You'd think CCC would want to move quickly on this hire to help with the recruiting. Always plenty anxiety over here.
Hopefully CCC has an eye on assistants who can bring player development up a couple of notches in places he sees it deficient. Recruiting doesn’t seem, to me, to be our biggest problem.
Anyone care to toss out some potential candidates?I'm pretty sure the staff has already been interviewing candidates.

Chris Lauten (our director of bball ops) just followed Jon Borovich from NIU on Twitter. Would be a logical fit.
Wow. Call me ignorant, but how is this inspiring? Somehow, I was hoping for something a bit more than... well, just a bit more. How far things and our expectations have fallen since the NCAA tourney appearance.

Did you even look at his profile? Associate head coach, up and coming type who's been part of successful programs and started at MSU. If he can recruit Chicagoland, he could be a nice addition to the staff.

If it's this chump, sorry, but I don't see how that's a step forward for the program.
Nice.
How is Armon Gates, who came from mid-major Loyola and spent two seasons there when they went a combined 22-39 in the Horizon League an "inspiring get" but this guy is a chump?sorry, for my bluntness, but I'm not a fan of taking any unproven people from the mid-major level who don't know what it's like to compete as a coach or a player at this level. Especially not after the Cushing and Carmody experiments.

Sorry that is just dumb. And should be beneath you. You trying to be the rights version of Corbi?Being a graduate assistant at MSU doing video analysis isn't what I call credentials when that's the best that you've got (and looking at his career, it feels like the closest thing to inspirational in my book). And when you said he started at MSU, I only later realized you meant his career as a graduate assistant, and not as a player. He was like the gocatsgo for MSU hoops.
Brian James. Armon Gates. Pat Baldwin. These were inspiring gets. Donlan perhaps too given that he was coming from Michigan. Get me someone with NBA credentials, someone who has been a part of a championship program as a player or as an assistant. Or at least African-American like Diddy because at least and he can relate more to the players. A year ago, we were talking about ex-Duke players that were grad assistants. Someone who can talk about what it takes to get a ring. Why not one of them? If we can't get anyone like that, At least someone who coached (not did video analysis or cut newspaper clippings) or played for a Power 5 team.

I'm interested in more of your thoughts about Diddy.sorry, for my bluntness, but I'm not a fan of taking any unproven people from the mid-major level who don't know what it's like to compete as a coach or a player at this level. Especially not after the Cushing and Carmody experiments.

Can someone remind me of all the big-conference coaching experience Baldwin had before NU?
Or Izzo before he went to MSU.
And where's the long list of asst coaches who Collins hired that suck
Whoever runs that putrid offense
Master P seems a better fit.I'm interested in more of your thoughts about Diddy.
Master P seems a better fit.
Hope he likes purple ties! Welcome to the team. Things have worked out well in the past when we've hired folks from NIU's athletic department.
uninspiring hire indeed
