General Coach Candidate News

[LamarCheeks 19,188]

Had a Zoom meeting for work. 

While I was on it ... 

We hired Thad Matta, but he didn't pass the physical. 

We didn't hire Thad Matta, and he didn't fail a physical. 

Thad Matta had no interest in the first place. 

My head is spinning ...

Enfield anyone?

He won at a small school (FGCU), advanced to a football P5 school and levered that promotion into great recruiting and good results, especially this year. Charismatic program leader too. Admittedly, getting the Mobley brothers after hiring their dad helped immensely, but hey...he got em!

I believe people underrate him because they’ve never see his team play.

Is he bringing the Mobley’s with him

Clearly not a Hoosiers fan...

 

I know it was form Hoosiers and have lived in Indiana all 50 years of my life.  Actually I went to high school in the town that was Hickories home court.  I practiced in the Hoosier gym before it became famous.

Gotta imagine his wife, a swimsuit model, wouldn’t want to leave So Cal for Indiana...

In the current year, I feel like it’s a tough sell to get guys outside of the state to come to Indiana. At USC, you can sell LA and the beach and all that. That’s why I don’t see Enfield being super successful if he came to Bloomington.

His wife is now a 40-ish woman with three kids. She was raised in Oklahoma. She might just be regular people who won the gene lottery.

Would prefer to see more of him first. USC is good this year but how much of that is Enfield and how much of it is hiring an assistant with two McDonald’s all American sons.

Have to assume that it's Knightstown.

Enfield not creepy or slimy but Scott Drew is?  
 

so, it’s optics?  Recruiting shadiness tactics?

Knightstown class of 89  I played in the Hoosier gym a lot and never understood the fascination with it.  It was an older cold gym that was not even an regulation sized high school court.  I think I might own the record for the most 3's made in a game in that gym with 11 in a church league game.

If it was all about location you'd have teams successful throughout Cali, New York, and Florida.  Thankfully, it's not all about location.  Kids want to get to the NBA and want a system that will 1) showcase their skills 2) develop their skills and 3) a head coach and assistants they trust to do the first two.  Location is pretty low on the pecking order of reasons to commit to a program

I’d legitimately offer Oats 7 million a year. Granted it’s not my money but he’s what we’re all clamoring for in terms of style, youth, and personality. I have little doubt he’ll be one of the best coaches in college in the future. Kids are going to be lining up to play in this system. Alabama can match anything sadly.

Pool or pond? Pond would probably be good for you :-)

Believe that gym is in Knightstown.
The team the movie hoosiers is based off of, Milan, is 15 minutes from house. Up until 2013 their “museum” was in the local Dairy Queen. Finally got their building for a museum type thing

Did you know he went to the same college as Tom Allen.
