Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Kerns has done a very impressive job at PC. Also, he is from the Mike Young coaching tree. Would be a good hire if DG has no interest in Lutz, who would have been the best get, for multiple reasons.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Well, seems like Doug is not interested in Lutz.
Hope he pulls out a good coach today.
When is AppMania going to announce the hire?
It was suppose to be today the latest.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Kerns won 20 games at PC this year. Averaged 15.5 wins per year. Ten years prior to his arrival PC averaged 8.9 wins, with a high year of 14 wins. Again, an impressive job and a better fit than Craft. Kerns is from Kingsport, TN. Craft is from Fla. Judge for yourself.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
I like his potential as well, and have been an advocate. But, what else makes him a better fit than craft other than being from Kingsport? My only concern is that I figured his old mentor at wofford might tell him to stay away from AppHoopster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:09 pmKerns won 20 games at PC this year.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
It's certainly complicated. It's late March and we know that at least one candidate has declined our offer. We appear to be down to a couple of Big South coaches with lackluster experience and/or success and a former Duke football player (if a tweet from out of the clear blue yonder can be believed). The Board of Trustees meets tomorrow. Athletic matters are on the agenda. This puts DG between a rock and a hard place.
This may be the reason he says he's not in a hurry. Rushing to hire one of these three candidates by 3 PM tomorrow certainly qualifies as being complicated and high risk.
I'm with Stonewall. IMHO, it's time for a complete "do-over."
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
In fairness, this could be taken out of context.
We may be looking at someone younger, but that didn't mean that was a prerequisite of DG's search. Could very well mean that DG found someone he felt was a better fit that just happened to be younger.
As long as whoever they hire is a good fit, it doesn't matter to me what their age is personally.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Of the two, I would prefer Kerns based on his background and what he has been able to accomplish in a short time at PC. Frankly, I'm not excited about Craft. My biggest concern is we wind up with someone who hasn't had head coaching experience and we know that hasn't worked so well for us.Hoopster wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:09 pmKerns won 20 games at PC this year.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Do we really know that a candidate has declined our offer? I tend to think “turned us down” often means “withdrew from consideration” without an offer being made. Admittedly I don’t know for sure what happened here.asu66 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:25 pmIt's certainly complicated. It's late March and we know that at least one candidate has declined our offer.

It seems to me Jones used App and Elon to better his deal at Radford.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Under current circumstances, I could get on board with Kerns. He's worked for Buzz Peterson, Mike Young (twice) and Kerry Keating...all well-known coaches to ASU fans. He's received acclaim for his recruiting success at Santa Clara and the quick turn of fortunes for PC MBB.
My greatest concern at the moment is that if he'd leave PC after only two seasons, would he give App the same treatment if the opportunity arose?
Que sera, sera!

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
I don't know for certain, either. It's really semantics. Jones probably used us to get a better deal at Radford so he can stay there and coach his son for the next four years. The guy's a slick operator. He's improved his base salary from $205,000 to $300,000 in under 8 months and didn't have to move to do it.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 3:25 pmDo we really know that a candidate has declined our offer?

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
Why coaches leave most of time is for $$$$. I wouldn’t put much thought in how long someone is going to stay until we have somebody. Maybe DG has a rabbit in his hat like he did for football. No question that money is an issue. It’s being put out there that we are a football school.... and won’t pay what we need to get a good HC. I would have thought we would pay in the $350 range for experience. Maybe not though.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
This is my one and only post on this topic. A LOT has changed since the post about a hire being announced today was made just three days ago. Given all that has taken place, today has gone from probably to doubtful and is heading towards not a chance in hell.
That is all. I now return you to the normal MMB posting.

Our budget wasn't a factor.

Just listened to his interview on the David Glenn show and he pretty much said App is looking for someone younger.
Truly sounded like he really wanted the opportunity to coach our team. Really hope we don’t regret passing on him.

Hmm could be Doug had his guy and word got around to the big donors that Lutz wants in and things had to get reevaluated.

Re: Men's Basketball Coaching Search
We had the perfect candidate in McMahon under our nose and looked the other way twice.
Lutz is right under our nose now. It seems like Lutz is the perfect candidate and wants to be here. I hope we don’t look the other way a third time. GO APPS!!
