Damn, this is a ringing endorsement for Beard from a pretty good source.
- Thread starter Tony Warwick
- Start date
Would my little league coach, in 1990, that kept his ashtray in the dug out, be hired today?
Different world bro.
Before Cronin. Before the DV incident. Beard was actively campaigning for UCLA and UCLA took a hard look but didn’t like what they found.
This is no indictment on the jest of what you said... but I am tired of the Coach K choir boy sh!t narrative that the main media created with their love fest for him. He learned from Knights down falls how to play up to the media.
Actively campaigning? The dates don’t match up. The national title game was April 8th. Beard would have been busy making a run to the title game. They hired Cronin on April 9th, which means it was a done deal prior to that. Beard wasn’t going to UCLA.
People are full of shit and slander although they know nothing. I’ve spent a lot of time around Beard. Not aware of any ongoing personal struggle. I’m not aware of any issues with his first wife or from his 3 daughters. Ask Pat, Downing and Robinson. They worked with him closely for years
What ifs…what if Sampson learned his lessons and is a better coach now…what if Houston would have passed on him and went with a guy with no baggage. Would they have been in the Big12? Would they be a powerhouse? What if Chris Beard has learned from mistakes and is a better coach and person for it. What if he is going to win big the next time he gets a deeper and athletic roster?

Like I said D2 is not D1 slow paced offense watch this you will get a good read on him.
I totally agree that's why I rather take Tony Bennett if we're going to watch slow grind out games.
Well, good news is he won’t be vouching for the character of any random internet poster.
If coaches had to do that, they can get in line because there is a long list of them.
No thanks. That show lost all credibility when Galen started making a "hear me out" case for throwing $10M a year at Painter. Having a podcast doesn't make someone any more knowledgeable about basketball than the rest of us.
I know but the numbers don't lie Drake is like in the 300s in pace and adjust offense.
If you want to play the "Dipshit Podcasters Game," fine. Dakich--who knows far more about hoops than these Internet clowns--said McCollum is the best coach in college basketball, period.
Also, have you considered Drake's roster dictates its playing style? It's BM's first year there, so he inherited some of the roster.
In any case, he's a yes for me, he's a no for you. Nothing more than differing perspectives.
Big difference.
The Sampson thing was a huge risk because it had to do with infractions within the scope of the NCAA.
This is a private matter. Which was dropped.
NCAA doesn’t have any say or care what happened off the court in a lover’s spat. They didn’t care when Painter knocked up a cheerleader or the found out that Todd Golden is chasing tail on social media. All this stuff comes and goes.
Stop listening to people that act like they know shit.
Hell my little league coach would drink from a paper bag and smoke good stuff in his truck before practice. No one gave a damn. It sure is.
Dakich is an idiot-doesn’t matter the topic being discussed.
I had a basketball coach that occasionally was in the bar too long before games. He was actually a good man and we helped him along.
Think Bad Santa Claus-yeah some personal problems but a good man under it all. Infinitely better than a knee jerk moralist covering over a bad person.

Dakich is the dumbest human I’ve listened too on basketball. How he was ever let coach is beyond me. There is a reason he has been fired from everything he has ever done in life related to basketball. He is an ego maniac that just sucks at winning basketball games.
Listen to him? God your nuts. Should have deleted this post. lol.

And that’s the thing that needs to be carefully looked at.
Now, now, now.......It was an assistant coach's woman (not sure if they were actually married), paying players is legal now and he did NOT know about the hookers. No violence involved. Rick might be a little "high class slimeball" but he's a media darling this year.
they were, but she was frightened enough for some moments to call the police.
think about your own marriage...that ever happen to you?
