UT needs to be very careful about hiring a great tactician who has never had to recruit at the highest level. Look how that turned out for Iowa.

At least we could Rick Roll TBA if we hired him...

I thought Mooney was one in your top 10 for Hamilton to call?

Right on the money with this one as well.

I would be much happier with a guy who has shown steady, measurable improvement at a mid-major than a guy who finished 4th in the conference in his second year and won two games, though.

He is, but a good portion of that was based on the fact he'll take the job. I'm not saying he wouldn't succeed at the SEC level, I'm saying I'm not sure about his ability to recruit.

Ok, I'm sure this is obvious, but who are you referring to?

So those 10 are based mainly on the
likelihood of them willing to take the job? I just hope we don't end up with a guy just because he got to the sweet 16.

No, but it was a substantial factor.

Excatly the same way I feel about Brad Stevens. Good coach but would not do well outside of Indy.

UT, nor Iowa has ever been a consistent top 25 basketball program. CBP took UTs program to its highest level ever and I see nothing to suggest he was a proven high level recruiter when he got here. Bruce did a great job of hiding the fact that UT has never been a basketball school that every player in the country is going to look at. A high energy guy who can outcoach people and consistently win could get us back to the level CBP has us at. Looking for these proven high level recruiters will find us a bunch of guys saying no thanks. Its UT basketball lets be realistic here.

I believe Mooney would be a home run hire. Just my opinion.
