Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
a lifelong assistant who has no desire to take over the program would be a good fit that fred needs. deace compared it to nrom parker @ iowa. no ego, just a win attitude and good experience and work ethic. experience on the bench and in the game of bball.

You guys are missing the point. It's ok to get shot down in this...in fact I think we would, but you have to ask these guys.

Re: Coach Morgan
Good recruiter. Bad X and O's guy. Below average coach. Below average satellite dish salesman. If he had any sort of talent, he wouldn't be selling satellite dishes instead of coaching on someone's staff at any school.

Fisher isn't retired. He is still head coach at SDSU.

Re: Coach Morgan
Wayne gave us some nice success after the LE debacle, but I think his strengths are similar to Fred's, and that is good recruiting and good player relationships. Don't get me wrong, those are two of the most important qualities in a high d-1 basketball coach, but Fred will probably look for a an x and o guy with head coaching ability to complement his own strengths.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
I really think you need someone that Fred knows, and trusts and respects. This can not be someone who doesnt have a connection with Fred, or they will never be on the same page. Fred has his way that he wants to run his team, and if you bring in someone who doesnt know him they will have to take to much time to build a relationship. It needs to be someone that Fred knows, and knows Fred.

Re: Coach Morgan
The facts show that Morgan was a better coach than many give him credit for. Obviously he has an oustanding resume for an assistant, other than the fact that he has been out of basketball for quite awhile now.
But... NO! Time to move on. Time for a new start with the Mayor. Plus, there are a lot of other younger assistants out there with great connection as well. And of course, I doubt Morgan and JP would have the best working relationship as well.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
I know people are hung up on experience but why is it required to have an "old guy"?
FH knows multiple NBA players and ex-players who in turn know people all across the coaching spectrum. Get a young, dynamic staff of up-and-comers who will bust their *** on the recruiting trail. Fred's got a million guys he can call if he forgets how to run a lay-up drill.

Re: Coach Morgan
I would say his head coaching career was actually not too bad. Decent, not great, not bad. He won a conference title at one school, and then won an NCAA Tournament game at another school. He's no Larry Eustachy or Tim Floyd, but alot of hard-working coaches outo there haven't accomplished what he did as a head coach.
But its time to move on and move forward, plus I doubt Morgan or JP would want this.

Re: Who will be Fred's on bench mentor?
The only negative I took from the PC yesterday was him saying he had numerous chances to be an assitant coach in the NBA. It would have been really nice if he took one of those positions to help groom him for this experience...

Re: Coach Morgan
But if we bring back BVD, does he lose his internet message board privileges?
Part of me thinks hiring Johnny and having this reunion tour type of staff would be highly entertaining. Effective? Well, it could be I guess. But definitely entertaining. If they had not already sold enough tickets after hiring Fred, adding Johnny would fill the rest of the seats.
