Was he involved with Hill's recruitment?  


So a solid development assistant, a solid all-around with recruiting focus.  One to go, looking good?

PTM- any official ruling on this? Is it UD only, or is the whole city untouchable?

For a young HC like Wojo, I wanted his bench to have a player development guy, a recruiting wiz, and a tactician/former HC.

Looks like he's got two of the three. Like what he's doing so far!

Any follow up on this guy?
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43653.0;all

Would he qualify as the recruiting whiz?

I'm just curious as to why you proclaim him to be a recruiting wiz?? Do you have any facts or is it just wishful thinking? I hope he is and he has a connection with Ahmed Hill!

Replaced Keno and promptly returned  Drake to the basement of the Valley.  Perhaps the oddest shaped head in college basketball.

what happened with him at Drake?  Seems likes he had a pretty good run there?

77-86 at Drake.    I think this makes two straight years that MU has poached a coach from Mizzou.    Wasn't Chew an assistant there before his short tenure at Illinois before MU got him?

I think he means now we have a player development guy, and a tactician/former HC (Phelps), only a recruiting wiz left.

My wife went to Drake so I follow the program.  Keno got Drake to the tourney then bolted.  It's a difficult place to win but Phelps did a truly awful job there.

And he keeps MU's streak alive for having at least one bald coach on the bench.

Yep, that's what I meant. Maybe should have made that more clear.

Wasn't 2008 Drake's only NCAA in, what, the last 30-40 years?

Also, based on Keno's success after Drake, it seems that season really was a collection of crazy good coincidences.

considering ...........

"Owning just one NCAA Tournament appearance since 1971 and two postseason bids of any kind since 1981, Phelps helped the Bulldogs advance to the CollegeInsider.com (CIT) twice in his five years (2009 and 2012), including a win over North Dakota in the opening round in 2012. Drake (18-16 overall, 9-9 MVC in 2012) finished third in the final Missouri Valley Conference standings that season and two of his players, Rayvonte Rice and Ben Simons, earned Second Team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors. In addition, three of his final four recruiting classes at Drake were ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 by various recruiting services."

Seems like Drake was on the right path - but, i don't follow the program really

Actually, Phelps is known as a recruiter, and not a tactician. In fact, the general consensus on his tenure at Drake was good recruiter/bad coach.

Dr. Tom recruited the guys who were on Drake's NCAA team and Keno coached them.   Had one great year then left.  Phelps came in and did not do much. He was fired after the 12/13 season.
