[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132182181, member: 1467482"] As I have said, the NBA might as well be a different sport. He is on a meteoric rise in the NBA, college is a completely different animal. The NBA his job is to manage the players his GM gives him over the course of an 82 game season that is like an endless business trip and then playoffs. College his job is the coach, GM, fundraiser, and a can’t miss figure in a small town. If he wanted to be a college coach he would have stayed in college IMO, he didn’t become a somebody in the NBA on accident. I think in the unlikely event he showed interest in the wake of Huggs departure, the University is not likely to duplicate Huggins deal and give a young coach who has never recruited to a power conference school a Godfather deal. He would get a competitive offer that a high level assistant could expect from a school like WVU, maybe a little extra since he is a former player. NBA coaches aren’t known for “street cred”, they’re supposed to be the adult in the room with a room full of huge egos. There are few examples of highly successful transitions down from NBA down to college. Best case: Penny Hardaway (street cred) Worst Case: Patrick Ewing [/QUOTE]
