Quick, someone tell the interviewers to ask Nevada about fouling up 1!!!

You think he cheats as much as Scott Drew?

  given the party affiliation, hell, those guys wrote the book(s)...cheating 101,102, 103...

I’m glad you have finally admitted Scott Drew is a dirty cheater.

[Tyler COLEk]

Intimate personal relationships aside, it's important to stay objective on The Scoop. To "tell it how it is" so to speak. With that in mind, I think it's important for everyone to acknowledge that Scott Drew operates in an unscrupulous fashion professionally.

That doesn't have to take away from the deep personal connection he and his family may have with certain Scoopers.

Good for him. MU fans know all too well, being a top assistant for a HOF coach does not translate to HC success. Some guys are meant to sit one chair over.

Sucks for us, but that's a great gig for Coach Smith.

He had been attached to it for awhile as a candidate.  Good for him.  Will be curious who Shaka targets to replace him.  Should be an attractive gig given Shaka’s success and seeming happiness here

Nevada reportedly turned them down

I'd imagine salary would be tough to swallow at the Mount.

I'd imagine salary would be tough to swallow at the Mount.

Given his pro-league experience and growing reputation in D1, I do wonder if Nevada could land a higher-end mid-major sometime very soon. If I'm an AD, his brand of basketball is a very exciting proposition.

Problem is he doesn't recruit.

[Tyler COLEk]

Problem is he doesn't recruit.

Good point. Though a good sign for him that he was able to get an offer from a pretty legit program.

[Hards Alumni]

Problem is he doesn't recruit.

So you're saying that Edens and Haslam should be on line one? 

[MU82]

Problem is he doesn't recruit.

Does he dislike recruiting? Is he bad at it? Or is recruiting just not part of his job at Marquette?

[Nukem2]

Does he dislike recruiting? Is he bad at it? Or is recruiting just not part of his job at Marquette?

Yup as he is a non-recruiting assistant and his role really continues to be an offensive consultant and advisor. He has not had any recruiting responsibilities in a dozen years or so. His coaching and recruiting assignments before that were at the D3ish level. So, he really has no experience in recruiting at the D1 level.
