Bill Self on Fred Hoiberg

thought his comment about Fred's short clock experience in the NBA relating to understanding how to take advantage of mismatches was pretty interesting. I hadn't really thought of it that way, but it does make sense.
Interesting how the last 3 coaches at Illinois: Kruger, Self, and Weber are all now head coaches in the B12.

Of course Bill praised GMAC, he knew that with the right coach ISU can be a beast in the big 12. Now we have the right coach, and are again becoming a beast in the big 12.
I do not care for Bill Self. It is impossible for me to like anyone who coaches for Kansas. I am not one to be nasty, but it is just physically impossible for me. I don't feel the same way about any other team in the Big 12 although Texas is close.
Very good coaches in the league. Those 3 have impressive resumes. IDK if Weber will be able to recruit to Manhattan anywhere near like Martin and Huggie did...but the pieces he has right now are of a top 10 team Spradling Hernandez McGruder Gipson and the other big kid is a great starting 5. The wackjob who just left Lubbock was good as well in his day. Scott Drew splashes the cash more than anyone in the game so he can't suck. Huggie is a good coach and Travis Ford is an excellent coach. Trent Johnson was great at Stanford and Nevada (LSU maybe not) he is no scrub.
The worst one is either Gillespies replacement or Barnes.
If we didn't have Fred I would easily take Self as my coach. He's a great mind that has proven that he can win year in and out with talent that isn't as good as it has been in the past. Fred is easily #1 though
If we're talking strictly coaching Scott Drew stands on top of that pedestal all on his own. Barnes is the closest, but he's been devastated by the draft.
GMAC provided job security to every other coach in the Big12 of course they would protect their interists.
I completely disagree with this, actually. A better ISU team is better for KU. KU is at the level where it wants competition and a resume boost, and not a pointless cakewalk.
