Thanks man. I've been very lucky healthwise in my life until 2021. Started BP meds, severe sleep apnea, and cataract surgery ahead this summer. If gray hair starts moving in I dont know wtf I'll do.Quote:

Plus- people seem to always forget about Robert Kirby's recruiting also. Stands is a good recruiter but Kirby is too.Quote:

Tune in Saturday at 11:45 on TruTV and watch Wes Miller and UNCG give FSU all they want with 1 player on his team that would be a contributor for FSU. Dude is a hell of a coach. He?ll be gone after this off-season I?d bet. If not and Howland retires after next year, he?s gotta be #1 on the list. Would he take it? Idk but you take a swing.Quote:

Kermit Davis Jr is miles ahead of Howland as an in game floor coach. Now recruiting is a different story. He can?t seem to get that going at Ole Miss, although I?m not sure Howland could do that their with their awful hoops tradition. I give him tons of credit though for taking over a train wreck team left by Kennedy and taking them to the NCAA in his first year after they were picked last in the SEC. Anyone who thought hiring Ray over Kermit Jr must?ve been dropped on their head as a kid
Train wreck? AK had a bad year his last one for sure, but the prior 3 years, AK won 20 or more. AK left Kermit Davis, tyree, and shuler. Tyree made all sec, and Davis is in the nba, not d-league/g-league/whatever.Quote:

You are correct. Rick was hired in May, 1990. He didn't do much recruiting for the 1991 team.
If anything, Ole Miss shows how difficult it has become to make the NCAA since the 1 and done rule went into effect in '05 and the emergence of the mid-majors. OM won 19 or more 10 out of 12 years under Kennedy between '06 an '18. They made the dance 2 times. Similarly, we won 19 or more 7 times in the same time span (hard to believe) and made the tourney 3 times. Prior to '05ish, 19 -20 wins was almost a lock for any SEC to get in. Between '96 and '05, OM won 19 or more 6 times and made the tourney 5 while we matched them at 6 and 5.Quote:

I don't think any other coach that would come here could sign better players than Howland has done, but man his teams are so hard to watch offensively. If he is going to stay, he needs to at least hire a good x and o offensive assistant coach.
Easy with the train wreck and their hoops tradition isn’t much worse than ours.. I’m not sure what happened to AK his last year it was bad , but that team Kermit got was very good.Quote:

But then he comes back in year 2 and lays a turd. With Tyree / Shuler and his guys
Again with this the game has passed Ben , and his style of play sucks ... His offense is as good or better than Kermit’s .
I agree I wish he would switch up his defense more and he may have to next year with Ado gone because Smith is an average at best defender . We will have to get up and down the court better next year and I think we will and Tulo will be much better on offense without Ado at the 5 , but he will be greatly missed on the defensive end
Also if I remember correctly ever one bitching and moaning a few years ago when we prob lead the league in 3 point shot attempts.. people saying all we do is jack up 3s. this sucks
Again If Ben retires after the season or next season that’s fine.. Cohen just better be able to make the right hire.
And yes kermit would have been a better hire than RR , but Kermit Davis Probaly isn’t going to be the guy to get you to that next level.. is CBH ?? Maybe not here but his resume says yes. We gave Stands what 14 seasons he never did it.
If you want to get to the next level in college hoops your coach has to both recruit and develop guys for the NBA
Howland In 6 years . 3 nba guys drafted with Stewart and Molinar 2 in waiting which will make possibly 5 in 7 years .. and all were recruited here no transfers.
Before that I think it was maybe 6 over a 20 year span and all of these guys had limited at best careers and 2 were transfers
Zimmerman
Swat
Austin
Roberts
Tyrone Washington
And I guess Moultrie
Agree. But right now I'm not sure who I want to replace him.Quote:

Huh? Stansbury never had a lottery pick much less a lottery pick with another 1st rounderQuote:
