Isn't Bruiser Flint official?

I thought Bruiser was official and Ostrom is unofficial at this point.

Flint has been reported to be on staff but haven't seen anything official from University

Flint is official according to ESPN.   Eh.   Hoping for better on other hires.

Don't see anything from ESPN. I agree with you though, this hire is rather disappointing. Not sure how Flint qualifies to be on the "best" staff in america..

I don't know...

1. 20 years of division 1 head coaching experience
2. All-time winningest coach in Drexel history (331 wins overall with UMass and Drexel)
3. 4-time CAA coach of the year
4. A proven high level recruiter (Camby)

Seems like a pretty decent resume for an assistant coach to me.

I would like to see a Dj White, Kirk Haston, Alan Henderson somewhere on the staff. A former big man to work with TB and DD

I'm guessing they are trying to announce the entire staff at once. I have to believe he has 1 or 2 guys lined up (Flint and Ostrom) at this point and is waiting to fill the rest of the positions before an announcement is made.

Also due to University regulations the positions has to be posted for a certain amount of time before they can be officially announced as to who got them.

That would make sense as well.

Although I would agree, having a big man coach would be a good addition, I really don't care to see any of those three on the staff.

Looks like Groce is going to Akron

[hoosierbannerd 1,518]

His coaching records per season screams Tom Crean to me. He got fired from Drexel after being there for 13 years. Cool he won the most games there.. but being fired and having inconsistent results is basically what we just got rid of.

Coach of the year..ehh... Didn't we just fire a coach who won coach of the year last year? Coach of the year awards are overrated at most times. 

I'm sure he has some in's on the recruiting on the east coast, that's nice. But nothing about his resume screams the best staff in america. 

He seems like a hard nose guy, similar to archie in a way. I'm sure the fans will love that.. but will this generation of kids be buying into what he's selling? I don't know. Archie yes.. Flint.. I don't think so. Just my thoughts.

If he compares to Crean that's great, every program in the country would enjoy Crean as an assistant.

I just have a different viewpoint as I'm a young coach myself. With Archie being pretty young for a coach, I'd like to see him stick to the theme. Hire an up and comer at a mid level program, someone with some ties that is a basketball junkie like Archie himself. 

Flint just gives me a bad vibe.

Alright I can get behind the view point of going for an all young staff, but I also like a seasoned coach that's been in the game a long time and has had some success and isn't looking to go anywhere else.

You don't want somebody with 20 years of head coaching experience at the D1 level with a really good reputation to assist our young up and coming head coach?

I don't know much about Flint, but it seems like you definitely want somebody of his type on staff.

Max Bielfelt would be terrific.  He's the one who tutored Bryant, anyway.   We do need someone like Lewis or Cheaney on the bench, though.   Bruiser Flint?    Yawn.

What makes you think having those two guys on the bench is better than Flint? "indiana ties" and what not?
