UAZip0510 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I don't think some are taking this seriously enough. And with McFadden being a strong possibility at YSU, we could be scrambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do seem to be brushing it off because he has declined before and some recent developments make it seem as if not all is great in Zip basketball land. So I assume you think McFadden is essentially the coach in waiting? Don't know why we shouldn't explore all options though and "scrambling" seems like hyperbole as it isn't late in the game.

Blue & Gold Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Would anyone on here be thrilled with any of our assistant coaches taking over? Who's the best recruiter on the staff? Recruiting's 90% of the battle. We should do whatever possible to maintain the LeBron connection. I'm hoping KD hangs in there till Dru Joyce III might wanna take the reigns. Or... Jimmal Ball?

kreed5120 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'd take this more seriously if not for the fact in the last week alone 3 coaches rejected Duquesne. All 3 coaches make less than Dambrot and all 3 are less established in their current roles. The fact Dambrot has rejected Duquesne on numerous occassions is icing on the cake.

No idea who would be the guy, but McFadden is the top assistant and has been recruiting coordinator for 9 years. Those close to the program will tell you KD has groomed him to be a HC. Larry Williams, of course, could see it differently. I use scrambling more because there are obviously some unhappy players, and you'd think others could leave if both the head coach and assistant coach/recruiting coordinator left. I will say some of the names - Jimmal Ball (no coaching experience), Dru Joyce (average game coach), Steve McNees (nowhere near ready) won't be happening. It'd have to be McFadden or someone brand new to Akron. Just my two cents. Edited March 25, 2017 by UAZip0510 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think the Dru Joyce previously referenced in another thread is the former ZIp Dru Joyce, not the current SVSM coach. The current SVSM coach might attract some talent, but his in game decision making, or lack thereof, is mind numbing at times. If KD leaves, I don't think I'd be too excited about anyone on the present staff. I have nothing but a gut feeling it is McNees's job someday, but he's not ready yet.

LZIp Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Random thing I was thinking about while we are on the topic of coaching. Obviously this is just a hypothetical to stir up discussion. Anyone think its worth it to keep KD as long as we can no matter the circumstances just for the fact that there might be a 1 percent chance we land either of Lebron's sons? I have to imagine both will be big time recruits. Bron Jr. already has offers from Kentucky and Duke. The unique circumstances could give us a chance and would most likely mean season(s) we would cherish forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't let my daydreaming go there because landing LBJ's sons would be too good to be true. Then again, the fact LBJ is from Akron is 1-in-7.5-billion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
