Apparently, the pirate morphed into a "Spunk Monkey" according to the Urban Dictionary lol.
I drove around Berkley. It is nothing special as a school for its facade.
Plus Ernst left two years ago when we still had our big guys
"Return of the Shooting Guard"? Too optimistic?
College basketball teams are relatively intimate affairs, with a few dozen people directly involved, compared to football, which will have a few hundred involved.
Ergo, a head basketball coach is more a "manager" and less an "executive" for the program. A head basketball coach can and should be involved in each and every important recruit for the future of the program. I am sure Campbell is in on some of his own and some of the big ones, but no way he can track all of them. He has to manage and marshal a team as a whole, while Prohm can dig into landing Wiggi and Lewis and the like.
There is nothing bad about having your head coach as your main recruiter -- heck, that is how most programs do it. Hoiberg's disinterest in it (save like Niang) and delegation of it to TJ and Matt A was more of an exception than the norm for college ball.
Not that I would not take a guy with the ins on the transfer market that Matt A had and the high school gems that TJ found. I hope Pollard still has TJ's mobile number -- not wishing Prohm not to work out or to leave, but you always got to have a backup plan.
Well, assistants do more than just recruit. Prohm seems to like recruiting and is good at it himself, so maybe he likes assistants that are good at other things like game planning, running practices, player development, and actually teaching the game. There is nothing wrong the the head coach doing the bulk of the recruiting. I'm guessing Calipari does most of it for Kentucky.
Hoiberg was clearly really good at everything else a coach needs to do, but didn't like recruiting so he relied on his assistant to do the bulk of it. There is nothing wrong with that either, as long as it works.
I am guessing brevity is not one of your strengths.
Since this probably benefits one player more than anybody else, I might go with "The (Jakolby) Long Crusade".
Are you referring to recruiting on the AAU circuit generally, or hiring AAU coaches to staff positions? The former approach is what almost all successful NCAA programs do. The latter is an occasional approach for some that doesn't always work out so well.
