I wouldn't cry if we hired Capel but I wouldn't jump up and down either. I don't think he's terrible but I'm not sure he's really anything special either. I have no idea who i'd hire. There are a lot of good coaches out there so the biggest thing is finding a fit with who can recruit the area and who's style fits the types of athletes we are most likely to recruit.

Id have no problem with Brady.Quote:

Not that I'd be opposed to Brady, but we would look kind of dumb getting rid of Stansbury, going through 3 years of suckage, and then hiring Brady. Unless I am forgetting where Brady dominated Stansbury, I was thinking they were basically the same coach except that Brady had a team get hot in the NCAA (which happned to have two NBA players from his home city) and Stansbury didn't. In fact, I think Stansbury could do just as well if he came back (I know that won't happen). I think the main reason Stansbury had to go was that there was no way for him to hit reset on the locker room.Quote:

I want offense and a team that can shoot, pass and dribble 1-13. I want a coach that will develop a system and develop players in his system.Quote:
