Assistant Coach Possibilities Thread

Re: Asst. BB Coach's

Have you tried to look up anything at all?

TJ Otz is on as Asst. Head Coach. Nurse is gone, Grayer may or may not be, depending on who you're reading. Anything else is pure speculation and isn't really based in fact.

Fred knows, and I'm sure that's about it. A bunch of people on here will throw out what they "think", but where does that get you? A guaranteed piece of **** in a box... :biggrin:

Re: Asst. BB Coach's

Hopefully no Grayer. With as much as experience as Fred brings, I would think we need assistants with at least a few years of coaching.

Re: Asst. BB Coach's

TJ and Grayer are both still listed for 2010-2011 on cyclones.com.

Rutter and Nurse are not listed anymore.

Didn't Jeff Grayer coach somewhere for a little while?

Re: Asst. BB Coach's

My guess is Rutter will end up at Creighton. GMAC is the only coach listed on the CU website, one of Altman's assistants Brian Fish is going to OU and Darian Devries hasn't decided, although he has indicated he would like to stay at CU. Erik Crawford is going with GMAC in the same role.

Grayer will be sticking around. Confirmed.

This.

I went out to look earlier and noticed that TJ and Grayer were still listed as coaches but the others were no longer on cyclones.com but neither is Hoiberg.

CBA or something. This wouldn't be his first rodeo, just his first college one.

Great news! That's two guys on staff that can really relate Cyclone tradition to our recruits. Hilton Magic isn't just something they talk about, because they lived and made it.

Thanks All! Sodakjoe stop acting like a jerk. you sound like a husker fan!

Re: Asst. BB Coach's

I think Grayer will be a big help in recruiting the Michigan area. He also can relate some NBA experience. I'm glad he's being kept on.

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

Hell No!

Someone on Miller and Deace nailed it dead on when they mentioned Jim Hallihan. That's the guy.

I think that makes sense too. A world of experience, an X's and O's guy, a return to the style of play that made Hilton rock. Johnny wanted him to take over the head spot when he left, so he's obviously well thought of.

Can we just suit up Jeff and fred after halftime?

Remember, it is better to be peest off, than peest on!

Wow, did i really make your sig? I feel so blessed!

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

That's just crazy enough that it might work! I do agree that Hoiberg will need a veteran assistant to help him through the transition. A former HC would be the best option. Maybe a Dan Monson?

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

I don't know that it's even remotely a possiblity.

But I LOVE that idea. A year or two with Dr Tom would be absolutely amazing.

No recruiting, just on court coaching/game planning.

It would be tremendous hire.

Where is Dr Tom nowadays? Still in DSM?

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

Dr. Tom would be an absolute asset to this program. Knows the state, knows big-time college ball. The biggest knock on him was he couldn't really recruit. That's why many feel his best years were his first couple with George Raveling's guys (a man that could recruit, but didn't excel at coaching).

We have a good recruiter on staff. It's a must an excellent Xs/Os coach is added or IMO, this will for sure fail. Even with an experienced assistant this is a huge risk, but the right assistants can make this easier to swallow - somewhat.

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

I think the guy is Steve Krafcism. We need someone to coach bigs. Steve has a ton of knowledge. Coached under Johnny. Coaching womens basketball right now but still has contacts.
Probably not going to happen but I would not mind it.

Re: The Perfect Tex Winters for Freddy's staff

This is probably the greatest idea I've heard today. I would love to see Dr. Tom mentoring Freddie.
