Pistol Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I know all of these names have already come up elsewhere but I think we need to establish a comprehensive list and keep it in one place. I'll add the note that I think about 6-8 of these guys aren't realistic at all. And of the rest, SLU will obviously not reach out to all of them. Josh Schertz - Indiana State Chris Mack - Retired Porter Moser - Oklahoma Darian DeVries - Drake Brian Wardle - Bradley Blake Ahearn - Memphis Grizzlies (assistant) Mike Brey - Atlanta Hawks (assistant) Dustin Kerns - Appalachian State Bruce Weber - Retired Mark Byington - James Madison Bryce Drew - Grand Canyon Ben McCollum - Northwest Missouri State Mike Morrell - UNC Asheville Chester Frazier - Illinois (assistant) Bucky McMillan - Samford Jake Diebler - Ohio State (interim) Preston Spradlin - Morehead State DeAndre Haynes - Marquette (assistant) Chris Holtmann - Fired by Ohio State - DePaul Dusty May - Florida Atlantic Pat Kelsey - Charleston Danny Sprinkle - Utah State Tom Crean - Retired Chris Carrawell - Duke (assistant) Chris Harriman - SLU (assistant) Cuonzo Martin - Retired Joe Gallo - Merrimack gabriel likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The 2 with the most smoke are Schertz and Mack. If it's Mack we should know very soon as he's a free agent and doesn't have to wait until selection Sunday like some of the others. So what's reasonable on that? A few days? If we don't hear anything on that front we can assume it's not Mack. BLIKNS and Lord Elrond like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Schertz has a fascinating background. This is a must read: https://theathletic.com/5238989/2024/01/31/josh-schertz-indiana-state-basketball/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Schertz isn't quite as D1 proven as the other guys but for once it seems like we'd be hiring an ascending guy. That's always a little risky but let's be aggressive. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 From above who are realistically possible? Definition: They would have mutual interest. Guys like Kelsey, Mays, Sprinkle, and DeVries are holding out for P6 jobs. They would view SLU as a lateral move not a step up. I think Mack falls into this group as well.

I'd prefer to nip my Mack fantasy in the bud ASAP. @TheOne: if there is mutual interest between SLU and Mack please respond by releasing blue smoke. If there is NO mutual interest between SLU and Mack, white smoke. If you want me to shut up don't respond to this at all.

Cardinal Mack, Cardinal Schertz, Cardinal Moser? What name will they take as Pope? My guess: Pope Majerus II BILLS324 and Slu let the dogs out? like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The future of Schertz can swing wildly over the next week or so. IF Indiana State is on the wrong side of the bubble, that's good news for SLU because he suddenly becomes a lot less attractive to P6 schools. The only drawback for SLU is the possibility that he could then have a long run in the NIT which would delay his hire. Another scenario that might be even better for SLU - ISU gets in as an 11 seed and loses in the play-in game. In this scenario, he again is not very attractive to the P6 schools who are often drawn to a flavor of the month coach who wins a game or two in the NCAA Tournament. If his team makes a little noise in the Dance, then I think we're quickly out of contention. thelaundry and slufan13 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shempie Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I will be very surprised if SLU hires an assistant coach (without head coaching experience on their resume) unless it is a financially driven decsion. That would be inconsistent with what was said during the last hiring cycle and inconsistent with the last two women's head coaching hires.

thetorch Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I don't think Mack is a candidate anymore. Schertz is getting some P6 looks now. He wasn't 3 weeks ago. I put zero trust in May to make the right hire and to make a timely hire. My prediction is we get played by multiple candidates and enable them to get raises or more money at better jobs and then we are forced to hire a 2nd tier guy like Wardle or a retired retread. A real AD would have had McCollum locked up before Christmas. TheA_Bomb likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
