Unofficial Coaching Search Thread

Amaker took over the worst possible situation at Michigan, they were mired in the NCAA investigation from the FAB 5 violations and they were flat out terrible on the court, winning 10 games the year before he got there.

His first year Michigan had imposed a self ban on the post season, though in his second year he took Michigan from 8th to 3rd in the Big 10 they were banned from that post season too. The NCAA investigation didn't conclude until his third year. Michigan got hammered with 4 years probation and they lost a scholarship a year from 2004-2008 and were initially banned for 2 more years from the post-season.

His third year Michigan finished with 19 wins and an RPI of 37 and still didn't get an at-large bid, they went on to win the NIT after the NCAA lifted the ban on the 3rd year in the post-season on appeal. He finished with 23 wins that year.

He'd win 20+ his final two seasons at Michigan but was still fired right as the probation and sanctions were ending.

This is what im saying..cal couldn't do

U forgot his amazing recruiting at seaton hall btw

 

[bamacheats]

although I wouldn't be disappointed with Miles

I would be beyond disappointed.

 

[GOATeric14berry]

Amaker also developed Jeremy linn

 

[Orange Daddy]

Geno

I wonder who Hamilton would have hired if he was still in charge?

He would have given a 5 year extension to CCM and a 5 million dollar buyout.

The first jackwagon from the MAAC who'd jump on $800K.

 

[GahLee]

If a guy can't win at Michigan, I want him far away from UT.

 

[Ace]

If you like Jim Crews, I would suggest we look at Dan Dakich. He is the ESPN commentator who has coached at Indiana and Toledo.

No to Dakich

 

[Vol8188]

He's only coached Women players and doesn't have all that much experience. The only one to do it was Van Chancellor. He Coached Men's basketball at Troy and Women's basketball at Ole Miss.

Did you really just give a serious reply to this thread?

 

[mdrew27]

If he coached men I'd say let's do it. If you don't see this kid as an up and coming then you're blind. I'll trade him for holly any day.

Based on what?

Let's let him win his first game as a HC before we ordain him as a up and comer.

 

[thetennlegend]

This won't happen but I wish they would contact Cronin from cinci.

 

[golfballs]

I would be beyond disappointed.

Miles > Tyndall

 

[Special Ed]

Don't be so hard on OP.
Some of our posters are still in-the-making too.
He'll learn as he goes along.

 

[Gramps]

It is being reported that Howland and Tubby Smith contacted the university yesterday interested in the job.

 

[Gramps]

Miles > Tyndall

I read an article that said Miles is not interested but who knows. Rumors swirl during coach searches.

Yeah I don't think he is. Just saying my preference if he were

 

[rocketskates]

Hopefully they at least try to get Shaka Smart. If he turns it down, so be it but you never know. Maybe he didn't want to go to UCLA, I honestly didn't see Martin going to Cal.

 

[govols120]

About half of the posts in this thread make me pine for a volnation IQ screening test before one is allowed to post

 

[VolsCigarMan]

Pitino Jr. isn't the right fit imo. Name recognition is all he's got at this point in his career. Besides, do we really want the Italian mob running the show?

Yes, Italian coaches always win! Pittino, Carlesimo, Calipari, Rollie, Carnseca. I could go on and on

 

[orangeluvr]

Tyler has the pedigree ,at this point however , he's not ready for prime time ! :no:

 

[e-VOL-ution2013]

Heard an intersting name on the radio this morning and I wanted to throw it out to VN and see what you guys thought. Any one remember Mike Davis? He coached at Indiana and UAB, and is currently coaching at Texas Southern which made the first round of the Tourney this year.

Oh and one other bit of information, he played at BAMA!

 

[Rudy123]

Real possibility or false hope?

He was offered an offensive amount of money when he interviewed with us in 2011.

His wife is an administrator or a teacher at VCU, so she is not going to want to move, just for the sake of moving. It will have to be worth their while.
