John Thompson III - fsquid - 12-19-2015 05:16 PM
He'll probably be looking for work this March
RE: John Thompson III - 450bench - 12-19-2015 05:18 PM
Bring him on. He'd be solid here and he's got a lot going for him. Plus, he's not Josh.
RE: John Thompson III - Tigx - 12-19-2015 05:19 PM
Not a fan. Got the job cause of his daddy. Hasn't done much. Don't need a Dooley at Memphis.
He's not Josh, thus by definition an improvement, but we can do better.
RE: John Thompson III - fsquid - 12-19-2015 05:21 PM
He's been to the final four

Well. Besides that....and the fact that his teams are always disciplined and well coached.

After the hiring of Mike Norvell....you would think that we would know....we have no idea what is going on in the Athletic Dept.

You are seeing something I am not, Southpaw.
Lost to UNC-Asheville today, now 6-5 this year. Lost 15 games 2 years ago, and 11 last year. Final four was in 2007?, his first year. Don't need another coach living off someone's else's name/momentum.
Maybe you guys are seeing something I have missed. But Hoyas run a slow-down offense, seems kind of boring. JT III seems like a poor in-game coach, doesn't make adjustments.
I would be hugely disappointed if we looked at an older re-tread like JT III.

JT3 - No thank you

RE: John Thompson III - Tiger87 - 12-20-2015 11:33 AM
Just say no.
He's actually one big time coach with a worse NCAA record than CJP over the past 6 years.

Archie would be first.
Underwood, next
Realistically speaking.
Neither of those are realistic.

Yes they are.
Now what?
RE: John Thompson III - HoopDreams - 12-20-2015 12:15 PM
Underwood isn't realistic?
Pffffffft
RE: John Thompson III - UofMemphis - 12-20-2015 12:17 PM
Underwood is a very good coach...and he only makes like 400k at SFA (even with his new contract)
RE: John Thompson III - Bluebeard - 12-20-2015 12:59 PM
Underwood would walk to Memphis for half of what Pastner makes. And he would coach circles around the guy too.

Only concern is he's a bit older - 52 I think.
