I humbly submit my name for the position of Men's Basketball Head Coach for the University of Memphis.

I understand the basketball program is not doing well these days and I am offering my assistance to "right the ship"

As head basketball coach I will be more than happy with a $250,000 a year salary with $125,000 bonus per round of post season play and a salary package for assistants as big as anywhere else in the country.

I will hire the best 3 former Tiger basketball players as assistants that will accept the challenges of the position. High on my list are Anfernee Hardaway. Antonio Anderson, Will Coleman, Andre Turner, Jon Albright, Tim Duncan, Tony Madlock as well as several more potential great candidates.

We will create a network of 3rd parties to do the dirty work to insure the best talent from the Mid-South will play for the Tigers every year. I will follow Coach Calipari's, Self's and Krzyzewski's methods to insure we can "cheat" all we want, without "cheating"

We will not waste the schools recruiting budget running around the country and world. We will only recruit players within a 500 mile radius of Central and Highland, and they'll have to be really good for us to leave the greater Memphis area.

We will create an offense based on defense and fast break opportunities. We will install Richardson's 40 minutes of hell as soon as the talent is available. We will be the toughest, scrappiest group of players this city has ever seen. 3 pointers, lay ups and dunks are our goal, only taking a mid range jump shot if there is less than 5 seconds left on the clock.

And we will do one thing no one else has ever done, and that's bring home all the marbles.

If you're ready, I am. Please respond to this text for all to see.

Thank you.

Good idea but wrong person to send it to.

Dear Mr Rudd and Mr Boosterman

sounds like a plan to me. In fact, sounds like the plan that got us within two minutes of a national championship. you are hired.

Some guys pay for worse. lol

I'm just sorry I missed the Tim Duncan years. That must have been back when cocaine and heroin were so cheap and I ran through my lottery winnings so quick.

You should not have snorted so much

Ex-Tiger Duncan takes over as director of M Club

Tim Duncan isn't afraid to admit it.

A small business owner, the former University of Memphis basketball player didn't envision working for anyone but himself again. That, he said, was before a job at his alma mater opened.

Duncan, a teammate of Penny Hardaway's in the early 1990s, was named the director of the M Club, a 250-member group of former Tiger letter-winners, last week.
"I thought it was a wonderful opportunity," said Duncan, a member of the U of M's Elite Eight team in 1992. "I thought I'd love the opportunity to work for my alma mater. I've been a fan since the days of (former basketball stars) Otis Jackson and Alvin Wright."

Duncan, 37, graduated from Melrose High before becoming a reserve for the Tigers under former coach Larry Finch. Duncan graduated from the school with a degree in business administration before pursuing and completing his master's degree in sports administration from Grambling State University in 1997.

"This job is a combination of my two loves: sports and marketing," Duncan said. "I hope to use those passions to grow the membership."

Like I said.

Guy actually had some of the best footwork of any post player we've ever had. Knew how to hold his position. If he'd been 6'10" instead of 6'8" (going from memory) and weighed 50 pounds more, everybody would remember him.

Will Coleman seems odd to be on the list. Heck, if you're going to do it - add Keith Lee and Elliott Perry.

Well, except the part about a low salary, local recruiting, hiring Tigers, not wasting budget dollars.
