Stan Johnson is new LMU Head Coach

[Hards Alumni]

Can he recruit?

Last I checked, we don't lack for recruits, we lack for coaching.

Our talent level was below average in the Big East this year. Nova, Creighton, SHU, Xavier, Butler all had better talent. DePaul may have too.

That's not Stan's fault. It falls on the head coach. But the talent was about on par with the results, IMO.

Not having the Hausers might have had something to do with that.  But, that's a different subject.

They might not follow him, but they might feel like with Stan gone, if that was the biggest reason they came to MU, then why stay??

If only Stan had brought you

rumors swirling Stan bringing Wojo as assistant to LMU

[Dawson Rental]

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

Holy Cross isn't Jesuit. 

[Billy Hoyle]

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.

ah yes, the Millennial answer to why someone is qualified: they're "a great twitter follow."

They are. It's interesting that College of the Holy Cross is not Order of the Holy Cross.

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.

I'm amazed you know that.

Why is he a former video coordinator?

If you paid attention to Sperber, you'd know why he's qualified. He is definitely qualified & is also a great Twitter follow.

There are absolutely things this staff has demonstrated they are incapable of doing that Sperber excels at. He has used those skills at the D1 level before. I don't care if he can recruit, what he would bring to the table would be more valuable.

My dad went to Holy Cross and gave me the impression that they were a Holy Cross school.  He also said that Notre Dame stole their fight song which puts going to one of their games on my bucket list.

Thanks for the correction.

Is,"he publicizes his unique and effective basketball philosophies for others to read" better for you?

This coaching staff has turned a blind eye to the importance of analytics and the results on the court have suffered.

Huh?  Jake was the analytics guy and got promoted to AC.

[HutchwasClutch]

No news matters about this program  until Scholl and Lovell wake up and fire Wojo.  Nothing is going to matter until that mercifully happens. Until then, we're in D1 hoops purgatory

If that's why he's there, that's a problem.

Exactly.....

"MU ignores analytics!"

Actually, MU has an assistant coach on staff who specialized in analytics.

"That's a problem!"

Ain't nothing some won't complain about around here.

Then why are you checking MUScoop? You won't be getting that news, so no news matters here.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Congrats to Stan! Amazing opportunity. I will be rooting for LMU and his success moving forward.

Good to have assistants move on to HC jobs.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Thank you Stan. Best of luck out in LA.

Tough market but he will do well.

  Exactly my sentiments as well

Our staff has shown no ability to effectively use analytics. If someone is getting promoted based on analytics and these are the results, that's a problem.

I'm not sure if Dodds and interesting go together..

Good point.

I can't say I'm surprised that the lead photo on the article is of himself though !
