A coach who is also a strong recruiter, a very good X/O guy, came into a floundering program and turned it around, and did so in 2 yrs, now with back to back tourney appearances.
For about 150k less. In half the time JM has had.
Just another top P5 assistant who came to a mid for about 300k to start. All you guys who think HU can never do any better than JM, and that HU needs to hang onto him for dear life, are stuck in reverse. Talking about how another Wright isn't coming through those doors is ridiculous.
Jay Wright DID come through those doors. Keatts DID come to UNCW. Capel DID come to VCU. It happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Top up and coming P5 assistants go to mids to be HC's for a fraction of the cost HU is paying JM, and they CAN produce results in 4 yrs or less.
Crazy right? It actually does happen in real life. No, not all the time. Not every P5 assistant is a stud. Plenty are busts too. But let's not act like it's never gonna happen. Because it does. And it actually happened to HU in '94.
Again, I'm not saying JM should be fired. Not at all. I'm saying that JM should be held to a VERY VERY high standard for his VERY VERY high price tag. This is about ROI. And so far, there has been very little to equal pay that is the highest in the CAA.
But don't let these curious facts stand in the way of all the justification going on around here. You're right, the fact that no hoops player has robbed anyone 4 yrs in is easily worth that price tag. I'm sure no one else could produce that for less.
Who needs to go dancing anyway, just another hassle.

JM's best hope for next year is that some P5 comes calling with big time dough to pull Keatts away from the W.
