Head Mens Basketball Coaching Search

[Turbine]

Everyone has an idea of what would work....and I'm not sure anyone really knows. This sport has changed so much over the last five years or so.

But, if you want a blueprint for our next coach, remember that Dr. Maggard has used the same criteria for every hire. The sport hasn't mattered. And, the formula has worked.

1. Fosters a solid relationship with student-athletes.
2. Knows what winning looks like.
3. Is a relentless recruiter (recruiting is still the lifeblood of the program)
4. Has a high moral compass
5. Has a focus on academics
And, now, has to be a fundraiser. Our coaches have now become the point person for NIL raising. Coach Deggs, Coach Aly and Coach Des have all been a major part of getting money for NIL. The new coach will be charged with the same.

Now, there are other criteria which can help. But the new coach will be the one who checks all of Dr. Maggard's boxes. He will get to find out more about that candidate's vision for success. We will not until after the hire.

As you consider candidates, remember the criteria Dr. Maggard would use. It's not going to matter exactly where the new coach is from or where he has been (all that could be used as secondary criteria but it won't be the primary.) I wouldn't exclude anyone who has no ties to the area. I also wouldn't exclude anyone who DOES.

Dr. Maggard has a blueprint and it has worked. I'm betting on him.

Everything he has done has worked.

The only thing I heard differently this time was, "cast a wide net" which I like, and was my only wish.

His overall appproach can not be knocked.

ps I do have another worry, can the new coach build two year teams? ... NIL era

Fear the beard was Marlin's first year, not 17-18 season

First year interest with a great campaign to match.

It can be done, if the excitement is fostered.

What about Broadhead taking over MBB. Hire Brad Boyd for WBB, where he can coach his daughter. After his daughter career is over he now has the college experience and can then move to MBB as head coach.

Or how about we hire someone qualified to run the men’s team and Boyd can continue coaching high school ball.

Disappointed that he didn't talk about APR or building character in players. Those are the sine qua non for my (inexperienced) list.

2000 starts a new century. It's 5

Per dictionary, examples

A calendar century is a period of 100 years:

The first century of the Common Era (CE) ran from A.D. 1 to A.D. 100.

The second century began with A.D. 101 and continued through A.D. 200.

The 21st century began on January 1, 2001 and will continue through December 31, 2100.
