I have said it 10 to 20 times here and I will say it again:
Marshall does better in basketball when they hire a quality assistant coach from a power conference program.
Huckaby (LSU assistant)
Donovan (Kentucky assistant)
Jones (Florida assistant)
We let Dan take one great season and a couple of other decent seasons....parlay that into a 54% winning percentage.....stayed wayyyyy longer than he should have......and let him convince the president to keep Corny as Head Coach In-Waiting.
We need a coach with connections.........connections to quality AAU programs......connections to Metro areas......those are built at the power conference level. You make those connections and you get quality portal players. Right now it just isn't there.
We had a chance today to go 1-0 in the conference with 4 conference games at home. We blew it against a bad basketball team today. Just a downright horrible loss, but those are the type of losses we are asked to get accustomed to. Welcome to Marshall!
