Coach L has now retired, who should we be looking at for our next Head Coach?
Last edited:
Yes. Coach L is almost 75.Serious question. Would you be asking the same question if we were having another great season?
Chris Quinn would be interesting, he's Erik Spostra right hand man. Caron Butler as well.Dusty May will very likely be the next HC at Indiana, his alma mater
Will Wade would be like hiring Huge Freeze. Will never happen at Miami.
Realistic candidates/targets:
Anthony Grant - Dayton (Miami native, former UF assistant)
Tony Skinn - George Mason (Played for Larranaga)
Kim English - Providence
Niko Medved - Colorado St.
Amir Abdur-Rahim - USF
Bryce Drew - Grand Canyon
Richard Pitino - New Mexico
Matt Langel - Colgate
Josh Schertz - Indiana St. (FAU grad, started coaching career at Lynn)
Fold the program if it's Bill Courtney
Uh, please tell me of the last NBA assistant that thrived in college. Juwan Howard is currently torpedoing his alma mater and Mike Woodson is likely done at IU after this yearChris Quinn would be interesting, he's Erik Spostra right hand man. Caron Butler as well.
John Calapari was the 76ers assistant coach when he got hired by Memphis.Uh, please tell me of the last NBA assistant that thrived in college. Juwan Howard is currently torpedoing his alma mater and Mike Woodson is likely done at IU after this year
Not a good example. Cal had taken UMass to the Final Four and had been a college assistant for many years prior to that. Quinn was Director of Player Development for one year at Northwestern before being hired by the Heat and Caron had never coached before starting with Miami.John Calapari was the 76ers assistant coach when he got hired by Memphis.
Mike Woodson is another one. Indiana didn't make a March Madness appearance for 5 years and he led them to two in his first two years. I have no clue if he would be interested but Shaka Smart would be one of the top candidates on my board.Not a good example.

As an Arizona fan I would love love love Miller down here but he's the leader for the Ohio state job. If he doesn't get it he's staying at Xavier for awhile. Don't think he'd want to live in sofla either.Shaka Smart and Sean Miller would be two very interesting options
Yeah the baseball search was a disaster but basketball is a lot more popular than baseball with the fans and media so hopefully he does a thorough search. I think it would attract a lot of quality options with our NIL and location.Going to be interesting to see what Rad does if/when it happens. One thing that frustrated Clemson fans was his fierce loyalty to sitting coaches (like Brad Brownell) and the way he ran the baseball search doesn't inspire a ton of confidence
