M.O.B. Votes:

is that you don't know who will be a top coach.

You know who appears to be capable of the job, but there is no way to know who is the right choice.

If you guess wrong, your program goes deeper into the hole.

A reminder of proper strategy since it's still debated. - alwaysright MU - 1/26 16:12:28

If Gregg Marshall is your guy then overspend and get him - alstl MU - 1/26 17:06:58

Greggggggg knows how strong a legacy program this is - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/26 17:13:02

We should pay whatever it takes to get the best coach that's - zounami MU - 1/26 17:05:36

Brad Underwood and Chris Bear were as hot of - alwaysright MU - 1/26 17:38:18

again....great post my thoughts exactly - Bump834 MU - 1/26 21:56:23

If we want Keatts, for example, then we pay what it takes - zounami MU - 1/26 17:45:27

The problem with this philosophy - haeffb MU - 1/26 18:35:46

Nobody else is going to pay him that much either - alwaysright MU - 1/26 17:47:41

If so then we won't need to go that high. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/26 17:49:18

Underwood and Beard were bigger names than - alwaysright MU - 1/26 17:53:42

So what? Are you suggesting we should settle for a mediocre - zounami MU - 1/26 18:23:23

I see what you're saying, but the current market - Eggs MU - 1/26 19:20:43

We're paying $1.5 million for a worthless D-2 coach... - zounami MU - 1/26 19:42:49

Pretty sure no one said that. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 18:30:19

We were arguing a hypothetical scenario, obviously. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/26 18:31:46

A hypothetical scenario that would never exist. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 18:37:23

Scenerio: The best coach, by far, willing to take the job... - zounami MU - 1/26 18:48:12

Very nice - haeffb MU - 1/26 19:18:04

it's subjective, but here goes... - zounami MU - 1/26 20:03:00

Interesting that you rate both Martin's so high. Both - alwaysright MU - 1/26 20:37:26

FM because of his track record, CM because he's a - zounami MU - 1/26 20:46:19

having NCAA teams most seasons is not good enough. - alwaysright MU - 1/27 07:20:25

I respect - haeffb MU - 1/26 20:11:51

Got to give him credit for actually putting something down. - alwaysright MU - 1/26 20:32:31

List some coaches in order - haeffb MU - 1/26 21:40:06

I didn't say his list was the most accurate list it could - alwaysright MU - 1/27 07:21:16

Their respective track records serve as an objective basis, - zounami MU - 1/26 20:15:09

That isn't a realistic scenario.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 19:09:24

Agree with this almost entirely. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 16:39:02

Maybe, but some of us were pretty certain - alwaysright MU - 1/26 17:34:17

And most of the arguments were BS. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 17:55:37

we blew it on Bryce Drew, and another SEC program - FIJItiger MU

- 1/26 16:46:30

Too early to say that. Vandy is 9-11. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 16:58:30

We kept Kim another year. We blew it (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/26 16:59:16

Unless we get rid of KA and replace him with someone - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 17:00:14

This is a valid point that many don't get. I kind of think - alwaysright MU - 1/26 20:35:49

Drew seems like a perfectly fine coach. - zodiac6 JC - 1/26 20:37:14

Stan Heath is probably available. Been to the Elite 8 - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/26 16:52:42

Likely is available, since he isn't a good coach (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/26 16:58:45

HE WENT TO THE ELITE 8!!!!!!! - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/26 17:05:11

so has Quin Snyder and Steve Lavin.. - VegasTiger MU - 1/26 17:15:49

RE: so has Quin Snyder and Steve Lavin.. - jrizzle MU - 1/26 22:34:13

That's just not true. Quin and Steve are also strong - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/26 17:18:26

lol looked to see where he was, assistant at BC - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/26 16:53:43

He went to the Elite 8. The NCAA tourney is like Heaven and - Fred G. Sanford USA - 1/26 16:55:51

Orange could call him Heef(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/26 16:56:18

Keatts resume compares favorably to Drew - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/26 16:51:00

Thing I like about Keattes - FIJItiger MU

- 1/26 16:58:09

What are they in efficiencies - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/26 17:09:31
