VCU went from middling CAA program to Final Four and frequent NCAA participant on the strength of three assistants. You can hire the wrong assistant, but you can also hire a smaller-program HC that can't make the transition to a higher level (Ben Braun, Keno Davis). No clue if this guy is the answer but it won't be because he's not already a head coach.

This.

Well, we couldn't really trend any farther down.

clt says don’t bring logic into this chat page.

Mike Hill on the MBB program, "We're going to get this program back to where it use to be".


On the overall Charlotte athletic department, "We're going to climb the mountain and we're going to summit".

I don't want to go to the Summit League.

I'm hoping Jeff McInnis is offered a position. He is well connected in recruiting circles and he wants to be here. I'm not sure he ever got his degree from unc though, so he may not be eligible to be an ncaa coach.

I don't think it's an NCAA requirement, though I'm sure the higher up the food chain you go, the more scrutiny a program would draw if it hired or even interviewed someone who didn't graduate.

There's been a few coaches who quit/were fired, but if I remember correctly, it was that they lied about having the degrees, and that combined with the resulting media coverage sent them packing.

Manhattan College's HC comes to mind.

Don't think Sidney Lowe had a diploma when State hired him.

Lowe finished it up or was nearly done when he was hired. He definitely had a degree before his first day on the job. It was not from NCSU though, I think an online outfit.

In football, George O'Leary lying about playing in college and having earned a Master's degree from a non-existent university also comes to mind. He was forced to resign at Notre Dame.
