And I don't mean this comment specifically targeted at any coach in particular or Cuonzo as well, but I think in large part the rising stars of the coaching profession are doing so because of intelligence and aptitude, whereas historically it was driven by past experience, playing experience, or possibly value as a recruiter. I don't think it would be accurate to characterize the people who largely make up the head coaching community as 'smart', at least not as to how that would be defined in most other professions. You get someone like a Brad Stevens or Quin Snyder and they become a revelation simply because they are considerably more intelligent than many of their peers.

To me, that is where the untapped potential is. A guy like Drink might not have been viewed as a serious candidate not that long ago in the past simply because of who he is and the things he does bring to the table would have been deprioritized.

                         I went to a Coach K seminar about the same time - SabertoothTiger MU - 6/14 12:15:50
                              Certainly the opposite approach would be making - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 12:24:03

                                        MU had kind of bad assistants in the late 1990s - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 12:35:18
               Agreed, he was a good example of MU taking that approach(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 11:14:28

               Smart is an important distinction - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 11:13:16
                    This. Its why Drink has a chance to rise to the top. Many - SabertoothTiger MU - 6/14 11:59:49
                    Yep. Cuonzo allegedly scored a 17 on his ACT, which is - zounami MU - 6/14 11:21:01
                         Oh come on. Where do you come up with this stuff? (nm) - Lerxst MU - 6/14 19:20:30
                         To make this less currently personal, Mike Anderson is to - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 11:26:13
                         I do think that early on in CM's career, before he was rich - zounami MU - 6/14 11:25:17
                              To continue on this path, its the whole work smarter not - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 11:32:09
          McCollum would fit that then - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 10:18:13
               English wasn't smart enough to keep his mouth - SabertoothTiger MU - 6/14 12:25:31
                    He used to post on this board - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 12:29:33
               No on English - Diamond Dave MU - 6/14 10:30:11
                    Why? We haven’t even seen what he can do - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 10:34:55
                         No doubt but we cannot afford to eff up another hire - Diamond Dave MU - 6/14 10:47:34
                              While it could work out, I don't think that is the route to - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 11:36:20

                                             His overall record was pretty meh. Can't compare the - Diamond Dave MU - 6/14 13:07:41
                                                  Because he didn't stay in D2 (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 15:29:46
                                             Seems the most likely way for Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 13:03:14
                                                  That is a recent trend/concern - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 15:28:53
                                                       When Mizzou hired Mike Anderson - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 15:36:35
                                                            Hmmm, I don't recall it that way. Beilein was a candidate, - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 16:02:26

                                                                           At the time he was the guy Mizzou should have prioritized - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 16:26:14
                                                                                He wasn't hired that offseason. He returned to coach at - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 16:33:49
                                                                                     So we got beat out by West Virginia - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 17:04:01
                                                                                          I think Mike Anderson was our preference. We landed the - FIJItiger MU - 6/14 17:50:21
                                                                                               And Mizzou landed a good coach - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 18:06:58
                              McCollum is an excellent coach, no doubt. But he has never - DHighlander NWMSU - 6/14 10:58:15
                                   He already recruits D1 players - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/14 11:22:00
