I'm too dumb when it comes to basketball to know 1 way or the other. I'll never really understand the game beyond the basic rules.
I was never excited about Marshall, except that everyone else was excited and wanted him, so I figure they know better than I did.
But hell, we almost beat him this year. And I always liked looking towards the NBA for a coach similar to that of CAJ.
I don't understand why looking for guy who improves little school is considered better than a former NBA coach - even if the NBA coach isn't named Phil Jackson or Pat Riley.
They have such small rosters, so it's not like a coach taking Troy to the National Championship in football. Get lucky on a few recruits, and next thing you know you find yourself with some success that may or may not happen again.
Not saying that is what Marshall was about, just kind of saying maybe that's what we just had.
Meanwhile, the other guy has coached at the highest level of the game.
So I really don't even know why the coaching search went that direction to start with.
In the end, I'll just be grateful if we don't have extremely long scoring droughts anymore and show some signs of life on offense.

The main thing is, the rules between college and nba are much different than NCAA and the nfl. So there are strategic differences between the different levels. So I'm not surprised people are using they lack of college experience as troll bait.
Marshall would've have been a home hire. But a Avery might be like a double with the bases loaded, it might actually be a better thing. There are so many things I love about hiring Avery.
- Personality: this one is obvious. But would you expect anything less from a Nola sports legend? They have done silver tongues down there.
- Playing career/style: Were aren't talking about a hall of fame player, someone whose physical gifts allowed them to dominate. Avery was a short, quick little PG, with a very high basketball iq. And the PGs are the best leaders. They have to score and distribute (figuring out how to get the team's stars the ball, while in a position to succeed).
- NBA coaching experience: The NBA is as fickle of a league when it comes to coaching hires. One down year, and you're on the hot seat. He also had little to no say over the roster. But he's won a NBA coach of the year.
- Espn: Top high school recruits don't watch much college ball, just NBA. High school kids probably know more about Avery then people in their a 20s to mid 30s. The record know this guy, and probably have respected his opinion and knowledge for a couple of years.
- Voice: That awesome fricking voice...
