courtside Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 11 minutes ago, A10Ref said: Similar to Martelli helping Juwan It depends on how they can work it out (or not). A healthy Matta was easily (in my opinion) one of the best available coaches out there for anyone. But his back and health issues are legit. He was a total gym rat too. He was at lots and lots of games on the recruiting trail, often arriving early and staying late compared to some. (That would not be part of his job this time.) But he could be a strong talent evaluator etc... Matta's kids go to Butler. If he was going to get back in, many thought it would be Butler or IU.

slufanskip Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Re: Courtside who I happen to enjoy as a poster. He's clearly a Marquette fan and has plenty of knowledge about the school and their athletics. So what. He didn't talk Marquette until Shaka going there was the talk in the thread. It was a thread about coaching changes so yes he chimed in. He didn't start threads regarding Marquette nor did he even lead the conversation there with no reason. I don't remember the last time he discussed Marquette on the board. When we played them all the time he chimed in regarding them more often and it apparently still rubs some wrong.

thetorch Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Woodson is a terrible hire. He was a laughingstock in the NBA as a head coach. Juwan Howard is the only former NBA player/coach to do well. He's relatively young in his coaching tenure. When he gets 4 or 5 years in he may be getting fired as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to hire an Indiana guy they should have hired Alford. He probably wouldn’t have won a NCAA championship there, but nobody is going to be doing that at Indiana anytime soon. He would have got them to tournament almost every year and to the Sweet 16 regularly and if the ball bounces their way deeper. Honestly, they made a mistake when they fired Crean. The expectations for that come with that job are unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 A few generally reliable people mentioned to me that Moser could be in play at Creighton along with Darian DeVries. But I haven't heard anything yet that would indicate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am saying is that a few reliable people I know mentioned that it is a possibility being discussed at Creighton, yes. Definite? No. They are saying McDermott isn’t 100% certain to be retained, and, those two coaches have been discussed as possibilities if he’s not. I was a little (not a lot) surprised to hear it.
