I like Crean and I think he has put our program in a great place. What if we land a head coach the level of Calipari? All our recruits live up to their LOI's. The three Amigos play with a chip on their shoulders. We get a great bench coach and recruiter and the new coach has the smarts to look at our team and say "I've got 8 guards maybe we should press" or "we are playing a team with 2 seven foot centers, maybe we should play a zone, pack it inside and make their lousy guards beat us" Just a thought!!!
I think that's how most people are viewing it. Crean did a great job here and brought a lot to the party, but I don't think anyone was going to confuse him with Jim Calhoun, Rick Pitino, or Roy Williams any time soon.
Calipari is slime to the nth degree. I want no part of him and I'm sure he wants no part of MU.
NO, You're right. That's my point, the program is in a place where we have the players(I know except a center), the recruits, and know we need a very good bench coach who isn't so one dimensional.
It doesn't need to Caliper, there are a number of high quality people we can now get.
