Possible Coaching Candidates Based on Facts and Stats

[Tums Festival]

Not at all thrilled with the possibility of Cuonzo Martin being our new coach. He's had a smattering of success and I'm not sure where he gets a reputation as a great recruiter. His classes at Tennessee have been average at best.

I suggest you do your research on that recruiting tip buddy. He is far and away a better recruiter than Buzz. Like I said, he almost got Looney. Buzz never had a chance.

[Fullodds]

There is a thread on him.  He's supposedly a douche.  Buzz type persona, I think that's probably why the admin is not interested.

It's amazing to me how we lost our last two coaches to "better" conferences, yet we can't persuade coaches from lesser conferences to come here, despite the ability to make them a top 10 paid coach.  I always knew pro sports teams in Milwaukee had to pay a "bad city" tax, but I guess I didn't realize Marquette was viewed the same way.

Let the Brian Wardle era begin!

[Fred Garvin]

Dwayne Stephens or LaVall Jordan,young guns with something to prove.Will get top talent here!

Jeff Capel would be a good candidate too. Recruited Parker, Tyus, and Okafor to Duke.  Did decent at OU.

Was the first Coach to put VCU on the map. And did decently at OU.

Cuonzo

Not a ton of post-season success, although there is a general trend of improvement YoY. Missouri State got better offensively but not defensively.

Tennessee got better offensively every year. This year's team has a great profile, so why did they lose so many games?



Archie

Consistently good offensively but not defensively.

Obviously, there are a lot of coaches names being thrown around as possibilities:  Holland, Martin, Hopkins, Wardle, Bennett, and Miller to name a few. 

A lot of opinions are thrown out who should be our next coach, but I'd like this posting to express your opinion with some empirical evidence as support (i.e. recruiting class ranks each year).   I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable fans of basketball here.  Who should be our next coach based upon more than just, "Hey, I like that guy as a coach," but some good reasons as to why they should be here at Marquette. 

Please see:  Marquette's next target.  I posted about as much empirical evidence as you can to support a hire.  It's a shame, but the quality of posts in this forum is pretty low.  Everything that is stated, would be better suited for a twitter feed.  Not to mention most of the responses are gut reaction without any or very little substantiated evidence.

Thanks, Henry.

Miller turned us down already

Both.  Now get Ben Howland and you check both boxes.

You can leave at anytime, if you don't like it.  Just sayin'

[GoldenWarrior11]

For those of you that had Mike D'Antoni as your dark horse, he's apparently interested in Marshall's opening.

I wasn't talking about Miller.  Scott Drew might be the "secret person still in the tournament" that MU is interested in.  People say it's Cuonzo, but he can't recruit.  Not to mention, the seniors on his team are Bruce Pearl recruits.  Otherwise he consistently recruits 3 star guys @ Tennessee when Pearl used to recruit 4-5 star guys.  

Drew can recruit pretty well and has a stellar record in the NCAA tourney.  Not to mention, his recruits are squeaky clean.  

Otherwise, I'd take Howland or.....  perhaps there's some assistant that's up and coming that expert's have heard of.  Either way, history dictates that it will be a younger guy rather than Howland.

In the last three seasons Martin has recruited one ESPN 100 player to Tennessee compared to Brett bringing six to Marquette. Also, Brett's classes were all higher ranked nationally. So, tell me another story.

Mike D'antoni - He'd be best suited to go to VMI where they put up 100+ pts a game and don't have any defensive sets.

Perhaps the glasses are a little too dark?

Not that I'm interested in him as a candidate, but what is Darrin Horn up to these days?  Is he an assistant any where?

[Marquette Fan in WI]

There is a thread on him.  He's supposedly a douche.  Buzz type persona, I think that's probably why the admin is not interested.

There have been numerous threads on Wardle being a douche yet he's still mentioned. Mentioned too often for my taste.

Pretty sure he's working for ESPN.
