He’s charming, he can recruit, he’s got a good pedigree.

Now for the bad. The Horizon League is a bad league these days. 10 years ago it was the 13th best league, but Butler and Valparaiso left, and it’s been downhill since. That isn’t Gates fault, obviously. All he’s done is beat who’s there. The point was rather his competition level isn’t quite the same.

On top of that, he spent the bulk of his time under Leonard Hamilton at Florida State. If you’re looking for influences, Hamilton’s approach to coaching is built very much on a level of toughness and defense more than winning through offensive wizardry. He’s recruited well, and they play fast and play hard. But sometimes scoring and shooting are problematic.

Charming seems like a stretch. He seems affable (nm) - the808bass MU - 3/19 19:39:45

He just is going to believe a biitch like you (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:44:31

Are you drunk? (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:45:26

You are such a biitch.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:33:56

You're projecting. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:35:23

Here's his preview of Cuonzo - zoomer 99 - 3/19 19:29:02

Sign me up for what FSU became under Hamilton - hou4mu MU - 3/19 19:27:04

7 years as an asst under a coach doesnt make you that coach - Mostly Peaceful Podcast MU - 3/19 19:51:33

Are you willing to wait seven years for his first tourney - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/19 19:32:46

No one here will give anyone the time - Gavin Citrus MU - 3/19 19:28:49

I was told, below, that dude knows his - Newcatbirdseat MU - 3/19 19:22:41

Report on coaching prospects from MN had high praise for - raskolnikov MU - 3/19 19:29:50

That seems pretty accurate based on what I've learned over - Harold Jenkins - 3/19 19:21:44

There's a lot more bad than good in there. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:20:23

...and the claims that he can recruit are speculation - zounami MU - 3/19 19:20:41

so exactly what it was when Drink was hired?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:32:18

No. I already debunked this stupid argument... - zounami MU - 3/19 19:33:26

how did you know Drink could recruit?(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:35:14

His personality and recruiting @ App State. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:36:26

App State's 2019 class didn't make the top 100 - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:43:38

Their recruiting improved significantly, as did their record - zounami MU - 3/19 19:45:11

how did their recruiting improve significantly? - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:46:08

high school recruits & transfers (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:46:27

specifically, is there a ranking that shows this - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:48:19

no, unlike you I actually research the candidates (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:51:24

so what are the metrics you used to evaluate his - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:55:16

do the one thing you're good at... - zounami MU - 3/19 20:04:34

white flag waved - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 20:10:53

explain (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 20:19:22

Can anyone point to a star he landed? Even as an assistant? - Mizzou Lou KC - 3/19 19:26:34

5 star Jonathan Isaac - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:33:13

Soooo...Gates was the lead recruiter? Or did you just - Mizzou Lou KC - 3/19 19:37:42

yeah, that was Leonard Hamilton (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:34:00

Leonard Hamilton is listed as lead recruiter for most FSU - the808bass MU - 3/19 19:40:54

so not only were you sitting in on Gates interviews - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 3/19 19:37:13

keep giving him credit for Hamilton's recruits (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:51:02

He could as an assistant.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:26:19

it's nearly impossible to know an assistant's role in - zounami MU - 3/19 19:28:13

Would it be fair to say that sometimes the HC did most of - winslow MU - 3/19 19:33:57

The HC always gets credit. And btw, it's easy to recruit to - zounami MU - 3/19 19:34:26

...and the claims that he's "charming" are false too. Watch - zounami MU - 3/19 19:22:58

No they aren't. Stop slurping Marshall's knob.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:26:01

I've watched several interviews. He's thoroughly - zounami MU - 3/19 19:26:32

Sure Sue (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:30:59

Never a counterpoint, just low IQ ad hominems (nm) - zounami MU - 3/19 19:32:00
