You or me are bad with numbers because i see 20 and 25 on kenpom. In his first year!!! I’ve watched most Michigan games and don’t think his guards are great which is the opposite of his FAU teams. I imagine that changes because he has a 5 star committed for next year

I did not use KenPom but another site. Can't remember off the top of my head which one

Whoever Stuhoo is talking about in his post

Woman: "I'm sorry. Who are you again?"
Fletch: "I'm Frieda's boss."
Woman: "Who's Frieda?"
Fletch: "My secretary."

Okay - I have a mystery candidate to describe:

• Young - as in 'twenty five years left in his career' young
• Assistant coach to multiple P5 programs, including to multiple teams and programs that finished their season in the top ten 
• Has been a peer or mentored with/by multiple Hall of Fame coaches and two coaches that currently have Top 15 ranked teams
• Every job he's been head coach at for more than one year has had multiple 20+ win seasons and NCAA tourney within two years of his hire.
• Very intense personality - teams are known for defense and three point shooting.
• Completely clean personal record
• Currently a complete success at a top seven or eight conference that has multiple ranked teams
• Will be in demand for top tier jobs after this season

Who is this mystery guy, and are you intrigued/interested?

There's only one man for the job.

He's 10-1 atop the best mid-major conference in the country about to be nationally ranked. 3 of his 4 losses have been by a combined 9 points. New Mexico's Net is 45 and they have a solid 8-2 Q1/Q2 record. He's doing much more than "ok" at New Mexico. The coach he replaced was 52-47 in the 4 years prior. 

Again, I'm not going to hold his lone year at FIU...at the age of 29 against him nor his time at Minnesota coaching in his early 30's where he at least had some decent success. Nonsense to think at 42 Pitino Jr has flatlined as a coach. Ridiculous actually. 

Nonsense to think I said he had flatlined as a coach. Ridiculous actually. I said he has improving. That still doesn't mean he's good enough to coach at IU. He seems like a decent mid-major coach, kind of like Alford.

Also, at what point in a coach's career do the results start counting? 30? 35? 40? Whenever it's good enough to support your position? Asking for future reference.

I consider his experience at Minnesota at such a young age more of a positive than anything on Calhoun or McCollum's resume.

High school sweetheart. He clearly was raised by mama and not his traveling, wandering daddy.

[MikeRoberts 7,411]

Speaking of wives, that should be something Dolson gives some consideration to. 
 

I wouldn’t recognize Archie’s wife nor Woodsons wife if I was standing next them at a checkout counter. I find that a little odd. It’s almost as if their families were not all in/not a part of creating a culture/ never present

Archie's wife was fire. She was around the program

James Franklin says if you can't recruit a hot wife, then how are you going to recruit kids to come play at your school?

After seeing her I thought he was going to be a better recruiter than he ended up being.

I do recall her being attractive but wouldn’t recognize her at all today. I don’t remember seeing her behind the bench like Joanie was. Many had said at the time she wasn’t around much and jokingly questioned whether she ever moved from Ohio

Yeah, I don't think he goes old school with the "goomar" (ode to the Sopranos) like his dad.

She asked to have their seats moved up to the section at half court with actual seats and not on the bleachers

In keeping with his strict criteria, Rico would like to enter Arkansas St HC Bryan Hodgson's name into the discussion....

Well that certainly doesn’t compute.
