hhcdave Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 The name I've heard a couple of times is Mark Turgeon. But I don't see how that possibly could happen. So I doubt it. Quote

jayschool Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 The Athletic's 30 coaches to watch: (Dustin Dopirek, who covers Indiana, Butler and Purdue for The Athletic, messaged me that Otzelberger would be the best fit) Ryan Ayers, Notre Dame assistant coach Patrick Beilein, LeMoyne College head coach Jamion Christian, Siena head coach Adam Cohen, Stanford associate head coach Chris Crutchfield, Oklahoma associate head coach Jake Diebler, Vanderbilt assistant coach Baker Dunleavy, Quinnipiac head coach Dana Ford, Missouri State head coach Chester Frazier, Kansas State assistant coach Earl Grant, College of Charleston head coach Jason Hart, Southern California assistant coach Justin Hutson, Fresno State head coach Martin Ingelsby, Delaware head coach Stan Johnson, Marquette associate head coach Pat Kelsey, Winthrop head coach Andre LaFleur, UNLV assistant coach Erik Martin, West Virginia assistant coach Brian Michaelson, Gonzaga assistant coach Bryan Mullins, Loyola-Chicago associate head coach Luke Murray, Louisville assistant coach Kyle Neptune, Villanova assistant coach Nate Oats, Buffalo head coach Ryan Odom, UMBC head coach T.J.

KearneyMan Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 WTF Most of those names aren't even good enough to be called "B" coaches. If your going to go with them, you might as well throw all 30 names in a hat and draw one out!! Quote

My in-laws worked in the Maryland AD for years and are still very connected. The general view is that people like Turgeon but feel Maryland is deserving of a “better” coach. It reminds me of the relationship Mark Richt had with Georgia. If Nebraska were to offer, Maryland would not exactly fight to keep him. However, I have no clue as to Turgeon’s interest. On another note, a close friend of mine has a very close connection with Duke and shared the following. Evidently, once a year the Duke alumni newsletter examines the current basketball coaching staff during the season and identifies specific schools where each assistant coach could become a HC. The January 2019 newsletter listed Nebraska as one of five schools were Jon Scheyer could land as HC. At the time of publication, Miles had the team playing well; and the newsletter noted Scheyer to Nebraska would only occur if Miles was fired while, alternatively, the other schools were already on the brink of a coaching transition. The newsletter does not indicate whether Coach K had any input but these projections are not based on idle speculation. Ashfan, jayschool, HolyBobpilgrimage and 1 other 4 Quote

skerbball Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Was thinking about when Collier left. Don’t want him here now but a Husker Hoops Central blast from the past (and a name that I remember talking about on this board back in 2005-2006) : Scott Spinelli Edited February 11, 2019 by skerbball Quote
hhcdave Posted February 11, 2019 Report Posted February 11, 2019 The Turgeon name came from someone I consider very credible who thinks Moose has him at the top of his list. As detailed above, Turgeon isn't disliked at Maryland but he isn't beloved, either. He's been there long enough where it might be time to think about moving on, depending how this season ends. His family is in Nebraska (Lincoln) - playing ball at KU - familiarity with NU and how he went WAY out of his way last week at the presser to praise Miles and Nebraska has me thinking there's a little smoke to it. Also, according to the person who told me this, Nebraska could easily pay more than Maryland could and the UNL athletic department is in much better shape than Maryland currently is. Again, I don't think this happens. But I think there ARE some wings to it. HolyBobpilgrimage, jason2486 and dustystehl 3 Quote

This is also interesting because there is a connection here as Moos was AD for Oregon starting in 1995, while Mark was assistant for the Ducks. This would be a fantastic hire. Quote

Add to that we have a jesuit hoops school competitor in the largest city making it even harder. So much of our inability to build comes down to that. I still assume that this is the single biggest deterrent to getting a good coach here. You almost have to recruit like a football coach--without the football resources--to be successful at NU. Quote

Agree with this, thinking whomever is coach here needs to pluck kids from the KC metro given the distance. KU and KSU can't take them all can they? Quote

They really left him twisting in the wind a bit the last time on his contract extension and in some regards that's reflected in his $350,000. They'd really have to crater or he'd have to really want to be by family and he's really want to be paid more because he's not going to have a better basketball setup than he has at Maryland where you're up to you eyeballs in good area players and no one really tracking where all that Under Armor money goes. ladyhusker 1 Quote
