Is he best buds with Frank?Crean is now 15-51 in the SEC during his tenure at UGA. {Overall 47-68}
The Atlanta area has great BB talent each year. How in the world have they been this bad for the 5 years he has been there?
You really have to try really hard to assemble a team as bad as his.Crean is now 15-51 in the SEC during his tenure at UGA. {Overall 47-68}

Though SC doesnt have the population of ATL/Ga… you could ask the same of the SC basketball program under Frank.Crean is now 15-51 in the SEC during his tenure at UGA. {Overall 47-68}

Not really, GA has twice as many residents as SC, and all of their sports are pretty successful. We have women's basketball and a couple equestrian things. But I agree that Frank has let tons of talent leave the state. Do you think we should keep him another year?Though SC doesnt have the population of ATL/Ga… you could ask the same of the SC basketball program under Frank.
Because GA is like Clemson. It’s all about football.Crean is now 15-51 in the SEC during his tenure at UGA. {Overall 47-68}

Both will have coaching vacancies. Which school will land the better coach?Crean makes Martin looks like a top tier coach in how poorly he's been in his tenure. It's even worse when you realize he's brought in NBA talent such as Anthony Edwards and Nicholas Claxton and has still been very subpar.
Likely SC, Clemson, and Georgia are open. Bob Richey from Furman will likely be the top candidate for all 3. Of course I’m sure each school has a dream scenario…but those are few and far between these days.Both will have coaching vacancies. Which school will land the better coach?

Ritchey would be a mistake. Medved would be a safer bet. My favorite is McMahon at Murray State. He signed and coached Ja Morant and now has Tre Hannibal playing some great basketball.Likely SC, Clemson, and Georgia are open. Bob Richey from Furman will likely be the top candidate for all 3.

Richey has had some pretty good records but I don't see any significant wins against bigger programs and he has 0 NCAA appearances and honestly the names being thrown around in this thread are kind of depressing. We need a bigger name, someone with flare that can recruit blue chip players. If we hire a guy that can't bring in players any better than what Frank Martin is bringing in then what's the point in hiring a new coach? We need to swallow our dignity and hire a guy like Rick Pitino. Look what Bruce Pearl is doing at Auburn right now. We all scoffed at the idea of hiring Pear with all of his baggage and now Auburn has the #1 team in the country.Likely SC, Clemson, and Georgia are open.

Pitino isn’t going to stick around long enough. He’s up there in age. Not to mention he’s indicated the Iona job is it for him.Richey has had some pretty good records but I don't see any significant wins against bigger programs and he has 0 NCAA appearances and honestly the names being thrown around in this thread are kind of depressing.

In that case we might as well hire Gregg Marshall. He proved himself at Wichita State and showed that he can compete in the NCAA tournament. He also knows his way around this area in regards to recruiting. I just do not want to see another Darrin Horn/Steve Newton type fiasco. I'd rather keep Frank than go that route. At least we are a very competitive team under him. We weren't even competitive under the other 2 guys.Pitino isn’t going to stick around long enough. He’s up there in age.

The days of hiring big names are gone. There simply aren’t that many big names in coaching…football or basketball.
And I’m not saying I want or would hire Richey from Furman. But he will be among the top candidates at all three schools, easily.
Richey doesn't seem like a cultural fit here. Small Christian school for HS, North Greenville for college. Seems like he's in the right spot at FurmanLikely SC, Clemson, and Georgia are open.

I’d be fine with this, though Marshall would have to do a lot to repair his reputation and it would be interesting to see how he can recruit. But nobody in this league would outcoach him. I’ve been a big Marshall guy since the 2nd time we passed over him for Darrin Horn. We should’ve hired him then and I truly believe you we’d be a solid basketball program and one of the best in the SEC. Somebody will likely hire Marshall. It might as well be us…even if it is 15 years too late.In that case we might as well hire Gregg Marshall. He proved himself at Wichita State and showed that he can compete in the NCAA tournament.

I find that hard to believe given Staley's success.South Carolinas problem is AD and the BOT. But it's so taboo. There's still a lot of kids that won't come here because of the confederacy
I see MBB as "occasionally" competitive......In that case we might as well hire Gregg Marshall. He proved himself at Wichita State and showed that he can compete in the NCAA tournament.

Forgive me, my friend. While I agree with the AD part (Seriously, I can not believe that I am defending the Bored with Trust) and because I'm trying to make a point, the BOT did build two, amazing basketball venues within 34 years of each other. The 2nd w/over 18K seating. The Confederacy Thang, I won't touch with a 10 foot pole.South Carolinas problem is AD and the BOT. But it's so taboo.

Georgia had a bunch of crappy coaches ….yet …no coach in the 200+ yrs of USC…no mens varsity USC coach has beaten Ga 12 years straight in ANYthing ….Crean is now 15-51 in the SEC during his tenure at UGA. {Overall 47-68}
