GOSLU68 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Is there a feeling that they have moved further away from Crews in games? Tanner seems less active and Cheaney seems to work one on one with bigger players meaning other than guards. My hope is that they keep trying.

Billy Ken Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Wasn't just a few years ago that Tanner Bronson was the clear apparent coach in waiting after Coach Majerus retired? How quickly things change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#firecrews Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Cheaney should be an easy choice as Slu's next head coach. His basketball resume is by far the best out of the Slu assistants. His successful stint in the NBA will provide major help recruiting along with respect from his players. Slu will probably find a way to screw it up and promote Bronson to head coaching duties. If so, you can be sure to see any recruits with real talent walk out the door. And anyone who thinks Slu will seek out a sexy sign for head coach outside of the Billiken bench is dreaming.

Clyde Drexler ring a bell? Isaiah Thomas? Don't rest ones coaching ability on their playing success. I see nothing in Cheney's coaching resume that stands out other than being a great scorer in college and lottery pick.Most of the former players who end up bring top flight college coaches were not stars but grinders, the floor burn and hustle guys or the floor generals. Alford may seem like an exception but he came from a coaching family and was a ridiculous workhorse squeezing more than he should have from his talents.

Anyone who thinks "SLU" will play anything more than an advise-and-consent role in the choice of the next coach ignores the immediate precedent.

RiseAndGrind Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Like I said in a previous thread, not a single coach on this staff is fit to be a high major D1 assistant or head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Law Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 There is so much code here it hurts.. maybe we should just make Crawford a player-coach.. "Code?" Do tell...... Unless you mean "non superstars." One specific comment made about Magic Johnson's failure as a coach was that everything came naturally to him that he didn't know how to teach players and could not relate to them when they struggled. If being a great player were the main criteria then why would any non player ever be considred? Tony Bennett is a great example, King Rice, Sydney Johnson (particularly his Princeton days), Kevin Ollie, Tom Izzo, Brian Wardle, are others that immediately come to mind. Hell, I basically described Majerus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 If we absolutely had to promote an assistant to full-time head coach, who would you go with? Just hypothetical because we'd be nuts to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
