You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Is it normal to have two associate heavy coaches? (Killings being the other)

Johnson and Nelson were both Associate Head Coaches at the same time.

Meh

Agreed, who needs a coach who played PG in the ACC, and has been coaching PGs since?  And shouldn't we have gone for a third assistant with East Coast recruiting ties?

Yes there will be a hunger games style fight to replace Wojo

I would be more excited about the hire if it was someone coming back from the staff after having success (if MU was actually winning tournament games during his previous time here), but seeing as there hasn't exactly been success under this current staff, I would have liked to see them bring someone in from outside of the "group" to try and bring in some new blood and new ideas.

Like the hire. Seems like a nice replacement for Stan. And he holds up the recruiting in the west and southwest.

Interesting side note ... Gainey was the lead recruiter at Santa Clara for highly sought transfer Trey Wertz.

Fun fact: Wertz's dad covers high school sports for the Charlotte Observer. The dad had to write about the son quite often because the kid played on one of the state's best teams (Dotson, of Kansas, was a teammate). And generally, I thought he did a really good job of staying objective. That couldn't have been easy.

As for the choice of Gainey being the "easy" one ...

The "easiest" coaching choice at MU in the last several decades was promoting Buzz from assistant to head coach. That worked out horribly.

The hatred for Wojo is so deep in some that just about anything he does draws automatic criticism. When that's the case, there is zero credibility.

It appears to be a solid hire. He was a good player at NC State. Experienced coach coming back to familiar turf. AZ obviously liked him, which speaks well. He’ll help coach-up the guards.
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

You’d think he’d know from experience that Wojo allows a toxic culture in his program and that the only thing keeping the program somewhat together it’s left for Southern California. Maybe he figured he’d fill those shoes.

I'm aware Fluffy...but I'd be willing to bet thousands of $$$ they didn't look at some of the top assistants in the country. Wanna take that bet?? As far as I know, they looked into one other guy, after that fell through they did the easy thing and hired Gainey. It's really that simple...to think it wasn't, is being naïve.
Why would top assistants in the country want to come to MU to take the second assistant position?

Gainey was hired as an associate coach.  Just like Killings.  I don't think they have an order.

We can all assume the hottest girl in school won't go out with us, and that's probably fair...but unless you ask, you won't completely know for sure. And if you never ask and find out later on, she would have even though she was still with her old boyfriend at the time, you would regret it forever. If she says no, big deal, you were expecting her to. Nothing lost. You work down the list of hot girls until you have exhausted the list of hot chicks and have to move on to the average one's. They will always be there for you.

Yep - It’s hard to hire someone out of your network when no one wants to work with you.

Some of us might have exhausted the hot chicks but it certainly wasn't from saying no

We just got an assistant from Sean Miller and Arizona - the only thing better would be to get one from Bill Self and Kansas!

Just win, baby!

It was a joke. I’m sure Gainey is fine.

But I would suspect (if they’re the least bit consistent, lol) that some of our more holier than thou posters would have a problem hiring someone off of Sean Miller’s staff.

Per Ben Steele

 Ben Steele @BenSteeleMJS
Marquette is hiring Justin Gainey as an assistant coach. He was director of basketball operations for #mubb from 2014-17. Gainey was at Arizona the last two seasons.
bring back Wardle and dump wojo.

Well heck, our head coach  worked under Coach K, not exactly the best reputation. Our coach twice removed worked under Izzo. The whole darn sport is full of bad apples.

Let's see. Two assistants were named head coaches in less than a year. How many programs can say that?
