CBFan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Barry’s results reminds me a lot of Soderberg’s almost good enough and cannot get over the hump to the post season. Barry is a character I like him but I am glad he was never a coach at SLU. One of Barry’s comments that always made me laugh was his first season at SIU his players kept falling down during the game and Barry’s comment was he thought there was a sniper in the in the stands. Time for Barry to ride out his career as an assistant coach. I hope SIU finds a good coach and will become a quality win for SLU each season.

Clock_Tower Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I know that Hinson has been at SIUC but Missouri State became irrelevant to me when they tried to dictate their schedule with us. Am I correct that this decision was made by Barry Hinson and his program? If so, then I glad to see Barry get fired yet again. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the issue where they backed out of the game with us came a few years later. Could have been Cuonzo Martin actually. Barry always seemed like a good guy, but never impressed me too much as a coach. Because he was liked in St. Louis, people would suggest that SLU should hire him when we had coaching vacancies. Those suggestions always made me want to throw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Believe you are right. I see that we played (and lost) to MO State in 2010 and RM was our Coach. That year, though, was the last year for Martin at MO State. Paul Lusk then took over from 2011 to 2018 so Lusk must be the tool I am think about.

Compton Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've always liked Coach Hinson and wish he'd found a little more success at SIU-C. He certainly pours his heart into each game. I hope he sticks around the regional basketball scene - something like coaching in the other Valley - SIUE or SEMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hinson and the Valley are inseparable to me. Small-time, small-town, folksy, and mediocre. Littlebill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other programs there have done well nationally vs D1 competition in the past — soccer, tennis, softball. It could happen someday in hoops.

The Cougars have signed one very nice player, 6'8" Jake LaRavia, averaging 18P/7R/4A for Indy powerhouse Lawrence Central. He shoots 45% from the three and has made Lawrence Central a threat for the State title. Now will he reconsider that Harris is gone? He blew up this senior year. Back on SIUC, former SIU point guard Bryan Mullins, who is the associate head coach at Loyola, is considered a favorite to get the job.

bbtds Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 There are some in Oklahoma who think Barry Hinson might run for governor.

Now I don't know what the OK law requires for you have live in the state before you can run for office but he won't be doing so in the near future.

To be eligible to hold the office of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller or Treasurer, a person must be a United States citizen, at least 25 years old, and a resident of Oklahoma for the three years preceding his election. Oklahoma elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not presidential election years. For Oklahoma, 2018, 2022, 2026, 2030 and 2034 are all gubernatorial election years. So Barry could move back to Oklahoma before November 2019 since he quit as SIU's head coach and become governor of Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Tony Barone's kid and played at Marquette about 20 years ago. He was an assistant at SIUE. SIUE is keeping Harris's whole staff. I guess SIUE has just decided to suck in basketball for the next 3 years. It is going to be impossible to recruit with only an interim head coach for at least a year. There is no excuse for that program not be better than it is in the OVC. I guess Marty Simmons is making too much as an assistant at Clemson to bring him back.
