I'm telling you, Eric Musselman, come on down. Who wouldn't want to see Texas doing this:
also, just go check his resume- he has a long history of developing talent, something that we have not seen at all under Shaka. He's one of the greatest CBA coaches of all time (2nd in win % begins only George Karl). tell me this doesn't sound good:
Musselman began his CBA career in 1988 as the general manager of the Rapid City Thrillers, a franchise his father Bill had coached to three consecutive CBA titles during the 1980s. His first week on the job, he hired Flip Saunders as the team's head coach. Saunders, who was recruited by Bill Musselman when Bill was the head coach at the University of Minnesota during the early 1970s, would go on to be one of the winningest coaches in CBA history before moving to the NBA as coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.[1]
In the 1989–90 season, at age 23, Musselman became the Thrillers head coach.[1]The following season, Musselman joined his father Bill's staff on the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves as assistant coach.[2]Prior to joining the Thrillers, Musselman worked for the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers as an assistant to General Manager Elgin Baylor and Barry Hecker, the team's director of scouting.
From 1990–1997, Musselman had 24 players called up to the NBA, the highest number in the league during that span. He holds the distinction of being the only person in CBA history to coach in five league All-Star Games (1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997) and was the first coach in professional basketball history to win 100 games by the age of 28. When he was 23, Musselman became the youngest coach in CBA history.
oh, and despite being known as an offensive mastermind, he's got his shitty Arkansas squad at no.23 nationally in AdjD in his first year on the job. as far as realistic candidates go, he's about as good as it gets imo. i've been saying this for 3 years now, and i would obviously be excited if he were coaching at Texas next year. also fuck piggy.
