http://www.bigeastcoastbias.com/2015/5/19/8623825/report-marquette-assistant-mark-phelps-to-leave-for-same-role-at-arizona

There will be an opening on Steve Wojciechowski's coaching staff, it seems.

Jason Scheer of WildcatAuthority.com, an Arizona Wildcats site, tweeted that Marquette assistant Mark Phelps would be joining Arizona's staff as an assistant coach, replacing Damon Stoudamire who left Arizona for Memphis on Monday.

Phelps came to Marquette last year as part of Wojciechowski's inaugural coaching staff. Prior to coming to Marquette, Phelps was an assistant at Missouri under Frank Haith alongside current DePaul head coach Dave Leitao.

Phelps also has experience at the head coaching level, having coached Drake University from 2008-2013. He compiled a 77-86 record in his time at Drake.

Do we need someone with more experience?  Right now there is a grand total of one year's experience as a head coach on the staff.

I think there's little doubt that Travis will be elevated to Asst. Coach.  But I agree with the notion that an experienced veteran x and o guy would be great in the Director of Basketball Ops. position.  Pretty sure Jerry wants to stay retired but I have high regard for him.

Jeez, you'd think a team that finished ninth in its conference could keep its coaching together for at least a year. Guess not.

Evidently, the industry holds our coaching staff in high regard in spite of their first year results.

Well, if it's not players leaving, it's assistant coaches. Stability doesn't have much of a home at MU.

Program stability depends on stability at the head coach spot.  Since Al, I don't think that Marquette has had the same guy for as long as a decade.  IIRC, Crean came closest at nine years.

As for assistants, you want guys that other programs covet.  As long as assistants are leaving for promotions or spots at just a few programs that can be considered a step up, it's all good.  Didn't Duke lose a top assistant two years in a row to become a head coach at a Midwest school?

I think that Wojo's a fast learner.  I'm all for letting him in the pool this year without the floaties.

The recruiting under the new regime has been getting an A+.

The in-game coaching last season probably got about a C.

If Phelps was our experienced guy who was supposed to educate Wojo on in-game issues, I'm not too concerned about his departure.

Yeah, I think that is pretty much where I fall on this.  Who was the Scooper who knew Drake pretty well who never thought this was a good hire?

After how many years on the Duke staff?

I get it that assistants leave. But it would be nice to keep the same staff together for a few years...rather than having to recalibrate already.

First people bemoan hiring a "loser like Phelps".

Then Arizona hires him and people bemoan "losing assistant coaches".

This isn't a mass-exodus situation.  Wojo is bringing back 80% of his bench back.  People need to settle down.

Sean Miller may have been looking for something different from what Wojo needs.  Wojo is still learning how to be THE guy for in-game situations.  Miller seems to have a pretty good handle on that already.

Win-win.

If we allegedly spend the second-most money on our basketball program, how is it that we lose coaches to lateral moves? Is Phelps taking a pay cut? Or do we just not get into bidding wars?
