Calipari's guys are basically recruiters, who oftentimes can't make the transition to being a HC.

I wouldn't call Duke's guys "recruiters" as Duke doesn't have to really work to get the top players as much as select which ones they're going to take.

Kind of.  Scheyer was a pretty well-respected recruiter, but understand the larger point

Kentucky, especially under Cal, really struggled with this.  Had to find diamonds in the rough to develop into players you hope contribute as upper classmen...

McMillan is a hell of a risky hire for Trev Alberts to start off his time at A&M.  He's highly thought of but his ascension makes Nate Oats and Eric Henderson look like 25 year slogs. High school coach to low major to SEC HC within 5 years and without a single post season victory

Makes me wonder if A&M isn't as lucrative a place as we think.

A&M writers are bragging about their NIL war chest.   Buckyball in the SEC combined with the ability to buy players should be interesting, to say the least.

Buckyball is what Shaka tries to be, only even more aggressive on defense, even faster on offense, and 3s.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on April 04, 2025, 08:42:02 AMKyle Smith of Stanford may end up having the best just from his staff at Columbia:

Todd Golden - HC at Florida
Mike Magpayo - HC at UCR/Fordham
Kevin Hovde - assistant at Florida, soon to be HC at Columbia
Carlin Hartman - top assistant at Florida
John Andrzejek - Florida assistant and soon to be Campbell HC
Koby Altman - President of Basketball Ops for the Cleveland Cavs

It seems like the best place to find up and coming assistants to hire as HC are mid-majors where guys have to really put in the work to land kids and win, not places like Duke, Kansas, etc.


Todd Golden is a persistent recruiter, I hear

I was scratchin' my head on this one. Either Alberts is gonna look very smart or very stoopid. No in-between with this kind of hire.

Yes. Assbag of the year is correct. Todd Golden a very close runner up with the downhome lonesome cowboy right there also

You are correct. Alberts went against the wishes of the boosters when hiring McMillian. That's taking a HUGE risk with the money the A&M boosters throw around.

If we are only taking 1-year into account. Golden is the winner, man those story lines and Florida sticking by him really screams "money" above "integrity."

Or winning over everything else, which is a very SEC thing.

Still, its crazy that it got swept away, not just because UF ended up doing what they did on the court, but because its one of the most unhinged wild things I've seen in college sports.  Coaches having affairs or being inappropriate with coeds/getting handsy when drunk, its far from uncommon.  But stalking and the level of IG creeping/lurking he was doing was absolutely nuts.  Its something you'd expect from a faceless grad assistant or something, not the high profile multimillionaire HC.

And I don't recall it EVER being brought up during the entire tournament! Just completely ignored...

EDIT: And I can pretty much guaranty if this were just a normal, regular employee, they would have been fired on the spot. Higher education puts up with a lot...but stalking students is pretty much a universal reason to fire someone.

I was really surprised that Jay Wright went out of his way to be so laudatory about Golden in the postgame yesterday.

Agree, but I think we have far, far greater problems regarding integrity in this country.

I'm sure there are a million other places to discuss the real issues.
