I would prefer Nurstxhorn not fart on my forehead. But it would be nice if she at least talks dirty to me every once in a while.
Alabama basketball murders
- Thread starter outhereincali

Listen man, I’ve been around the game of basketball for 20 plus years, been around coaches of all different levels and one thing I know is that the elite women’s coaches in this country (pat summit, Dawn Staley, Geno, Vic etc) they could absolutely go over to the men’s side and they’d be successful. No doubt. If CDC named Vic Shafer head coach of the men’s team tomorrow the men’s team would be successful. Just because it’s never been done before doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work and shouldn’t be considered. If I’m an Ad I’d much rather take a Dawn Staley or someone like that than I would a mid major coach who may or may not work out or trying to out bid someone for like John Calapari and hoping he still has some fire left.
Be successful? How would you define that for the UT men’s program? At UT, we aren’t about just being competitive - we expect to compete for national titles. Dawn Staley would set our program back to mediocrity and failure because she wouldn’t be able to recruit any elite prospect’s. No way she should even be in the conversation. It would just be a pure PR stunt to hire her as our men’s BB coach.
Calipari has UK playing great ball right now. One of the hottest teams now. The fact that you would rather hire Dawn Staley over John Calipari is beyond ridiculous and utterly stupid. The only way an AD would make that move is if they were looking to get fired.

So now you're changing the subject to going back to mediocrity?
Do you know how many mediocre bb coaches over the last 50 years? With the exception of Rick Barnes all of them.
Who's to say that Dawn Staley couldn't succeed where the others failed?
For starters she is a 4x Olympic gold medalist no TX coach has never done that. She's on the WNBA 15 greatest players and has gotten South Carolina to the final 4.
She won't get hired but we could do worse.
Look TX basketball has never been elite.
And we will never become elite with Dawn Staley. We would be worse because she wouldn’t have the command of the locker room with our young men and she wouldn’t be able to recruit. I just can’t believe we’re actually having this discussion. She’s not a viable option unless CDC wants to get fired.
And don't forget that the school conducted their own investigation and released it while the police investigation is ongoing.
Well isn't that special?
Agreed. They have the best women players. It’s similar logic to pursuing the top HS coach in the country. Or the top juco coach. Why don’t we pursue them? Because they aren’t viable candidates regardless of their success.
They’d do fine. One thing I’ve learned about basketball is that while fans view men’s and women’s basketball as very separate things. Players don’t view it that way. Men’s, women’s players and coaches spend a lot of time in the same circles, playing games, and there is a respect there. If Geno, or Staley walked in to recruit a kid they’d command respect. I don’t think recruiting would be a problem. Coaching wouldn’t be a problem. The game is the same. What would be a different is the amount of good teams that you play in a season. But any coach who hasn’t coached in the power 5 before has to get used to that.
Let’s be clear. I’m not saying every women’s coach could do if, but the elite ones could no problem at all.
Call me a misogynist but I have a lot of doubts myself about a woman ever being able to lead a group of men in basketball. Being an assistant coach and being a head coach are 2 different animals. I’ve been around the game and coached for a better part of 15 years myself.
It’s not the X’s and O’s part that worries me, it’s the locker room and off the court part. Whether we like or not, there’s a lot of men out there that would have an issue with a women in charge. I know that sounds kind of harsh but it’s also just a harsh reality.

This is why Becky Hammon was unable to land an NBA head coaching position. There’s no question she knows the game. It comes down to having control and command of the team, fellow coaches and management over the course of the entire season and off season. Becky even served as an NBA assistant for several years and is much more qualified to coach men than Dawn Staley.
The fact is there’s many other more qualified candidates to lead our men’s program than freaking Dawn Staley. A lady who has never coached men before. Only a fool would seriously consider her to become our next head coach. I’d welcome her to come over as an assistant and earn her way into the men’s game. She would never accept that. Nor should she. She’s got a good thing going at South Carolina.
Well getting back to the original thread.

They’ve been doing it all season. I agree they should have done away with this 2 second routine especially after one of their players is now facing capital murder charges. However, In the grand scheme it’s not a big deal. The writer of this article is just breathlessly clutching his pearls. He provided no additional facts that incriminate Brandon Miller.Well getting back to the original thread.

I've read reports that the Tuscaloosa police have discovered evidence that contradicts the school's investigation. This is going to get worse for Keith Miller.
