Diener back @ MU?

[avid1010]

the other board is discussing based upon worse sources than shaka to mu, but i'd certainly love to have travis around for the next 3-5 years and possibly in waiting for wojo to go back to duke if all things go well for him at mu.  did i miss the thread on here or is their no credibility to the story?

No coaching experience.  No reason to hire someone with none.

yeah, what does phil jackson know.  

and for that matter...you know that's how our current coach got his first gig right??  at duke nonetheless, with that moron coach k. hiring a coach without any experience...and from the rumors on the other board the gig isn't even an assistant coaching job so he could get his feet wet without taking an official coaching spot.

He comes from a family of coaches. Besides that there would not be any coaches, if no one gave them the first job.

He's looking at the DBO SADS position. (Sultan is more correct than me)

His oldest is nearing school age, and he's been mulling over hanging up the laces to return to the states. A lot of his decision will be made after this season ends and those results. He is 32 years old.

It would be for the Student Athlete Development Specialist position which is about as entry-level as you can get.  (Jamie McNeilly filled this position under Buzz.)  And Deiner would be a tremendous fit and probably over-qualified.  

A former MU player, NBA player, and a solid career in Europe?  He'd be fantastic.

Not the DBO position.  Justin Gainey has that.

Yep, you are correct.

thanks for the info...would love to see him back at MU involved with bball in any capacity.

for titles like SADS and DOB...how does the NCAA oversee those positions?  i would positions like SADS and DOB have to be regulated to ensure they're not just different titles for assistant coach?

He's actually put together a nice year in Italy too.  He was the MVP of the Italian Basketball Cup.  He could definitely keep playing over there if he wants, but a position this close to home doesn't open up all that often.  And as PTM said, his family is at the point where some decisions need to be made.

And PTM his season ended over there at the end of April.

My information is highly outdated.

If you can break into coaching at an elite program why bother with paying your dues at Precious Blood Middle School?

I'm not exactly sure, but neither position can conduct off-site recruiting.  I'm sure they have some responsibilities that are mandated by the NCAA, but they are basically just assistant coaches.

Don't see how this doesn't make all the sense in the world from MU's standpoint.  Huge from an alumni base and connection standpoint(he's gotta help with fundraising right?).  He's got a ton of connections in Wisconsin either himself or through family.  He'd be coming into a very low risk position....I see no reason why this wouldn't be a no brainer if he wants the job.

Listen Sallys, I never said he couldn't be an assistant, but to place him in line "for when Wojo leaves for Duke" in 3-5 years would be stupid.

I never said he couldn't do it, but 3-5 years is a lot too quick to be the head coach of a BEAST school considering he has zero experience.

Well I agree, but your post wasn't terribly clear when all you said was:  "No coaching experience.  No reason to hire someone with none."

Listen Sallys,

I prefer Henrietta when I'm being referred to in a derogatory manner, just more interesting.....thanks chum

Not sure why this has any traction whatsoever. And I would wager that Wojo is far from the leading candidate to succeed K at this point. There are many strong horses in that field.

Agreed

Vastly more likely that Wardle would be the go to alum coach in waiting than Diener.

I replied unclearly to an unclear statement.

I'll get up against the wall.

I care what these assistants credentials are--This is not a who's who's, I want to win basketballs games NOW.
What did Carawell, Nelson and the guy Drake accomplish recruiting?  NOTHING!. Diener, who knows.
I hope they do well and I'm wrong. I what experience  recruiters.

Yeah, why the hell can't Wojo get K, Donovan, and Izzo on our bench?!  Along with Roy Williams as our DBO and Calipari as the Student Athlete Development Specialist?  This hire is a FAIL!  Wojo still hasn't won a game yet!
