I want Marshall, Miller or Musselmen. In that order.
I would not mind either of the Bennett's. At least we would compete year in and year out for the Pac-12 and every once in a while get to the sweet 16/elite 8.
I do think that with better athletes Tony would consider playing at a slightly higher pace.
For those not paying attention, coaches are taking jobs within a 24-48 hour window AFTER their teams have been eliminated from the tournament ...
IF Cohen has identified her candidate (which seemed likely given her comments at the Romar firing presser) ... then you can probably conclude that her target was someone that did not get eliminated during the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Go through the list of coaches that made it to the Round of 32 ... who are the coaches that would pass the mustard???

Either Archie Miller is negotiating the fine print right now, or Cohen is waiting for Wichita St to lose.
If nothing is announced by early next week, Marshall is the primary target.
The comparison is Sark ending the bowl drought to Bennett ending the tourney drought...but knowing the whole time that it will never amount to much more than that.

Who wouldn't love it???
but wtf is Maxwell Helman
but i'd take bennett in a fucking heartbeat
sure his offense is slow as balls, but you can't argue with the results. see: vale, knights of
He wins the in best conference in college basketball and has won league championships over Duke, UNC, and Louisville.
He made a Sweet 16 at WSU and another one at Virginia as well as an elite 8.
He's not an elite coach, but it would be a very good hire. I wouldn't complain about a proven winner that hasn't broken through yet.
I'd rather watch women's basketball than watch Bennett's style of play ...
Bennett would be a great coach in an era without 1) the 3 point line, 2) a shot clock, and 3) old school traveling rules enforced
Bennett offers the former, but not the latter.
I mean Jesus, this is like Sark limping into the Holiday Bowl being cheered like a Rose Bowl just because we hadn't been to any bowl in a while.
Good is the enemy of great. Bennett is good, but not great.
I'd take him over some assistant with no HC experience, or some retread like Steve Lavin. No doubt.
But Marshall is still out there. Make him an offer he can't refuse.

he needs to make a final four but the sark comps are absurd
They both have a ceiling that I find unacceptable.
And I hate watching both of their styles of play.
Pass.
Fuck off kid.
