HS/Prep coaches are elevated to college coaching rosters ALL THE TIME to aide in bringing recruits. It really is OK to give the head coach credit for that, really.....TheInsider wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:12 am It's not like TB is the first AAU/Prep coach ever to be hired for recruiting connections. It's a smart move.. after all it's about talent on the floor.. DK made it to the NCAA not because hes a fantastic college coach, he made it because he had superior talent on the floor.
I am critical of MM too, but it has to be reasonable and credit should be given when it is due. Most of you LOOOOVVVVEEEED DK and he got excuse after excuse and somehow got 9 year out of us when he should have been long gone after 3. He was absolutely a bad coach and, frankly, the best and worst thing that happened to him was Chaz. Chaz made him "appear" to be a good coach for two or three years and got him a fat paycheck for it. Unfortunately, when Chaz left DK returned quickly to Pre-Chaz and was exposed for the fraud he was as an HC [at the a-10 level].
That said - I did give DK credit for two significant things; Shit-canning Vance (even though it was not really his decision), and getting Chaz here. He has had flashes of above average basketball intelligence, but a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
MM has this team sticking together and growing - regardless of how much Bergeron has in this process, it it still MM's team and he deserves credit for this. Maybe Bergeron gets the job down the road, but it is not his job yet. We can only hope the he gets the job because MM elevates rather than crashes.
