Agree - that would be a concern. But if he continues to do well this year I think he deserves and interview to check his personality.

I really think we need a coach like Mullen - a big ego that wants to win and demands hard work from his players. The difference in most teams these days is in hustle and execution so we need someone that makes that a priority.

Things that have been lacking recently with MSU basketball.

But you've still got to get somone who can bring in some decent talent as well or else you end up with a R. Barnes type hire.

At a meet and greet and also on a golf course. Seems like a really good guy, relaxed and not very boastful...well, at all.

He can develop players, the list at UNI for both bigs and guards is long, at least during his time there as an assistant and as a HC.
Who knows on recruiting since the level of recruiting would be totally different.

His teams consistently play hard defense and give effort thru the entire game. They will lose because they are out-talented, but i cant think of a time when it was because they were out-hustled.
