Final 3 down to Final two- Davis or KFP
- Thread starter Coach34
- Start date
how you arrived at that conclusion, Carnak. Did Scott Stricklin call in to your show during a commercial? Hiring Mike Davis is the equivalent of pissing away the basketball program and using the facilities to institute on-campus synchronized diving.
that a lot of people were claiming on here in the last two weeks?
edit: Iknow this info I am quoting is from wikipedia but they got it directly from ESPN.Here goes:
Doesn't that sound just likeRick without the off the court issues and with a worse record than Rick?

He went 55-41 in the Big 10 and did as good as anyone at Indiana has in the last 25 years. He won 20 games 4 times in a row at UAB (only time that's been done in their history) and took them to the NCAA tournament.
If it's Kenny Payne, it's a bad hire.

If Davis gets hired I will simply just forget about Mississippi State basketball. Thats Croom 2.0 if there ever was such a thing. If its so bad you feel like you have to hire Davis then you need to walk down the office and tell Cunningham that its his show now and be done with it.</p>
Who do we hire as a new AD. Davis has been fired twice. I may go all airport fan ala Chizik if we hired Mike Davis. ****, I'd rather take a Hail Mary on someone like Kenny Payne or Richard Pitino.

5 NCAA's in 12 seasons- including getting him team to the Finals (and got screwed out of an appearances
won 20+ 4 straight seasons at UAB
Did well taking over for Knight considering the circumstances- pretty impossbile situation
The irony here is that we are basically looking at the black version of Stansbury- except that Davis has advanced in the Tourney before
You know when Davis would be having his players in the system and implementing his style of play, Indiana's record:
14-15
15-14
19-12 (He quit on the team mid-season, and the team's play dramatically improved)
Hey, if you have a chance to hire a coach that threw up 2 of the worst seasons in Indiana's history and UAB's history, you have to make that hire.
Mike Da-vis! Mike Da-vis!

Gene Bartow and Mike Anderson both won 20 games 4 times in a row...
Actually, I didn't realize UAB had such a solid bball history....

Davis has very little in common with Stansbury as a coach. Rick could recruit to small-town Starkville with very little basketball history and then win with his own players. Davis couldn't win with his own guys consistently.
He also is as exciting as oatmeal, and failed tomaintain eventhe UAB fanbase.
This would be a significant downgrade.</p>

That is the same damn argument that people had for keeping Rick. Winning 20 games isn't what it used to be because it used to mean you were in the tournament. In other words, people would say "he won 20 games" instead of just saying "he got in the tournament" because it was so damn common that one would lead to the other.
I'd rather hear you arguing that he fits the mold that Stricklin outlined in his recent tweet about instilling discipline, etc. And then an argument for his coaching leading to fundamental basketball played with a ton of effort. Last, it would be important to hear about his ability to recruit or hire people who can recruit.
20 wins means nothing.

He recruited Georgia well (Jeff Newton, AJ Moye) and help land players like Bracey Wright, Josh Smith (He went pro) and DJ White.
The problem was that once they got on campus, he had no clue what to do with them.
Look, I grew up an IU fan, and followed Mike Davis closely and he was given 6 years, which is way longer than anyone thought that he would be given. The Final four team was led by Jared Jeffries, Dane Fife, Kyle Hornsby, Jeff Newton and AJ Moye. When Davis had to get his own players in there, he struggled.
Also, the reason Davis was hired was to help IU recruit, because Bobby Knight wasn't a good recruiter anymore due to his hatred towards AAU.
Look, Im all for MSU hiring Mike Davis. Couldn't be a better guy for MSU from my perspective since I have probably watched more Mike Davis coached games than anyone on this board.
Mike Da-vis! Mike Da-vis!

This is ridiculous. It turns out that Stansbury is better than any alternative. Now we are in the cellar of the SEC with zero light at the end of the tunnel. To be clear, I don't blame Coach34, lars, or any other critics of Stansbury. The fans' role is partly to criticize; otherwise, okay would always be good enough, which it isn't. But the power in our Athletic Department that made this unwise decision is responsible for the cluster17 that is left behind. Pressure is what they are paid to handle well.
I'm just lucky that MSU basketball is not the most important thing in my life. The players, coaches and others directly involved in the program are unfortunately not so lucky.

want to go from a coach that was winning (and you hated because he didn't allow you to be on the practice squad) to one that does things "the right way?"
