Stan Johnson is new LMU Head Coach

[Pakuni]

Good for Stan.
Will hurt recruiting-wise for a bit, but seeing Stan and Nelson land respectable head coaching gigs also makes MU attractive to quality assistants.

[brewcity77]

So...anyone know how much Pat Baldwin Sr is making at Milwaukee?

Loyola Marymount AD Craig Pintens is a Marquette Law grad 2001, worked then in Marketing for MU a year then came back 2004-2009 (Texas Pan Am 2 years) to work 5 more years in MU Athletic Department. He is in his 2nd year as LMU AD after spending 7 years at Oregon. He did his undergrad at Whitewater.

Killings is an outstanding recruiter and even more importantly is a NortEast ties kinda guy.
Stan did a great job, but getting guys from Nevada, Arizona, and California is always significantly more difficult.  Which does speak to Stans recruiting chops in that he was able to get as many as he did. The Midwest n Northeast will always be our bread n butter tho

And that made mine and Gurus comments about western state kids be detached from reality?

LMU is a decent gig but Holy Cross is a dumpster fire.

Brendan turns 23 this summer.
Unless the NCAA changes the transfer rule pronto - doubtful given everything else going on - he'd have to sit out a year if he transfers.
I'd be very surprised if he wanted to do that - and essentially being playing college basketball into his mid 20s - because an assistant coach left.

Oso ... who knows? But it would be pretty unusual for a kid to be let out of a NLI because an assistant coach left.

I thought the transfer rule was changing anyways? Did I imagine that?

[GooooMarquette]

A tough loss for Marquette, and a big gain for LMU.

Congrats to Stan!

[4everwarriors]

Hooever transfers or gets outta his LOI, sew bee it, hey?

[WarriorPride68]

Holy Cross is a dumpster fire.

3-29 record & lost to a D3 school in December

It's been proposed, not approved.

[Galway Eagle]

It's been proposed, not approved.

Gotcha thanks for the clarification.

[Mr. Nielsen]

what is LMU?

Look up there season in 1990. Unreal scoring, sadness of Hank and magical run.

[Markusquette]

Kind of a bummer. Seemed really instrumental in recruiting. No reason to think we cannot replace him though.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Around 350k per year. 5 year deal.

[pbiflyer]

Ah hem,from the interim coach thread.

Yep. Stan or Wojo or both will not be here next year. My money is on Stan.

[Billy Hoyle]

Amazing campus and location, strong academics, poor athletics facilities but a new gym likely coming (they have some donors with deep pockets). After the Hank tragedy, the lawsuits and subsequent violations that were uncovered LMU leadership emphasized sports, especially basketball. Mike Dunlap had a great year (for LMU) in 18-19 but injuries cost him this year. They are set up to do well next year, which is why Dunlap was fired with a year left on his deal. If Saint Stan can keep LA kids at home (like Dunlap did Eli Scott) LMU can be top 5 in the WCC.

Dunlap made $675K, Stan probably making more.

Nice call.  Too bad our administration couldn't make the right call either.  Stan > Wojo.

Congrats to Stan.  Wojo's job just got a lot harder.  Ace recruiter.  Gone.

Wojo's coaching tree starting to corner the Jesuit market.

On a serious note, my first call would be former New Mexico State video coordinator Jordan Sperber. Understands game breakdowns & tendencies as well as anyone and really gets the advanced metrics that are necessary to a functional modern day staff.

Can he recruit?

He's a great twitter follow too. He makes a lot of sense to us but I'm not sure how much this staff embraces the analytics of the game vs. precious staffs.

Coaching and prep work should be much higher on the list than recruiting for this staff.

Thank you Stan. Best of luck out in LA.

Tough market but he will do well.
