Re: Tommy Lloyd

Damon took a poor Pacific team and made them respectable. Not great, but certainly an improvement in the past few years. Damon has earned the right to move on to a better job, but all the way from Stockton to Tucson? If Damon were not an alum, would we even consider him with his record? No. But who...

Re: Tommy Lloyd

I think they should just hire Pastner. He can recruit and if he could get a solid assistant to help him, I think he would do fine. I'd take Damon with JET on staff over Pastner in a heartbeat. And I think Damon is a lousy hire. Would JET stay on staff with Damon? He from what I have seen is a bette...

I just don't get why so many people want Lloyd hired. The guy has never been a head coach, just an assistant. What makes him the best candidate? I think Gonzaga's success is mostly due to Few. There are head coaches out there that are more qualified than Lloyd. I am not going to panic like many her...

Re: Sean Miller

Didn't UA kind of make a half-assed run at Few before Miller was ultimately hired? I mean, sure, if you have a vacancy at a desirable west coast P12 school, you make a call to Few. But at this point, you probably don't put too many of your proverbial eggs in that basket.
