Tubby didn't want Keelon as an assistant coach, even if it cost us the Lawsons-perceived as a good move by many, IMO. Myself included.

Do we want the head coach to have the right to pick his own staff, or not? We (I) seem to want to give the coach the right to pick his own staff, as long as we (I) get to approve the hires. That's kinda laughable, seeing it in print.

Personally, I think the entire situation stinks. Chronologically:
1. Hiring Keelon in order to get the Lawson kids reeked. I was against it from day one. I understand it, sure, but I still thought it reeked. And the end certainly didn't justify the means, IMO.
2. Hiring Tubby didn't stink, per se, IMO. We apparently were looking for the anti-Pastner. We got him. What did (does) stink, however, is that it appears we've only got one assistant who's on the front lines recruiting. I hope it works for us but I'm not confident.
3. Hiring Saul reeked, too, for reasons covered ad nauseum here and elsewhere. I understand it, sure, but I still think it reeks.

It's an imperfect system, and we have a dysfunctional situation at the U of M basketball offices, IMO. Can it work? Maybe. Will it work? I don't know. There's a lot to overcome.

My thoughts are generally clear; my typing, not so much.

Clear as a bell, and I agree with you.
