My guess is May is on board with those changes. The days of doing stuff half a$$ and in a bush league manner are over. Plans will be implemented for multiple contingencies with clear objectives instead of buzz word tomes that have no clearly stated measurable goal. A self-made billionaire businessman basketball fan is going to have a large say in how SLU operates. He is going to want it to operate with the same discipline and planning that he operates his businesses with. If you aren't on board, you will be gone. If May becomes essentially a puppet of Chaifetz, I am ok with that. I think May showed he has no real power with the S2 situation, and I think Chaifetz stepped in and saved Goodwin. I don’t think the B School donation was a no-strings-attached thing. But I don’t know how popular that opinion will be. I agree though that this program will be run much more seriously with Chaifetz almost like a de facto owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking down the road even further, imagine what this team will be like in two years when JG/French are Juniors and CG/Thatch/Pearson are sophomores..... How about another year when JG/French are Seniors?! If we can sustain that level of recruiting... Oh man. Don’t blink, our roster could be Elite 8 status in just a few short years.... *Rubs palms together in an excitedly devious motion* The future is bright.

I agree that Chaifetz stepped in to force SLU to reconsider the Goodwin suspension. But..... The B-School donation, as all major donations are, was likely the result of a year’s worth of discussion of the terms/uses/naming associated with Chaifetz’s second huge $$ donation, and I highly highly doubt it came with the contingency of “Free Jordan Goodwin”. That said, you better believe Chaifetz was in JG’s corner. You KNOW that as soon as the suspensions were released, Chaifetz was on the line with Pestello/May advising them to figure this situation out, or they could be next on the trading block. Chaifetz is an astute leader and was highly aware of the consequences associated with potentially losing our best player - a top 50 recruit - and the impact this could have on our incoming recruiting class and the future of SLU basketball. Chaifetz knows we are on the verge of a re-birth of SLU basketball and just doubled down on his commitment to SLU - he’s not going to let anyone at SLU get in the way.

Ford ain’t bouncing -I bring it up because CMay is the current person in the position to fill a coaching vacancy, he should always be prepared in case something happens especially to the most important program in his dept, this is the time of year for coaching changes, it came to my mind and CFord might well be bouncing a bball on a court or his head against a wall in frustration over what might have been this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Looks like the anticipated sacking of Tubby Smith at Memphis is happening. No wthe speculation turns to Anfernee Hardaway coming on board. Penny Hardaway. Hardaway has no collegiate coaching experience and rumor is that he will hire Larry Brown as bench coach.

I think the main job of an NBA coach is to keep guys from banging each others spouses/moms, getting them to show up on time, and keeping them sober for the games.

thetorch Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Brown was always known as a player's coach. He was very young when he took his first HC job and delegated fine tuning to assts. His MO is to take veteran teams, rearrange depth charts, get the players happy and get more wins. He's really poor at developing young talent and when left to his own devices his coaching style is pretty antiquated (ask the 04 dream team, what coach messes up a dream team?). He's always gotten results but in college he played dirty and his NBA coaching record is sporadic, he does have the Pistons title, but again he is good at pointing a veteran squad in the direction, not really teaching and making teams better.
