Re: Mike Dunleavy will be Tulane's new BB coach

Any word on his assistants? He needs a young stud recruiter and an NCAA Vet on the bench.

Other than Tulane's history with it's prior regime, what would lead you to believe Coach is having "difficulty"? C'mon.nawlinspete wrote:It seems Coach Dunleavy is having difficulty hiring assistant coaches; let's hope because he is overwhelmed with quality potential hires rather than being unable to hire because of his stated desire to remain at Tulane for 10 or 12 years.
Yes he does look really good. And interesting to note that he made clear that Tulane's offer "blew him away" with repeated references to the offer, which should put an end to the Dickson-era Stockholm Syndrome excuse that "the university is too financially strapped to be competitive". Lot's of kool aid was drunk on that one.winwave wrote:Thanks for the link.

Guess this is an indication that we're not getting Baker. I would think if Baker were coming he'd be the Associate Head Coach. Seems like maybe Baker referred Stewart to his dad?Stewart said he's been close with Dunleavy's son, Baker, who is the associate head coach at Villanova, and that "the opportunity kind of came out of left field."
Exactly my thoughts when I read the first article from the Reno Gazette. Then again, maybe Baker said "get Stewart on board and I'll join in..." I would think you're right, Robert. But I still hold out hope that Baker wants to learn and work for his Dad. Assistant coaches come and go (as Stewart did one year in Reno). I don't think Dunleavy saying that he's wanting to live here for 10 years is scaring off anyone.RobertM320 wrote:bananax07 wrote:twitter and interwebs saying we are close to hiring Nevada assistant Doug Stewart as our AHC:

Pretty good resume. He's smart (played at Brown). He's coached at small private schools, (Brown, Columbia, Washington and Lee), and at P5 schools (Oregon State). He's got not one, but TWO CBI titles under his belt. And he considers our academics a plus. I like this hire.bananax07 wrote:twitter and interwebs saying we are close to hiring Nevada assistant Doug Stewart as our AHC:

Stewart said Tulane's standing as a top-40 academic university in the nation was a plus. He joined Oregon State's staff the year after the Beavers went 0-18 in the Pac-12 and joined Nevada's staff following a nine-win campaign, so he's used to rebuilds. He was a part of CBI titles with both programs.
Just temporarily make Ed Conroy an assistant and watch some schollys become available!tpstulane wrote:Coach likes the commits we currently have he just wishes he had more scholarships available.
We must have two available, Osetkowski and Mack are transferring and we haven't signed anyone else. We still have 5 outstanding offers, from what I read.tpstulane wrote:Coach likes the commits we currently have he just wishes he had more scholarships available.
He went to visit a player in California and one in Houston. He said both flights were delayed. One by Obama and one due to mechanical problems. In fact the mechanical issue caused him to have to stay overnight and catch a plane the next day.DrBox wrote:Did he visit Starwood? Is he still coming to town?
By my count, 4 players left (Lou, Oset, Jarreau, Mack), plus we were already short one (Nichols). Signed 3, which leaves 2 openings. If Starwood doesn't come, we have 3 slots.
