Not only is it not unheard of, it's the norm.

Mike Krzyzewski began his collegiate basketball coaching career as an assistant to Bobby Knight.

Agreed, but most don’t spend almost two decades not in the collegiate game, especially coach K who almost immediately became an assistant.

Two decades is stretching it a bit (it’s what we do here) he has only been out of college 15 years.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Only a decade and a half. Okay

Only a decade and a half. Okay

And most of it coaching AAU type teams.

Think real close to home - Glasco

[CajunEXPRESS]

Closer, Brodhead. Glasco had proven success at multiple levels of softball. He did start late, but again lots of success in his path. Did OHS win something? I don’t recall that.

For the 5th time, we not hiring a HC, we hiring an assistant.

You see what I was getting at?

Let's agree on one thing. Regardless of the position we need to hire the best option we can acquire. It's not about giving favorite sons, daughters a chance. If Brad is clearly the best choice so be it. If not better be careful not to let emotions take over

That's all I'm saying. Baylor just won their 3rd national title with a coach LTUR refused. Robe did pretty well as did Yvette. So there's all those examples of locals being really special.

While I can see your point...keep in mind we don't have that baseball palace without those relationships...

I understand but we also need to grow our connections outside of Acadian.

It's just an assistant basketball coach but the point is all the same.

If he is the best candidate 100% hire him but he should not get bonus point because he is BFF with people here.

So exactly what is your knock on Boyd?

Ironically, I think its the same as Zoom's. I didn't say I wouldn't want him as a part of our staff at some point in the future but I'd like for him to have more time and success in the high school ranks first. With the coaching salary pool we have available to this staff, I'd hope we would get a more accomplished assistant to fill the void, at least at this time.

Kim Mulkey's first coaching experience at any level was as an assistant at Tech.
