Unless you guys start ponying up more money .. that probably means he was only an average coach that couldn't get an offer someplace else.

No, his parents have lived in Greenville for nearly 2 decades and Dooley kept his house ever since he was here the first time.

If he does great and a school offers him 2-3 million ... then he will have plenty of money to come visit.

Actually they might be right. He's been around the block and has seems to really like ECU.

The right school comes along of course, but a Virginia Tech? A Georgia? A Cal/Rutgers type program? Idk he will jump for that. Will a top flight program take a solid coach from ECU, is that a good enough splash? They may have found a niche to keep a coach that will lead to a solid basketball foundation.

I don't think Rutgers wants to downgrade.

That can't be a real sentence, rutgers has never been able to downgrade, got to be on top of something for that to happen.

My picks:

1. Haith









12 Cronin

We're also on the the top recruits for next year too.

I tried to find you an emoticon with it blowing it out the other end, but I was unsuccessful.

i definitely also noted penny was an elite recruiter..but that is a coach ability and why he wasnt last... but recruiting alone doesn't make a coach

Thanks captain obvious. We started slow, changed our starting lineup. Our defense has improved dramatically, and we're tied for third in the conference. Is that coaching?

yeah...or maybe Penny isn't going to work out like you hoped. Should have coached at Tennessee State for a year or two, just like I figured.

I still say he will be the next Larry Finch: beloved son of Memphis, great recruiter, etc. But couldn't coach his way out of a wet velvet Elvis...

uh, maybe my memory is shot from all the malted hops and bong resin but didn’t Finch take Memphis to an Elite Eight, Sweet 16, and 6 NCAA tourneys? Larry didn’t take care of his health and that led to his downfall.

He recruited his way to his March accomplishments. His teams were LOADED. My issue was with his X and O in the sideline.

that's fine since recruiting is a MAJOR part of being a head coach these days...he can let 2007 NBA COY Sam Mitchell handle the Xs and Os while Penny adapts to the college game.

My perception differs. I remember sound tactics - particularly on defense. Besides, recruiting is the most important part of a coach’s job as evident from the time and treasure spent on it and in recognition that talent level is the single most important factor for success.

(01-22-2019 02:13 PM)pesik Wrote:  1) 2. Sampson UH- won EVERY where he has gone, at an elite level normally with less talent (1 lottery pick in his entire career)

2) 1. Marshall WSU- i have questions about his ability to win in bigger league to the level of succes he had at mvc

3) 3. Cronin UC- lack of tourney success but always gets them there

4) 10. Dunphy Temple- this is the worst 3 year run of his career..it says alot when that includes a 14-4 season

5) 6. Hurley UCONN- eliter recruiter, elite x and os, elite motivator..i think he will join the ranks of the "elite coaches" in few years

6) 11. Haith Tulsa - can get you into the ncaa once every 4 years, with some occasional nits

7) 4. Gregory USF- his teams are almost never bad, they also are rarely ever elite

8) 5. Dawkins UCF - remove the recency bias (this specific year, with tons of seniors, unique 7'6 player) he has the inability to make elite teams, even when expected.. lots of nit experience

9) 9. Jank SMU- larry browns players but 30-5 regardless is not easy to do..he has no ability to recruit what so ever, but is a quality x and os guy

10) 12. Dunleavy Sr. Tulane- was the nba coach of the year at 1 point, tulane isnt an easy place to win or recruit, its only year 3...im on the fire dunleavy train, but most coach would be in the same situation had they gone to tulane

11) 7. Hardaway Memphis- honestly hasnt shown me anything (..yet)..ironic that its tubby's juco that he developed, that Memphis fans complained about that, that are carrying Memphis .. elite recruiting is still a coaching ability

12) 8. Dooley ECU - i dont think he is bad, but someone has to be last

lol at Jank being a quality x and o guy.

Coaches come and go....but year after year Cronin is at the top of the conference.
