Expand cult following on the board and repeat There are dozens of regular posters on this board who don't hide behind anonymous handles and make vague predictions who actually know what is going on in the program. Just DM them here or talk to them at games or events. Lol. I think you’re projecting again. Still unhealthily obsessed? Just hit the troll button. Oh wait, after doing that on every one of my posts for 3 months, it’s no longer available. Now I see why you did that instead of just speaking/projecting. Maybe get a hobby or try therapy.

I have my issues with him and he sure has issues with me, but the guy isn’t going to make up stuff, get ahead of himself or wish cast in posts on a situation like this. His reputation is on the line when he makes a post like these and his reputation as a credible source on here is way too important to him. I would argue he takes protecting that reputation too far to an extreme sometimes, but that probably isn’t relevant here. Plus, I have no doubt I know for sure who one of his sources is, how that person is connected to this and that source has absolutely nothing to gain from getting a narrative out there. That dude is going to be doing great no matter how this plays out so there is no need for him to tell Courtside anything but the complete truth. There are a ton of moving pieces on board right now, but I feel when this all plays out Courtside will have scooped everyone on this even if it pains me to admit it.

If I was him I don’t think I would necessarily be interested in college head coaching job. I defensively wouldn’t have my agent out there campaigning for me to get a college job. The NBA lifestyle is pretty good and you get real downtime in the off season. All that said, I think college basketball programs that want to get ahead of the curve should take a hard look not at just NBA coaches, but NBA front office people. The college game is changing rapidly in every way. You need people that aren’t set in the way the game was before. You are going to need coaches that accept this in now completely a business and know how to operate in that environment. At a program like SLU you could definitely benefit from having someone (not the head coach) that has a NBA talent evaluation background. Not one of their college talent evaluators, but a pro talent evaluator. A guy that can put a price on what a guy is worth presently and not potentially. I don’t think a program like SLU can be in the talent development business with the resources available and given the fact NIL deals are really only a one year contracts. SLU can’t be overpaying multiple misses on the guys they give the most money to. There just isn’t going to be enough money to fill a competitive roster with a mistake or two like there would be at a UK, KU or Texas. If he doesn’t want be a college head coach I get it, lifestyle is much better in the NBA. If that were the case, then I don’t see why anyone would waste their time thinking he would want the SLU job. If he did want to be a college head, it seems like he could become one without waiting for SLU. You are spot on about the need for someone with NBA experience as an assistant coach at the college level. Someone like that could help with identifying talent and spending NIL money wisely.

thunderdan Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Billfan7 said: My 2 cents. Seemingly a lot to like. He is a relatively young upcoming NBA assistant who will be able to relate to young players. Known for player development - he is currently Ja Morant's shooting coach. Will run pro stuff - you wont see the weave. Understands and will utilize modern analytics. Tireless worker. He may be the x's and o's guy people on this board repeatedly state we need. Big question mark: Can he recruit? Never coached college ball that I know of. He does not have a big name like a Stackhouse or Hardaway. But he has coached locally at the high school level. I'd take Crews back, if it meant the Globetrotter weave goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 We are getting close to the point where you just have to stick with Ford. You really need to have a new coach in place prior to the final four. It certainly appears someone is trying to make something happen but it's time for May and Pestello to either go with it or stop it. And maybe they have stopped it and we just don't know but Frank still being active about this makes me think the wheels are still spinning in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabriel Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 SLU didn't fire Travis last week so it's not happening this offseason. When do we hit the point, where we stop crying about Travis and start trying to get behind him to land some transfers? It's not a great look when trying to land recruits when the entire fanbase is consistently pouting and wanting something that's not going to happen. The fire has been lit under his seat and Chris May knows it. Next year will be a make or break year, so rather than rooting for SLU's and Travis' downfall, let's support him for the time being and if things go wrong next season, then we can all cancel our season tickets if Travis is still at the helm.
