Billikenbooster Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Isnt Coach Tate in charge of coaching the big men? If so, hasn't the development of our big men been one of the weaknesses of our program? Time to move on. BillsThrills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s not scouting, or recruiting outside St. Louis and there’s nobody to recruit in St Louis: He was recruiting in Orlando the day after VCU. My wife talked to him as they were on the same flight.

slufan13 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Everyone's gotta go. Losing breeds losing. Tate has connections. He did well. But it's a different world in recruiting. Clean house.

Why are people harping on this health thing? He gave us one of the best and most memorable Billiken teams of all time. The problem was hiring f'ing Jim "Temu Bob Knight" Crews. If we had hired Moser or something things would have been just fine. That team was GOOD. Columbus was the best Billiken memory i have in my lifetime. STFU Old Guy. Shove it.

A coach that lasts a couple of years, spends the last year of his life unable to work and leaves the team in the hands of a certifiably terrible coach is not worth getting.

This isn’t wether or not you’d storm the beaches knowing how much Dutch a$$ you’d get if you make it out alive. I’d take 3 more NCAA tournaments in a row in the same exact scenario without question. We’ll deal with finding a new coach when it comes around with 3 years of NCAA credits on the books. Old guy and TheDude like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs the offense through the 5. He understands that guys at that position who can pass, dribble and shoot don't grow on trees. Curious as to what his roster construction would look like if he doesn't have a 5 to build around. I don't enjoy watching the NBA but I do like that Jokic is making the passing/shooting big man fashionable again.

But at this stage of the game with Ford still not given his walking papers, what you should take away is that someone who would know is saying that SLU is looking in the a great direction.
