We need a coach that has won a championship ( not NIT)... Don't want another mediocre coach that hasn't won shite...

What coach that has won shite will come here?
People don't realize that Auburn basketball= Vandy football. We are gonna need someone to really build the program, and its going to take longer than 4-5 years.

If you mean Tubby Smith DIAF. The guy won because Petino gifted him a blueblood program

Glad to hear it. I wish Coach Barbee the best..........somewhere else.

Didn't mean tubby so no diaf for me this time... 
It will take a while to build our program up but we need someone that can get it done... Bruce pearl sounds like a good plan throw some dollars his way... Give him control, it's not like we don't have new facilities... Get these high school kids in there with a proven winner and new shiny stuff...

Tubby did ok in Minnesota and his recruits won a championship. May bd mistaken on the later.
Jeff capel would be a solid risk/reward for us

Loosing what? I think you mean Loosening.

Okay good 
Besides the fact Tubby just signed with Tech last year and did horrible, he wouldn't be a god awful hire just average and we would pay too much to get him here.
Ben Howland is truly the answer. He has had success at every stop. Took Northern Arizona to the Tourny, rebuilt a Pitt team coming off 7 years of not making the tournament and took them there 5 times in a row and won in the tournament. He was a multiple final four guy at UCLA as well

What about Harvard's Tommy Amakar? I posted a thread about him tRant the other day. I figure if he can recruit at Harvard then he should work magic at Auburn. He also has tourney experience

That would be an interesting hire. He has done well at Harvad

His wife's on faculty there so he might have to leave her behind cause we definently couldn't compete with that but he'd at least be worth a call

She may make more money then he does as a PhD Clinical Psychologist who works at Harvard

I think he is a good coach. Harvard always does well in their conference. He was up and down at Michigan. I think he would be better than what we have had the last two coaches, but that really isn't saying much.

I have a hard time believing that his wife would okay his move from Harvard. He has a great thing going there for himself, his wife does extremely well and tenured faculty at effing Harvard and Auburn is not a Kentucky/UCLA/blueblood

So what are yalls thoughts on Allen Paynes twitter remarks.
Posted on 3/12/14 at 11:55 pm to BZ853
@AllenPayne2_: I can say this now... We'll struggle as long as we are under Under Armour.
Posted on 3/12/14 at 11:55 pm to BZ853
I can understand why he feels for Barbee who was his coach. He was blaming Under Armour for no reason.
Under Armour didn't cause them to be in the bottom quarter of 3pt percentage in all D1 BBall, likely the same for FT %, having half the kids get kicked off the team or blow nearly every close game
