Considering that the big story from last night was the "soccuh" team getting their ass handed to them I'd say yes it's slow

I think Buzz could've been had. Probably Marshall too.

Terms weren't willing to be met for sure with Buzz, not sure on Marshall.

If we were conducting a coaching search in the middle of what became the first disaster season after however many straight years in the tournament our options probably would have been completely different.

As it is, it's still not that clear that Marshall or Buzz were "real" possibilties, and we ended up hiring a coach, whose resume has been somewhat less than standout (even getting fired from Minnesota) since being run off from one of the best jobs in college basketball, away from a P5 backwater that's had two NCAA appearances in the past 10 years, never advanced past the sweet sixteen, and only got that far 3 times in the past ~40 years.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think Wolken's tweet was implying more than the situation (hiring a coach in 2015 vs. 2016).

Wolken thought the job wasn't alluring enough for coaches beyond the likes of Ron Hunter and Damon Stoudamire.

IMO

That proves Hoop's point, in an MTO sort of way. Florida hired him to replace Donovan. Since we couldn't get anyone good to replace a coach who choked away a national title, surely no one good would follow a coach who won back to back titles. So, Mike White must not be any good -- 'cause, you know, he took the job.

And besides, now he'll be judged on whether he makes back to back to back Elite Eights followed by a Final Four before he has an off year, just like the way Billy finished. That's the way it works, don't you know? At least, that's the way it works in Memphis . . . on MTO.

PoopDreams is grasping at straws. Some things never change.
