Nope. He was FSU’s top assistant already.

Someone is gonna pop for him. Someone who will make him a P5 head coach.

 

Dennis Gates with Tim Miles as the associate HC who knows the conference while Gates learns it?

Then what? We watch his free throw and 3 point percentage drop 10%?

His three point percentage drop 10% from his freshman to sophomore season.  He's really hasn't bene much of a three point threat anyway -- he's only taken 59 in 55 games.  But I think in a power 5 conference he's more likely to not be forced to play down low as much as he did at ISU.

Gates' team had a team GPA of 3.43 this year. Nine players made the Fall Academic Honor Roll. Eight made the Dean's List and one made the President's List.

Boston College will love that!

Or most likely, with our luck, the following ... 

IU hires Enfield. He produces an Archie-like four seasons. Maybe we squeak into the NCAAs as a No. 10 seed in Year 3. After four years, he's 36-44 in B1G games. 

Meanwhile, Southern Cal hires Gates to replace Enfield. In four years, he wins two Pac-12 titles and in Year 4, reaches the Elite Eight. 

(Sorry, I'm just having trouble getting on board with Enfield).

I think eventually we will have discussed every coach, alive or dead, as a potential replacement.

I'm gonna start the Steve Fisher talk. A proven B1G winner! He's only 75. Got at least 3-4 good years left.

I don't want to rain on the Gates parade. But if he were indeed the guy, does it concern anyone that we wouldn't have any better shooting team?

2020-21:

Cleveland St: FG% - 44.9, FT% - 67.2, 3pt% - 32.3

Indiana: FG% - 43.5, FT% - 67.1, 3pt% - 33.1

2019-20:

Cleveland St: FG% - 41.6, FT% - 66.4, 3pt% - 29.4

Indiana: FG% - 44.5, FT% - 67.9, 3pt% - 32.6

The did improve across the board from year 1 to year 2. But watching our team shoot so poorly so often these past several years....these are not comforting numbers to look at.

Zombie Branch!!! A point per minute is an accomplishment nowadays!

Or better yet, Jim Crews.

And of course, wherever Gates goes Coach Dickey Nut will follow.

I heard during the game that he took a players video games away, until he got a 3.0 GPA!  How dare you do that to a kid nowadays?! lol

Also heard during the game, Gates has an offensive and defensive coordinator(coach)!  Don't normally hear that in basketball.  This guy is very intriguing to me!

Cleveland State scores more points per game than IU. Faster pace I would think.

We have only one common opponent this year—Ohio State in Columbus. We lost by 19–they lost by 6.   We had 100% 3, 4, & 5* players; they had none.

(goes to KenPom)...Cleve St. tempo 66.4 282nd, IU 66.4 284th. Technically faster. Cleveland St. is 1st in Luck! So you got that going for you...

I do not count that as being right!    :)

Beilein delegated the whole defense at UM, first to Billy Donlon and then, with great success, Luke Yaklich. I like the approach. Takes some self-knowledge and humility.

Head coach Beilein and Gates assistant with keys to car of the future. Typically the head coach likes to help pick his predecessor, but I like Beilein and I’m very interested in Gates for the future. He seems to have excellent recruiting skills as well.

This is Gates' salary package at Cleveland St. https://www.crainscleveland.com/kevin-kleps-blog/new-cleveland-state-mens-basketball-coach-dennis-gates-gets-five-year-deal-max#:~:text=Cleveland State will give Gates,a student-athlete development coordinator.
Curious if Gates would be interested in a $500-750K associate HC position under a Beilein-ish elder statesmen and then take the reigns. This idea will all go to waste when CSU makes the tourney, gets the annual 13 over 4 upset and takes a $2 mn/yr gig at BC or another small Power 5/Multi Bid Conference(A10/Big East/AAC) job.

I love this! I meant to quote yours.
