Glad we didn't hire him but he will always have a special place in my heart "The

Shot"

 

[msudawg12]

Cant imagine that will surprise anyone. You just cant have the year he had

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Agreed. I remember the rumors of us hiring him to replace Stansbury and the thing that I took away from it the most were Ole Miss fans saying that would be the most MSU thing ever.

 

[coach66]

I think he stiff armed us, too good for Starkvegas.

Who would have thought Rick Ray > Bryce Drew?

Bryce Drew actually got a team to the NCAA Tournament though.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

With a worse record than Kevin Stallings' last Vanderbilt team that made the First Four the previous season. I'm beginning to actually think there may be a case for Ray > Drew now.

 

[FreeDawg]

He had a sick relative at the time we wanted him that kept him whenever he was. He actually has a Jackson tie so our guys thought they could get him anyway.

His tenure at Vanderbilt has been a downspiral trajectory. Vand has always been pretty good in b-ball so Im surprised it didn’t work out.

Unless you are Paul Jones, there is not a case for Ray>Anybody.

going winless in conference does that to you. didn't vandy lose their best player in december or earlier though?

Arguably one of the worst in SEC modern history.

His mother and father were both diagnosed with cancer.

Can’t say I’m surprised that he was fired. Going 0-19 in league play is really hard to do even if your best player gets hurt.

Exactly. They still had another 5* guy out there in Shittu.

I’d be fine having Drew as an assistant. Having him out there once a year at the Pavillion shooting warm ups with the team from the same spot on the floor as “the shot” would easily be worth $200k a year in entertainment value.

No matter the cost HIRE THAT MAN NOW. I will pay a great sum of money to see that. The melt would be priceless, but he's also a hell of a recruiter.
