Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 08:13:27 PMIve always thought his entire career was pretty fugazi.  His brother was clearly the far superior coach during his assistant stints.  Funny enough, Rhode Island absolutely stunk when he was an assistant there before taking the Buffalo job.  Dan only got them cooking 3-4 years after Bobby left.

Not that he walked into a plum gig in Buffalo, but he inherited a team of mostly juniors and seniors in a down spell for the MAC after Groce left for U of I (but before he came back to Akron), before Kowalczyk got successful at Toledo, none of the head coaches of the "top teams" in the MAC during Hurley's tenure are either back to assistant gigs or HCs at a lower level than mid major.  He had 2 decent years, with no significant or impressive non conference wins and a lone NCAA appearance and first round exit.  What Oats did at Buffalo after him was VASTLY more impressive even if he had flamed out at Bama.

Then he's been utter garbage at ASU.  11 years of his mediocrity shows how little they actually care about basketball in Tempe. 2 NCAA bids, a First Four appearance, and ZERO postseason wins in 11 seasons...not even an NIT or CBI/CBC win.

If anyone is dumb enough to give him another HC job this season or next, its simply because they loved early 90s Duke and nothing else cause his resume makes Wojo look like Wooden.

Hurley hired Oats at Buffalo. He was a high school coach in Michigan where he was coaching E.C. Matthews. Hurley recruited him to Rhode Island.

Matthews was at one point being recruited by Buzz to come to MU.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 03:30:41 PMNot a surprise, but sounds like Bobby Hurley is officially out at ASU once their season ends.

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 05:35:16 PMGreat, so at least 2 nonconf losses next year :/



Who knows what teams will be like early next year?

Michigan could be losing as many as 7 guys off their current 9 man rotation between players running out of eligibility or leaving early for the NBA, and Cason redshirting after his ACL injury.

And Wisconsin will be scouring the portal for more 25 year old stars to replace their senior transfers. It might take these teams some time to gel too.

Remember when the Big Ten held their conference tourney early so they could use our gym? Losers.

To be honest, I have always thought he knew enough to be a decent troll.

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on Today at 06:00:16 PMNobody seems to disagree about Hamilton here except Shaka and staff. The issue is when filling out this roster is if Shaka goes, 'well we can plug Hamilton in for 20 minutes, let's find the rest somewhere else'. He's clearly overestimated his ability the past two seasons, it's not a given he doesn't do it again.

This might me the mental out Shaka needs to get a centrex from the portal.  Not recruiting over Hamilton (Shaka thinking 20 minutes) and then the next venter gets here, plays well and Shaka wants to win.  Might be good
