Orlando Antigua

[volnpowell]

Orlando Antigua is an assistant coach at Ky. Recognized as top recruiter for 2010. Was with Cal last year at Memphis and followed him to Ky. My choice is Brad Stephens at Butler, but I am just throwing a name out to see what people think. I personally would NOT want him. I think Cal is the reason for most of recruiting success and I'm sure he is dirty. Your thoughts

Did the OP really suggest a name that he doesn't want?

Sounds like a modern day Wade Houston to me. Great recruiter, but no experience at coaching. If Houston had waited 3-4 years and gained some real coaching experience, he may have been a pretty good coach.

He did indeed. I'll try it too...Bert Bertlekamp

I was just trying to think of a name that had not been mentioned. I was just curious to see if people thought he might be a person of interest.

Couldn't wait that long; Allan would have gone to Louisville.

Anyone mentioned Chris Ferguson? Would be mad if he got job but would like to see his name mentioned and for him to get a look. Haha. Just kidding OP, I'm not at all funny just amusing myself. Haha

Not sure about this assistant but what about North Carolina, Duke or one of the other schools with big time coaches? I haven't heard any of those assistants mentioned. There is bound to be a good, young assistant on one of those teams that is ready to make the jump to the head coaching ranks...

Travis Ford is a toolbag cheater that coaches poorly at OK St., my choice is Marshall

I'm so surprised that you feel this way.

I think Charles Barkley would be a fun hire....don't know how he'd do as a coach but he'd be "good for quotes"

I think grabbing a top assistant is much less common in basketball than football for a major program. There are so many more mid-majors around that those who are ready have plenty of opportunity to cut their teeth at a lower level before moving up.
