TD can still play, as evidenced by his performance in TBT and a roster spot in a top 5 league in Europe.  I would imagine he could probably play till he's 40 in some capacity if he wanted, give his game and style of play.
I really enjoy watching Diener play. I hope he keeps going as long as he can.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Time flies.    And Wardle is ahead of Diener on the potential HC-who-is-an-alum-and-theoretically-will-be-at-MU-until-fired list.

That said, I'd be happy if Wojo was still here in 15 years. Because there's no way he makes it to 20 without some major success.

I thought I heard the tbt announcers saying Travis didn't think coaching was for him?
They did say that...hopefully they are wrong...

I remember on Dan LeBatard's radio show (which is out of Miami and seems to have good connections with the Heat) it was mentioned awhile back that Wade thought watching Kobe's last season was uncomfortable and they didn't think he would ever announce a final season he would just retire.

Say Wojo gets offered the Duke job when Coach K retires, I'd be perfectly fine with hiring Diener as a replacement.

It's what I want to happen, someone who has ties to the university who will stay for a long time. Marquette's greatest weakness is not having a long term coach. I hope Diener or Wardle is someone who can eventually become that.

Having ties to the university isn't a mandatory.

Bobby Knight grew up in Ohio and played at Ohio State (perhaps Indiana's biggest rival). He then worked as an assistant and head coach at Army before joining IU -- where he won 662 games and 3 national titles over the course of 29 seasons.

Dean Smith was born in Kansas (over 1,000 miles from Chapel Hill). He played and served as an assistant coach at the University of Kansas before joining the staff at North Carolina -- where he won 879 games and 2 national titles over the course of 35+ seasons.

Coach K grew up in Chicago (800 miles from Duke's campus). He played for Bob Knight at Army before joining the staff there. In 1980, he was named the head coach at Duke -- where he's won more than 1,000 games and 5 national titles over the course of nearly 40 years.

Those are just a few examples. It's true that coaches such as Roy Williams and Jim Boeheim are alumni of their schools. But that's not the most important factor in a coach's longevity.

Excellent point.

And some alums proved to be gawd-awful coaches.

Matt Doherty was exhibit A, but plenty of others: Jim Les; Kevin Ollie (quick fade after winning title with Calhoun's players); Chris Mullin; Sidney Lowe; etc.

Other than Majerus, I don't think MU has had an MU grad as HC either.  At least in the lifetime's of even our eldest alums.

Brian Wardle is the only one on the horizon as best as I can tell. MU was Rick's worst stop.

Having ties to a university is also no guarantee that a successful coach will stay. Chris Mack (who played at Xavier and left the school as head coach to take the Louisville job) is the latest example.
