    I am officially recanting all previous statements I've made along these lines and getting behind Coach Purcell 100%.

    Good grief!

    Let Novak stay on as one of the assistants.
    He appears to be the type of personality who would be ok with that in this case.

    That will be his first recruiting job. The present team. I wanted Novak also but am happy with this hire.

    On the men's side I would not be unhappy with hiring the coach at Sanford.

    Ok, let's stop the political shit and talk about the hire.

    I encourage every one of you to go to the announcement tweet from the women's hoops Twitter account, and read the Quoted tweets....this dude is loved by EVERYONE. All the UL players commenting, AAU coaches commenting, colleagues and former colleagues, ESPN analysts like Holly Rowe, everybody is raving about the guy. I think this might be a great hire. We'll know soon enough

    If referring to my post I said he had never led a program, so no, being an assistant doesn't count for being a head coach. As of now Novak has more women's HC experience than Purcell does. I certainly hope this hire is successful for us though. Only time will tell.

    We hired what looks to be a good hire. Let's all get behind him and get the program turned around.

    And I don't enjoy deleting 44 posts but this needed to be cleaned up so we can discuss our new coach.

    We’ll see but didn’t expect much more from a baseball AD.

    This could NEVER, EVER work!! It would be so awkward for all parties as to be totally unworkable. Just coach Novak's presence would totally undercut the new coach's position as well as the players feel totally awkward. They wouldn't be able to figure out who to listen to.

    I?m in agreement that Coach Novak shouldn?t be forced on Coach Purcell as an assistant and obviously that is not going to be the case. However if Coach Purcell wants him then based on Coach Novak?s personality I?d think it could work. However I don?t see that happening. I also generally share your concerns.

    Vic is now 26-6 after cutting down the nets in Big 12 Championship Game against Baylor. Texas is a 2 seed in NCAA. Matharu averages about 8 minutes a game at Texas after being a Starter at MSU.

    He's the anti-Novak at this point. Proven recruiter with no coaching experience. I've already said it, but once Smesko said no, we really had nobody else so we went with the best recruiter from a proven program basically. He'll get players. If he can coach and hire good coaches things will be good.
