I understand that...kinda...but he already has a D1 job.

Moton lost to a high school last night. Why are we still talking about him

3/3/2017 12:51:20 PM

we should just hire hodge, that way no matter how well we do at least it will be a lot of fun

3/3/2017 12:56:08 PM

The Moton stuff cracks me up.

Gregg Popovich has a better chance to coach us next year.

3/3/2017 1:08:58 PM

Moton is a good coach. in all likelihood he's not on our radar since he's coaching a low major. i'd imagine we're aiming for mid-major type experience as opposed to MEAC level.

[Edited on March 3, 2017 at 1:22 PM. Reason : basically, if Moton wasn't in our backyard we wouldn't be talking about him at all]

3/3/2017 2:43:27 PM

Moton is like the final option obviously, but he's better than Sidney Lowe. Honestly it'd be cool if the new coach could target Moton as an assistant even though Moton has turned down similar jobs.

I hear we're talking to this guy. Some of you will be happy because he can coach D.

Biggest fear with Keatts is that he's Gott v2.0.

Strong offense, strong recruiting, and garbage on D.



YET they have the defensive player of the year as a sophomore on their team. LMAO

3/3/2017 9:55:38 PM

You mean in the CAA? Because, well, their conference is full of even shittier players

I don't want any coach who has ever been upset by a lesser team.

Jay wright lost to mark gottfried. No thanks

Roy Williams lost to Sidney Lowe. Pass.

4 candidates on "Debbie's List"

according to "sources" and no not some PP garbage info.

Should know a lot more, they say, in 3 weeks...so March 24th it is.

3/4/2017 3:31:06 PM

Glad to get a little bit of info, tough to have to wait so long but with tournaments ongoing I guess that is to be expected.

3/4/2017 4:42:05 PM

Yeah had we heard much news by this point it would probably be a bad news. No real shot at any substantial news (especially positive news) coming out at this point.

"4 candidates on "Debbie's List""

Marshall
Archie
Wade
Keatts

In that order

Total speculation

3/4/2017 5:48:24 PM

I think Holtsman (sp?) is probably somewhere in the 4 and Marshall is not.

3/4/2017 6:15:31 PM

I agree with three of the four. Wouldn't think Marshall is on there. Wonder who the wild card fourth option is?

3/4/2017 6:21:06 PM

we are not getting any of those guys.

Any chance our next coach's name could be Shannon?

3/4/2017 8:17:10 PM

Regardless of who becomes our next head coach, I would love to see Julius Hodge hired as an assistant coach.

3/4/2017 9:42:28 PM

Guy that sits in with the team all the time seems to think Archie is the guy.. He's the most credible person I know, but that doesn't mean shit really. Surprising to me because I had written him off mostly.

Beyond this who knows. Deb would not hire Moton or Keatts unless all options said no.

3/5/2017 12:40:20 AM

Keatts probably is our floor candidate, and we may end up hiring him. Get Moton completely out of your brain. There is ZERO chance he's even being considered. There are 50 former high/current mid major guys we haven't even discussed who'd be hired over him.

3/5/2017 8:06:34 AM

I'd almost take Keatts just to despite my UNCW friends who tell me he'd turn State down, lol. They have nothing when asked why Wainwright and Brownell left for worse jobs.

Keatts and Moton aren't comparable. Keatts is very likely a legit option. Maybe not our first or second choice, but he's likely somewhere on Yow's list. Moton ain't.

3/5/2017 8:33:34 AM

Keatts is overrated

[Edited on March 5, 2017 at 9:06 AM. Reason : You're right that they aren't comparable. Moton > Keatts]

3/5/2017 9:00:58 AM

I don't know shit about Keatts to know if he's overrated. But common sense kinda says Moton isn't a candidate...I like him, but he's probably not on our radar. Keatts, on the other hand, very likely is on our radar. I was just responding to Boozie scoffing at the idea that Keatts may be a candidate. Doesn't mean he's our first or second choice and it doesn't mean he's a great coach. But he's most likely on our radar.

3/5/2017 10:18:15 AM

has Keatts done anything that Moton hasn't? not sure why people are dismissing Moton as a possibility, if some flash in the pan at Wilmington is gonna be a serious candidate.

3/5/2017 10:34:36 AM

It's just the difference in level with Moton and Keatts. Keatts is at a mid major. Moton is at a very low major. Not to mention Keatts experience as an assistant at Louisville. I'm not trying to lead the Keatts bandwagon, because I'm totally not sold on him. But he's a notch ahead of Moton from an experience standpoint.

3/5/2017 11:03:49 AM

you know you're getting old when you can already smell the disappointment out of this coaching search. Been there, done that, going on five times now.

We should have just stuck with Herb.

That's fair. His overall experience is still far ahead of Moton.

The CAA is ranked the 12th best conference

I think he has
1) won at a higher level
2) recruited at a higher level
3) coached future nba players at a HS and college leve
4) recruited key players on a nat'l champ team
5) established key relationships with NC traveling teams
6) has history with adidas


I think Moton mostly goes after transfers and JC's and as ^mentioned, plays in one of the worst/lowest conf's in D1.

3/5/2017 6:19:58 PM

I'll take your word for it on 2-5. I don't give a shit about $6. And more importantly, I don't buy #1. They both have comparable postseason success. Unless you want to give Keatts credit for all of Louisville's success, for some reason.

3/5/2017 6:43:36 PM

You might not give a shit about #6, but it helps with recruiting.

As for won at a higher level, I mean he should get at least a tiny bit of credit for Lou success, but by just about any metric, the CAA is much higher level than the MEAC.

3/5/2017 7:09:34 PM

Yup ^

3/5/2017 7:19:45 PM

And Moton took a team from Division 2 to Division 1 and made them the best in their conference.

3/5/2017 7:58:37 PM

How does adidas impact recruiting. Who the fuck cares about adidas? Or am I missing a joke?

3/5/2017 11:36:32 PM

So the keatts haters...
He recruited almost all the national championship teams players that season.
Flash in the pan for the school? If they win today they will be 29-5, they won 26 last year...and they would have now made the tourney 5/15 or 6/18 either way that's not a weak basketball school
