UL Basketball Coach ... NEXT

_ If Butch ever said that in a head coaching interview it could explain why he has never been one. _

Maybe not, Turb. If his strength is known to be recruiting and he is trying to convince a program trying to decide between choosing him or some other candidate who claims to be a superior X & O's guy it might be a way of selling his strength. If he could point to specific games or teams and show where the talent ruled and them rightly say that he is the guy to bring in the talent it might be an effective sales pitch.

Butch once told me that coaching was over-rated. Talent on the court is what matters. He told me this in Tempe, right after we upset Oklahoma. I assure you that Marty Fletcher didn't "x&o" that win for us.

What an assenine statement. If he truly said that, then he should NEVER be a head coach.

_ Mr. Hall do you have any interest in applying for the mens head coach job? _

NO. We are looking on the women's side. I do have my name in with Carr & Associates (Great Company), Bill Carr will do you right. He will get the right list to Mr. Walker (I'm sure of that). Good Luck down there with the search.
Meredith and I enjoyed our time down there and WE ARE PROUD OF WHAT WE BUILT. We have now moved on.

No high school coaches. In fact, no assistants from other universities. Go after proven guys who've shown they can run a basketball program and not just coach on the court.

Wish it could have worked out to get you back here, Coach. Good luck in the future.

It is probably true that the "Best NCAA Coach" of the next 30 years is currently coaching at a High School somewhere right now.

It's just that UL cannot afford to be the guinea pig to find the diamond in the rough. UL needs to go with a proven commodity.

One that won't break the bank in more ways than one, namely he has succeeded on a budget smaller than he will have at UL.

If history is a good teacher, the best NCAA coach of the next 30 years is on staff at UNC, Duke or Kansas. Coach K. cut his teeth under the tutelege of Bobby Knight at Army. Roy Williams is NCAA Royalty; played and coached at UNC under Dean Smith, who in turn was a disciple of Phog Allan at Kansas... who played at KU under Dr. Naismith.

History says that great NCAA coaches began as assistants at programs among the elite.

There is no way that information will be made public.
