The need to recruit players may not have been up his alley as a college coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Majerus Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 He had nothing to work with, with the bigs we had; might have been useful with the current roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he be effective as a big-man coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use his College and NBA accomplishments to recruit young players? One good recruiter could have kept the Crews/Platt regime going longer. Thank god CC was equally bad.

slu72 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I actually thought in the beginning of Dead's era he'd be good for SLU recruiting. I was wrong. That whole staff was effed up. SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole staff was effed up. I can only think of two players I was truly proud of in Roby and Ash. Neither were Billiken greats, but both should be proud of their play and their commitment both on and off the court. That is not much success for the time they were here.

Scoop Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'd add Mike Crawford to that list. SLU_Lax, HoosierPal, bauman and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ash would have been a really good complementary player on a good team but he had to be a star on his teams. Asking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was amazing off-the-court and it is sad that he was leaned on so heavily on-the-court that physically he was often breaking down by mid-season. I will also note that I liked Bartley and Reynolds and a couple others, but they were not impactful enough in their brief stays (so they just remain neutral in my mind). I liked Reggie Agbeko too, but he never put it together. He was a tease with his talent, but a hard worker. He just needed softer/better hands. Reggie is one that I wish Calbert could have gotten through too. To get back on topic, I think if Calbert had a "failure" that it was not being able to maximize Reggie's talent more (softer hands and less feet shuffling).
