His first good team was 2007-2008 and had LaceDarius Dunn, a 6'4" 4-5 star Top 40 recruit. Spare me.

He's talking about a murdered person and focused on making sure people think he's a drug dealer. It wasn't a good thing. Not as broad as the more recent systemic mass rape scandal but not a good thing.
Dunn committed as a junior so he didn't have as many offers as a typical recruit.
Basketball Recruiting - Louisiana guard headed to Big 12
You probably haven't heard much of Lacedarius Dunn. Don't worry, you will soon. The Big 12 wi

Is Dunn taller than 6 feet? Yes. Would other programs have happily offered and signed him once he rose to a Top 40 recruit had he already not been committed? Yes.
No one is saying it is a good thing. But it is important to actually get the facts correct.
It's crazy that college coaches make as much as they do. All of the other overpaid coaches should come down to Drew's level. I know free market and I don't begrudge the coaches at all. It is just insane that colleges agreed and jacked the salaries so high. When Iowa State hired Johnny Orr away from Michigan in 1980, we made him the highest college coach salary in the U.S. at $45,000. Even at a 10% increase EVERY SINGLE YEAR that would only make highest paid coach today at $2.24 million.
Drew didn't have a winning season until year 5. That isn't "almost immediately". His win totals for the first 5 years were 8,9,4,15,21.
Playing with the numbers, it appears that the highest paid coach level has increased about 13% per year. But again, that would be EVERY SINGLE YEAR, not a one off event.
The best of the best in many professions that generate billions of dollars in revenue make millions of dollars.
The tourney in 1980 had only a handful of games that were on TV. Some of the games in the 1980 tourney were still shown on tape delay so it's no surprise that salaries back then were small. The revenue was small. Make more money, get paid more money.
I'll remind you of this when discussing the KU ncaa case.
So if you're Scott Drew, you almost have to try and throw your hat in the ring for the Carolina job, don't you?
There's nothing to accomplish anymore at Baylor, and it's the blue chip job nobody can blame you for taking, sitting there, open at the moment. Recruiting to Waco cannot be easy, is his system do-able with top 50 kids?

What have I ever said that isn't factually correct about the case, Einstein?

Ah. I hadn't seen that. Keeping it in the family must be a very strong impulse there.

Baylor didn't have a problem getting elite athletes in football, and this board is suddenly assuring me it's the cleanest most saintly non criminal entity in world history.
Even if we ignore that the university has been friendly to the idea of being a massive criminal syndicate, they can win without leaving the state for talent and Baylor won't fire him for an NIT season.
I'd stay unless they are stupid and offer no pay increase.

Tuesday after the NCAA Tournament is among the saddest sports days each year.
But at least we got a tournament in '21.
Last March, I was in a fog for like 2 weeks. "Something seems 'off,'" I said to myself.

Stackhouse may been more qualified of the in-house guys. HC and D-League experience.
