billiken_roy Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Jensen was making 6 figures at slu he does not in the nba minors. So willie since you talked to him, why did he leave slu and accept less pay if it wasnt because of his distaste for recruiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The one thing I like about the Stallings option is that if you got stallings is that you wouldn't have to worry about him leaving after a couple of successful seasons. He would come here with this being his final job. Now, I doubt he has any interest in the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS67 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Could it be he wanted head coaching experence on his resume ? That would put him in better positon to be considered for a head coaching position in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Without the college recruiting success on their resume red auerbach and phil jackson wouldnt get a major D1 head coaching job. Roy, you can't be serious! Their names and success at the NBA level — and that's where all of the players going to a major D1 school think they're headed — would close deals. If Phil Jackson wanted to be a head coach at virtually any D1 school and would accept the salary, that school would hire him immediately, even though he's never gone through the college recruiting process.

slufanskip Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Why the Jenson love besides he worked for RM? Does RM have some successful coaching tree I'm unaware of? Jensen left right before the season, I don't want him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So willie since you talked to him, why did he leave slu and accept less pay if it wasnt because of his distaste for recruiting?I find it hard to believe he is making less then 100k coaching in the development league. I think he left because he thought it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. If his job only leads to being hired by an NBA team in any position, that's pretty damn good.

slufanskip Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 according to this the average NBDL coach makes between about 65K and 100K http://aol.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2011-08-05/bruce-pearl-offer-NBDL-texas-legends-tennessee-volunteers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Why haven't I heard Dana Altman's name? He'd be good. He would be good. However, I don't think we could lure him away from Oregon and this contract detailed in the article below. http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2011/03/oregon_basketball_dana_altmans.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Porter Moser Given the myriad of jokes on this site concerning his greatness, not sure if this is a serious suggestion or not. Anyway, in his first year at Loyola last season, the Ramblers lost a school record 23 games. They went 7-23, with a 1-17 record in the Horizon League. I liked having Porter at SLU as an assistant. He seemed like a great guy, presented himself well, but given his first season at Loyola, his team would have to make a significant step up this year for me to consider him to be a good possibility. Going into their game today, they're 5-2, with 1 of those wins over Division 2 Rockhurst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'm beginning to doubt PM's ability both as a teacher and a recruiter. I'm willing to bet more kids came here solely because they'd heard great things about RM and not due to PM's salesmanship. After one miserable year at Loyola, I'd be disappointed if he was SLU's next HC. My first "reasonable or possibly doable" is to hire Marshall of Wichita. My guess, though, is he's probably the highest paid coach in the MVC. He wouldn't come on the cheap but, no good HC or promising AC will. Biondi's got to face the facts, any HC worth his salt is going to cost a minimum of 3/4 of a mil with some perks tossed in there for good measure.

brianstl Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Loyala is 6-2 this season. This is not an endorsement for Porter, but people shouldn't assume he can't coach because the results in the first year after he took over a program.

Going into their game today, they're 5-2, with 1 of those wins over Division 2 Rockhurst. Understandable. I was semi-serious though. I know the guy can coach and Porter learned a ton from Majerus on taking a team to the next level... Loyola plays MSU next and although they'll lose, it will be interesting to see if a Horizon league team can even play on the same floor. They most likely can't, and it's unfortunate given the timing, but I think he will be successful in time and in a few years will get a call from a bigger program. SLU needs to look for coaches willing to take a program that seemingly is close to the top and stay here and not just move on after a couple NCAA runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 CH managed to get at least one of the kids we were recruiting heavily to go to NB so he apparently has some ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusakAttack Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 We have had plenty of discussion over who the next coach should be. For now I think we should all get behind this team and Coach Crews and support them 100%. Crews did not apply or ask to be put in this position and it just got even tougher. Go Coach Crews and Go Bills! Have a great season for Rick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSLU68 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Valpo gave us to see Crews out coach young Bryce Drew. If your team hits 60% from field and holds other team to 30% And you inflate your halftime lead everybody comes away warm and fuzzy. Maybe Jett's resurgence had the same impact. You can't say anyone else is playing beyond his ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
