MU Coaching Candidates

He left when he did because it was the only shot he would have to get drafted so highly.  That draft class was one of the worst in the last 25 years.  If he plays another year or two years, he gets drafted nowhere close to that high.

He should've stayed four years. He would've been the number 1 pick!

[jonny09]

You're comparing him to two 4 year players!!!

Which does circle back however to my original point had he just stayed couple more years..,

Also didn't help that Henry was/is an absolutely atrocious defender with heavy feet.  And yes, his shot was always average at best and it got worse while in Detroit.

Yeah, what is Wojo's record concerning player development anyways?  Mmmmhhhhhmmm 

[HutchwasClutch]

Yeah still doesn't make it a high major job. You're either a high major based on conference, or you win enough to be considered above your level like Gonzaga

A10- Mid Major, upper echelon but still mid major

10 NCAA appearances All time- not impressive certainly not enough to not be a mid major

End of the day you cannot be someone calling for Wojos head because of lack of success then turn around and call SLU a high major.

Fine, I misstated. They're better described a mid major, who hits high major now and then (Spoonhour years too).

The nit picking and petty arguments  on this board that misses the forest for the trees makes your head spin

LaSalle loses by 26 at home to Dayton.
It really wasn't that close.

Patience... let him get recruit and develop his guys first.  You've given Wojo ....... 6 years now?

[Cheeks]

Markus Howard...development.

Sacar Anim...development

Cain and Elliott we shall see, both were 3 stars

Bailey much better year two than year one

Etc etc

Don't think Wojo ever lost a conference home game by 26.
But regardless, this isn't about Wojo. It's about whether the guy you think should replace him is up to the task.

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

Yeah, how's Howard's defense doing?  I'd argue he hasn't developed as much as he should have overall.  He's always been a shooter. Still, He's a liability on the defensive side of the ball which is why he won't see the NBA.

His defense is better now than it was a few years ago....I believe most of the evidence supports this.

1.  Doc.  After the Clips get knocked out of the playoffs with the most talented roster in the NBA (well, at least one of the top 3), offer him the spot.   
2.  Diener.  I like the concept of alumni as coach... but I really think Wardle is a horrible recruiter and not a great coach.  Would rather take a punt on Diener.  Plus I'd like to see if he can land 1-2 Euro-recruits that would be under the radar for other programs.
3.  Wade.  He needs to do something other than post beach photos on his instagram.

And given MU's ability to tolerate coaches who are a little bit "different"... in fact my first real phone call would be to Becky Hammon.  Tapping into Pop's legacy and NBA style player development would be timely when the 18 year old rule comes back.

[Pakuni]

Hiring a former star player with minimal experience seems like a great idea. I mean, look how well it worked for St. John's.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

SLU is not a high major school? I didn't say they're an elite program. But they compete with the big boys

No.

Or Houston with Clyde Drexler

Dan Fitzgerald has coached more tournament wins than Wojo will ever sniff.  #HireDan #CantMissWithFitz

[Lennys Tap]

Markus Howard...development.

Sacar Anim...development

Cain and Elliott we shall see, both were 3 stars

Etc etc

Some say Bailey's on his way to being an "all timer".

[brewcity77]

Dan hasn't coached any of those teams.

His defense has much improved and he is also a little bit of a slasher inside, teardrops, takes a hit with best of them, gotta penetrate more then dish back out to BB, GE or even Jamal

[GoldenDieners32]

Bring in DWade

It's sad I can't tell what is meant to be serious and what is meant to be a joke in this thread.
