In the Steve Masiello camp

[Blackhat]

Young, energetic coach who has proven he can recruit...

Get it done MU, don't be lazy with Wardle.

What would it take to get Shacka Smart?

[T-Bone]

He's got that Pitino smarm down to a tee. Wonder if he has a white suit in his closet.

Hopefully Cords et al.  are trying to find out.

Closer to McGuire than Buzz...NY roots....bout time we give the job to a daigo.

No. You don't hire a shitbag after winning or taking a good team to the wire in the tournament.

[jaygall31]

I'd sell my soul for Shack Smart.

We'd probably have to move into the big 10.

[Norm]

Manhattan looked awesome last night - better than most teams that moved on yesterday. Sign me up for the Masiello camp.

[MUMBA]

I love Masiello - nyc guy ans former ny knick ballboy - an MSG gym rat.  my family all went to Manhattan. All big fans that follow the team closely. Not sure where he'd fall on my list, but he fits the profile - young w/ upside.

[Rockmic87]

Howland would be a much better option. 80% of you guys on this board didn't even know who Masiello was until last night, smh.

[Blackhat]

The young, energetic recruiting coach type hire has served MU well.

Keep it going, don't go for the guy looking for his retirement check.

[Sharpie]

My vote is for Masiello, Smart, or Marahall if any of these guys are interested.

Hell no to Howland. No thanks. Everyone seems to hate playing for the guy.

[SERocks]

I think Howland's style of basketball would bore me to tears.  Much rather have an up tempo kind of guy.  Always loved Pitino's teams.  If Masiello learned anything from Pitino (and I think he did), I think he could be an excellent choice.  I would support that.  Not interest in Howland or Wardle.

Same here. Plus he actually played in college at UK (granted as a walk-on), unlike Crean and Buzz, who have the same lackluster HS resume as me. Plus, being an NYC guy, he likely views the Big East & MSG as a positive (or at least not a negative like Buzz did). Would really like to see what he could do with the current roster. Seems like an upbeat energetic likeable guy too. As a total package, I view him as a potential upgrade (which is saying something given how I view Buzz).

What possible difference does the name recognition by people on MU Scoop have to do with how good a coach Masiello is?

[LAZER]

Doesn't Masiello seem like the type of guy who uses MU for a few years and moves on?

[keefe]

bout time we give the job to a daigo.

Nihon-jin desu ka?

He's Japanese?

Well all you guys say Bo Ryan plays boring basketball, but the Badgers are in the Tourney and we are looking in. Give me a coach that wins and I won't care what style of basketball they play.

Can you imagine Hopkins coming here and installing the 2-3?!

Oh, the boards may be wanting the Badger Bruising D instead! lol

Really?  I went to MU and UW so I don't have the rabid hate for UW that most do.  Also I love college basketball.  However, I cannot stand to watch Wisky play.  Just bores me to tears. Like watching baseball.  Ugh.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Masiello looks like he is going to South Florida

[NickelDimer]

What would it take to get Shacka Smart?

Being a blue blood with an opening.  I think he's close to Brad Stevens status.  He's not leaving for anything but an elite college

Or he may be Wisconsin's next coach when Bo retires.
