Basketball **PODCAST: Instant Reaction to Shrewsberry leaving, potential replacements**

this is 100 % psu. people will come out of the woodwork and insist that the best candidates are Dan Earl, Joe Crispin, Talor Battle, Nick Collela and Adam Fisher.
Though I'm not a fan of a potential Fisher hire...even he is a far cry above the other 4 on that list.

i know but it happens every time

people complain about how the program never sustains anything but then want to go back to that well for every coaching hire.

they should make Fisher the interim coach during the search but you can't hand this over to him yet imo

If it is between that list and some guy from Colgate, then yes, I want anyone on that group instead. Now, if you think we could pull a Shaka Smart type coach from another school, then I am all game.

who, may I ask, is realistically on your list?

it's worth a try

the worst thing he can do is say no

That "some guy from Colgate" is likely going to end up with a much better job sooner than later. I'm certainly buying Langel stock if it's available. What has Nick Colella or Talor Battle done to make them better candidates than an up-and-comer that's been to four straight NCAA tournaments?
 
Rodney Terry
Steve Wojciechowski
Thad Matta
Mike Rhoades
Mike Brey
Bruce Weber

maybe if it's one of the older guys you keep Fisher on as the next guy
Rodeny Terry.....I could coach Texas and look good.
Woj was shit at NW
Matta wouldn't be bad, but he knows the downs of that place
VCU is a better job
Brey just took another job
Weber also aint leaving comfy tv for PSU

remember I said realistic.

never once have the words battle or colella come out of my mouth.

i think Brey backed out of the USF job

VCU isnt better

Wojo basically had 3 NCAA appearances in 7 years...far from "shit" at MARQUETTE

VCU isn't remotely a better job than Penn State today.

Brey is unemployed

Huh? You replied to a post saying "this is 100 % psu. people will come out of the woodwork and insist that the best candidates are Dan Earl, Joe Crispin, Talor Battle, Nick Collela and Adam Fisher." by responding with "If it is between that list and some guy from Colgate, then yes, I want anyone on that group instead."

Was "that list" not the list of 5 guys in the post you quoted?
 
Whoever said Shaka Smart, that's exactly the longshot Rich Strike (last year's Derby) million to one bomb PSU would be looking for with somebody like Battle. Another poster mentioned Danny and the Crispins and so forth. Might as well throw Nate Althouse and Krimmel in there. This is what we do. It's not my opinion, it's verifiable fact.

I was being half a smartass with that idea but only because it's plausible. Please let's prove all us smartasses wrong.
 
So PSU Hoops is pretty much back where it was two years ago - having to assemble a team from scratch with a new coach - except at least we now know it's possible to do so with the right coach and players transferring in.

Unfortunately, every time that this program makes the tournament, rather than propelling it to even better things, it takes about a 1000 steps backward; it’s very predictable.

It's up to Karft to change that pattern.

NIL, campaign for a new BB only arena, .... whatever it takes. And it's his job to know what it takes.

doesn't help that he has an insane blowhard on the BOT who interrupts the basketball coach from being introduced during a meeting where you are trying to convince that coach to stay
