They'll call this guy too
 
She’d be set up for failure. No recruiting network. She’d be much better off staying in the NBA. She’ll get a shot at a head gig there sooner than later.
I think that’s true for football for sure, and likely basketball to an extent, but a good head coach means so much more in college basketball. Obviously, she’d need the right assistants but I wouldn’t compare hiring Becky Hammon to say Herm Edwards. Especially at a place like CSU.

This. She obviously knows her ****. It’d be a huge recruiting struggle though.
 
David Padgett would fit there if Louisville doesnt keep him. He's earned a shot to run his own show somewhere IMO.

Oh God no, she's not Herm. She's actually a damn good coach. I just think it would be a horrible set up for her - a struggling mid-level conference team that has tons of issues and will throw anyone under the bus at any time. Combine that with her lack of recruiting connections, and I think it's destined for failure if it happens.
 
It likely won’t happen considering she turned down Florida before. I just think that ultimately, brands recruit - whether it’s a coaching brand or a university brand. Coaches make random recruiting connections all the time. And I think college basketball is easy for a true Xs and Os coach especially at a mid-major. Plus, she’s an alum with Popovich connections so I don’t think there’s any way they would screw her over.

I also (honestly, no snark) don’t know the pulse on her getting an NBA job. I haven’t seen her connected to any searches. Thankfully, her peers have been praising her, which is a start, but owners and GMs are dumb. I think David Blatt should be one of the first hires in the next coaching search and he probably won’t be. We will see tho.

I love Blatt and he got a bit of an unfair shake in the mess that was Cleveland - but some of that was him burning bridges himself. Windhorst's book on the Cavs title winning year didn't paint him in the best light.
