fowler is ignoring Caliparihttp://www.statefansnation.com/index.php/archives/2006/04/06/fowler-ignoring-calipari/

If fowler fails to bring in one of the best coaches around that actually WANTS to be here then it's going to be a real shame.I can totally already see how this is going to play out. We pursue Barnes and miss on him. Calipari wants to come and for less than Barnes, but we ignore him. We hire some midmajor that we think has potential. We have a 25% chance of getting a coach of the caliber Calipari is.

IF Calipari is brought in he better be brought in on a tight leash...
4/7/2006 9:29:44 AM
Dude, he had one bump TEN years ago and was cleared by the NCAA.Lee Fowler himself is much more sketchy. Read the article.
4/7/2006 9:32:02 AM
and brought memphis out of nowhere to a number 1 seed?with the same formula he used as UMASS?i want to see the aftermath of memphis before i consider his slate wiped clean...until then he's just another "wreck it and run" coach...and Lee Fowler is sketchy, i would love to see him gone, i wanted him gone far more than i wanted Sendek gone..[Edited on April 7, 2006 at 10:17 AM. Reason : eh, i'm softening, if he's the best we can get i guess we'll get him... but he needs a leash on him.]

^whoever said that hit the nail on the headim gonna welcome whoever we get, regardless, simply b/c they deserve it as a human
4/7/2006 10:28:45 AM

If some of you knew the half of what went on in Wooden's program, you'd have a head rush so extreme it would make you dizzy. Calipari had a situation where a star player was taking money before he declared, and Camby paid it back in fines and other ways ten fold. Is Cal a risky coach, should we keep him on a tight leash if he gets here, will he graduate his players? How about we let Fowler interview him and let the man himself answer some of these questions beofre we say "we need to keep him on a tight leash." So he signs a contract, and then Fowler says "By the way, any player not getting at least a 3.5, or if any player is seen at a socail scene or with a man over 45, you're geting canned." If I were Cal I would forget coming here with perceptions of a guy who has nothing severe on his record.

Rick majerus!!! Wright is not leaving Villanova, we arent getting Calipari either so go for whats available!Majerus' career winning percentage of .741 ranks fourth-highest among "active" NCAA Division I coaches and 17th all-time. Among active coaches, only Roy Williams (UNC), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse) and Lute Olsen (Arizona) have better winning percentages.

Rick majerus is not a very active person, and could die. wouldnt be good to have two dead coachesbut he is a no nonsense dick, and i can appreciate that
4/7/2006 10:53:54 AM
you people didnt like herb's offense / what makes you think you will like Rick Majerus' offense. his style of play is more boring than Herb's
4/7/2006 10:55:56 AM
what i think is awesome is the fact that people liked the offense when we were making shots. people make shots when they are confident. no complaints in januarythen the "fans" turn on the team (and not just herb. gavin, atsur, evtimov) and they lose their confidence. they start missing everything. wonder if its all related
4/7/2006 10:58:07 AM
I see where you are coming from.... If not majerus how about Jim Larranaga!!With the way he took Mason to the top you know he is looking to go to a bigger Program...
4/7/2006 10:59:16 AM
Hey and what would be a better way to get back at the hated HEELS than to hire Brad Doherty, a coach they dumped, and have him led us to an ACC Championship!!
4/7/2006 11:02:37 AM
MATT Doherty
4/7/2006 11:03:58 AM

4/7/2006 11:04:14 AM

4/7/2006 11:04:48 AM
He is one of the nation's best recruiters.... and thats a fact we could definately use that
4/7/2006 11:05:19 AM

Where is proof that Calipari wants the job?Where is proff that Folwer is ignoring Calipari?

4/7/2006 12:07:18 PM
Why would Calipari even want to leave Memphis.... He is losing Carney (can be replaced)Returning:Everyone else from this young and talented team that earned a number 1 seed and an elite 8 appearence. They are returning there top 8 scorers minus Carney. An have a 5 star recruit in Anthony Randolph (PF), one of the top players in the state of Texas.[Edited on April 7, 2006 at 12:32 PM. Reason : error]
4/7/2006 12:21:11 PM
Today's News and Disturber reports a $2.5 million annuity plus a $1.5 million annual salary for Cali.Tubby Smith has over $1.5-1.7 mil annually.
4/7/2006 12:23:42 PM
Memphis also has:Will BoganRavern JohnsonChris Barnes Maurice MillerWillie KempAlso these prospect players also have to be looked at you cant leave a team that is on the up and coming trail.
4/7/2006 12:24:23 PM
I'd shit myself if we got Calipari or Jay Wright
4/7/2006 12:33:58 PM
yea i think we all would, but in all reality we know it isnt gonna happen
4/7/2006 12:34:43 PM
Well then we are stuck with shit it appears.Thanks for running Herb off so we can hire Frank Haith, an unproven coach.WE NEED JOHN CALIPARI OR JAY WRIGHT!
4/7/2006 1:01:33 PM
I have heard rumblings about Steve Lavin!
4/7/2006 1:12:33 PM
i've heard "rumblings" about everybody but dean fucking smith...and i'm sure he'll be next...i'm tired of rumblings, i just want a damned coach so we can get recruiting back on track
4/7/2006 2:04:09 PM
What about Nolan Richardson? People have some how forgotten about this guy. He is a proven winner, 3 final fours and a title. This guy seems to be very motivated about coaching again with a chip on his shoulder to prove the Ark. people wrong. Why not him?
4/7/2006 3:24:46 PM
it woudl seem the collective doesn't like him
