Not to mention he's had arguably the second best program in the country over the last half decade.

Its far more about Mrs. Bennett among other things?

[VegasWarrior77]

Beard is also the divorced father of three daughters who live in west Texas.  He has called Texas Tech his dream job.  He isn't coming to Milwaukee.

Yep.  He was UNLV's coach for ~ 19 days when the Texas Tech job suddenly became available (Tubby Smith to Memphis after Josh Pastner went to Georgia Tech).

It was at first in 2009, then Tony changed his mind too late.

The problem with Tony was timing. It had nothing to do with the Deane hiring process.

[Warrior_2002]

I've never heard anything about Bennett not coming to MU because his dad was shunned here.  All I ever herd was that his dad was upset Tony didn't get a look from UW.  Many thought in the past Tony would come to MU to get back at UW.  That may not be 100% true but the MU shunning is definitely not true.

[Warrior_2002]

Don't think Bennett would come but I would love to get him.  All you complaining about slow, winning basketball are crazy.  I don't care how we win.  Just win. Consistently.

I dropped his name frequently during MU's last 6 or so games.

One coaching position I would like to see is for MU to hire Duane Wilson as a graduate assistant . I was very impressed at how he conducted himself that last year at Texas A and M. He is a solid leader and can relate to the younger kids on the team . Given the surplus of talent locally a helpful recruiting asset as well.1

It would not surprise me if Buzz reaches out to him at the new gig. Wojo should get there first.

[The Sultan]

Want no part of Bennett and that slow down offense...no thanks. I'd take Chris Beard in a heartbeat though. But that wouldn't happen.

Yeah it would just suck having Bennett as Marquette's coach. 🙄

You crack me up.

No sh!t...he is worth twice as much as wojo...nice run in the tourney...more impressive is their consistency in the acc.  That family can coach.

Buzz already has Joe Fulce as his guy in that role.  Maybe Buzz should also reach out to the other ex player you mention, and show us his instagram/twitter stuff, JJJ.  Maybe he takes a Virginia Tech player and not kids he coached over five years ago. 

Are those kids even living in Milwaukee?

Fulce can get a promotion. The young kids at A and M know and respect Duane.

Duane's Dad is a major figure in Club ball in Milwaukee

Not that hard to connect the dots on this potential hire.

Wojo needs some outreach to the players here in Milwaukee which is why I think he would be wise to make this kind of move.

Tonight's results not withstanding...I would feel like I was rooting for/supporting UW if TB was MU's Coach..Same style's. HATE it. Now North Carolina's style on the other hand...sign me up any day for that!

OK.  But does Wojo and his staff talk to Duane's Dad personally, or do they have to go through Duane?

There are limits on what a grad assistant can do externally . So outbound contacts would need to be made by those on coaching staff who are authorized to make those contacts. Once the kids are inside the tent then a different level of contact.
