2023 Coaching Carousel

[Uncle Rico]

Which is why you replied to post specifically about Georgia Tech

Leave him alone.  He’s busy complaining about Joplin

Mike Anderson reminded me a lot of Wojo.

He had some good players, but never managed to do anything of note with them.

Mike Anderson isn’t a great coach but c’mon.

[Hards Alumni]

Mike Anderson isn’t a great coach but c’mon.

Mike Anderson record and win percentage at St. Johns:  68–56 (.548)

Wojos: 128–95 (.574)

I dunno man, neither got anything meaningful accomplished.

Mike Anderson was very good at Mizzou. He was very close to a Final Four in his 3rd season there, 31 wins, Elite 8. Lost to UConn. He had it going. Stayed 5 seasons. Frank Haith won a lot his first 2 seasons with Anderson’s players, including another 30 win season.

Arkansas was the one school that would cause him to leave. He was an assistant there for 17 years. (He also was an assistant under Nolan Richardson at Tulsa, after playing for him as well.) After they had success at Tulsa, at Arkansas, they went on to 13 NCAA Tourneys, 3 Final Fours, an NCAA Title, 7 regular season league titles, etc…

It wasn’t until he returned to Arkansas where success wasn’t the same. But he was a very good successful HC at Mizzou.

Speaking of Mizzou, Dennis Gates received a raise and extension through 2028-2029, $4 Million per year, goes up $100k each year.

The Johnnies have been the same program for the last twenty years no matter who the coach is. Have a collection of individuals but never put together a cohesive team.

I thought Anderson could change that , but it was more of the same during his tenure.

St. John’s is a tough job and fit for many people. Even at Arkansas, Anderson had 3 top 4 league finishes, NCAA Tourneys. But down years were mixing in more often during those 8 years.

Still has his streak of 21 seasons as a HC, and has never had a losing season.

Is he though? He's been a head coach for 11 seasons already, and has been pretty mediocre in general.

To his dad he is, and that might be all that matters in this scenario

[GoldenEagles03]

Can't believe Georgetown made the Big East Tournament again this year and they still fired Ewing.

[PointWarrior]

STJ has a lot of talent and all coming back, surprised they pulled the trigger.

Wild guess that STJ's assumes the window to get Pitino is this spring and has already had backdoor conversations with him, hence why they didn't give Anderson another year.

I don’t think that’s a wild guess.  It’s probably exactly what’s happened.

Brian Gregory out at South Florida.

Expecting Crean will lobby hard for this job since he now lives in the area.

It’s South Florida.  It’s South Florida. 

[Efficient Frontier]

It’s South Florida.  It’s South Florida.

It’s been a while since a post made me actually chuckle out loud.

[HutchwasClutch]

Brett Nelson was good at teaching players to shoot. An ideal assistant. 

Going to a Patriot League team where it is hard to recruit is not an ideal way to start out as a Head Coach.

Well, that’s kind of the deal for a young and unproven coach.  You have to take what you can to build your resume.  Almost all those jobs are difficult programs and leagues to sell to high schoolers.  The good ones find a way.

It’s South Florida.  It’s South Florida.

Well, it’s west central Florida. USF is directionally challenged.

Izzo coaching tree. Crean followed Sampson at I4, now Gregory at ISF^2

That’s an excellent summation of the St John’s program. 

Anderson is a good coach.  A mid major would do very well to get him.  I don’t see a high major showing interest in him again.

I get the feeling that if Pitino wasn't available, Anderson would still be the SJU coach.

Would be a good pick. Optics would look good for the conference.

I've believed this to be the play since last year.
