As bad as the sudden Crean departure was, I think to follow it up with a rejection would make a lot of people question if the program is really as attractive as we all think it is. Dominic James is my hero for stepping forward with the best post-Crean quotes - and the report that Jerel and Dominic are both leaning toward returning to prove Crean wrong - that Marquette is the best place for basketball - were a real pick me up.jpudnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15106303546010332483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-88324915519068619222008-04-04T19:39:39.481-05:002008-04-04T19:39:39.481-05:007:30Pm on a Friday night.

I don't buy it and never will.<BR/><BR/>The one string in the Dayton report is that all the guys are from the Dayton area. Provincialism, maybe? Perhaps coaches sending an expression of interest?<BR/><BR/>$1.5 million smackeroos says we can do better.Championships Matterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17554899243261404007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-30717201540669768902008-04-04T17:07:41.419-05:002008-04-04T17:07:41.419-05:00I really like this blog. Really strong stuff. <BR/><BR/>My personal choice would be Brad Brownell. Like you said, he was rumored to be very high on Indiana's list. Most Hoosier fans seemed to be pleased (although not necessarily wowed) by Brownell. His body of work speaks for itself at Wilmington and Wright State. <BR/><BR/>I'd be shocked if there was any truth to the Gregory rumor.Demond Sandershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02321360642491061693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-42369840980396392502008-04-04T16:52:56.951-05:002008-04-04T16:52:56.951-05:00I don't like any of these choices, but Williams is the best of the three. Gregory is mediocre and Brownell has never been a part of a big-time program.<BR/><BR/>I am probably biased, but I thought Marquette would be able to attract someone with more weight. I would rather get an assistant from a big program than a head coach from a small school. At least the assistant would have a taste of what it takes to succeed in the big time.Oliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01103691634133960271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-28927240129452874432008-04-04T16:09:08.755-05:002008-04-04T16:09:08.755-05:00Gosh, if you'd asked me halfway through the season about Dayton's coach I would have been intruged - they really caught my attention winning at Louisville and blowing out Pittsburgh to get to 14-1. However, they just absolutely imploded after that, and obviously it turned out Louisville and Pitt were just beat up. As you can tell I'm a glass half-full guy, but I'd really have to learn to understand that hire.jpudnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15106303546010332483noreply@blogger.com
