If true, I think this will be a great hire. He has all the fan support he could want.

If I was a betting man I think he uses his NBA connections to try an unorthodox approach. Maybe reeling in top college transfers?

It's a big risk, but I think It could work.

I don't know what cyber did to you guys, but it must have been pretty funny, because I've never seen moderators so butthurt about a poster before.

How's that GoBig12 site coming along?

Nice bump. I remember everyone freaking out at the time. This was a hire I never doubted

Pollard may be batting .250 on his major sport hires, but he's slugging 1.000.

Hindsight is 20/20 Cychedelia. I don't think anyone truly thought that we would be this good this fast. He had 0 coaching experience coming in. Zero, zip, nada. If you said that he would take us to 3 straight NCAA tourneys and a sweet 16 within 4 years, you would've been laughed at. No one could have known.

I don't see this as people being morons because they were wrong. Yea, it seems silly now, but it was a gamble of a hire. It paid off amazingly but it was a huge gamble.

Keith Murphy went through puberty very late in life.

YES!!! Me and my brother used to crack on him for that all the time. I somewhat remember him saying "with the wind behind him" back in the 90s and his voice cracked big time when he said the word "wind." That had to have been about 20 years ago. I wonder if I still have that VHS tape laying around.

Not going to lie but originally i wasn't too happy with signing fred. Now i wouldn't ask for another coach at any level. Biggest gamble with best payout in isu history imo. I've never seen a coach in any sport at any level that i believe in more. Everything fred does he succeeds at. Has no idea what failure is.
