2023 Coaching Carousel

[JWags85]

Pete Thamel:

Georgetown:

Strong preference for Cooley. Cites NIL challenges at Providence. Brey back up choice. No mention of Shrewsbury.

Notre Dame:

Shrewsberry
Langel
Holtmann
Devries

St. John's:

Pitino

Langel could be an awesome snag for ND.  Not sure why Holtmann would be all that appealing at this point.

It’s kind of an uninspiring hire if that’s the case. He’s solid but I would have thought gtown would target someone that could bring them back to the glory days. 

Brey hasn’t made the second weekend in 8 years.  In that period, he’s only made the NCAA twice and has finished under .500 3 times.  That would be wildly uninspiring, but I guess that speaks to the attractiveness of the GT job at this point.

[Silent Verbal]

Brey would be beyond uninspiring. Can’t believe you’d do all this work to get out from the Thompson legacy - only to hire him.

Agreed.  He’s 63 years old and Notre Dame finished 11-21 this year.  He’s a good guy, but that would be a hilariously bad hire by Georgetown.  He’d be good on TV or as a younger coach’s Jerry Wainwright, but he’s washed up as a head coach.

If Gtown hires Brey...they should be removed from the BEAST.  Shrewsbury seems like a good hire.  If he lands at Gtown and Rick lands at St. Johns...

Some damn good coaching pedigree in the BEAST.

[HutchwasClutch]

What is so attractive about Shrewsberry? His 10th place finish and .500 record in a weak Big 14? Because if it’s a nice run thus far in their tournament, that’s really short sighted.

Reputation in coaching circles is high.  Some talk he could coach in the NBA

So could Quinn Snyder. He worked out well in the NCAA

It’s unfair to Shrewsberry to compare the two.

Shrewsberry is a highly respected guy that has coached under Matt Painter and Brad Stevens in college and Brad Stevens in the NBA. 

[FartyEightHours]

Snyder has been an NBA coach for nine years!?!  Holy crap.  No wonder the NBA product sucks.

He’s been a very successful NBA coach

[FartyEightHours]

Even worse.

[Uncle Rico]

Even worse.

Not really

[FartyEightHours]

Quinn Snyder is a crackhead.  I still can’t believe this guy is coaching.

He was also a head coach in South Bend.

[Uncle Rico]

He was also a head coach in South Bend.

I’d tell people questioning his bona fides to do a little research.  His name has been mentioned for a long time for a lot of jobs.  He’s been picky about what job he took and he’s gotten Penn State to the Big Ten tourney final.  Dude can coach

[FartyEightHours]

He’s finished 10th and this year 9th in the Big Ten.  Am I missing something?

[Uncle Rico]

He’s finished 10th and this year 9th in the Big Ten.  Am I missing something?

Yes

[FartyEightHours]

What?

[Uncle Rico]

What?

He’s a good coach who many feel has a bright future

[shoothoops]

So could Quinn Snyder. He worked out well in the NCAA

Quin Snyder made 4 NCAA tourneys and an Elite 8 coaching 7 years in college ball.

Buzz made an Elite 8 and went to 5 NCAA tourneys at MUBB in 6 seasons.

Crean, 5 NCAA Tourneys in 9 seasons and a FF at MUBB.  MUBB defeated Snyder in OT in NCAA Tourney on way to FF.

Snyder now has an $8 million a year deal with the Atlanta Hawks as HC, after 8 seasons and a .585 winning percentage at Utah Jazz.

[MU82]

Quinn Snyder is a crackhead.  I still can’t believe this guy is coaching.

So any recovering drug addict or alcoholic should be shunned forever?

[JWags85]

Quinn Snyder is a crackhead.  I still can’t believe this guy is coaching.

Quin Snyder had a coke problem at Missouri.  Then he spent 7 years wandering the wilderness.  Coached in the D League when it was still much less developed than the G League is now.  Then a couple years in the NBA.  Then spent time in Europe as the lead assistant to arguably the best Euro coach in history.  Then spent time with Bud in Atlanta.  Thats why he got the NBA job and is still coaching.  I couldn’t stand him at Mizzou but he literally did EVERYTHING a coach trying to rebuild his rep should do, and more.  He was fantastic in Utah until things stagnated and the entire franchise needed a reboot and rebuild.

You’re telling on yourself and your lack of knowledge
