons to be the next GT head coach. Smart is only making 325K a year now, so he's going to move sooner or later like Anthony Grant.
