We may be saying the same thing when you say "big," just to be clear. Gant, JW3 and Rosburg could be a serviceable frontcourt with rotations, but we need another body there.
The only one I think fits the bill is J3. What I think we need is someone who is going to garner attention when they catch the ball down low. Someone that teams may sag back on. He doesn't have to be 7' tall, but he has to be effective with his back to the basket so that he can toss it back outside to the scorers we need like you said.

Okay. From your lips to God's ears, I hope it happens.

A coach is only as good as his players.

Disagree. A good coach turns his team into a sum greater than the parts of the whole.

Agreed.

not a good comparison, Pinkel had plenty of time to get something going by 2012, and had a bad year(followed by another bad year), with his jumbo-dui issue and poor season going out of the 12. As far as firing him after 2001, it depends, did we replace him with Nick Saban? In that case it would have been the right move, does anyone have confidence in Alden making that "right" move?
Anderson and hoops is a different ball of wax for the most part. A coach K/knight might have a few more wins with this same club at this point, but really, so what? Its a project year, and first year and KA has a system that works as far as he's concerned and as far as any of us know, he is right. He's done as much at the previous level as Pinkel had done, so yea, that comparison is at least a little accurate.
Who knows, maybe even Alden can't screw up 4 basketball hires in a row, time will tell.

I am completely convinced that KA orchestrated this year and all but guaranteed the outcome. All for a bigger picture. At least that is what I'm holding out hope for. Then I pull my head out of the sky and say no, we're just not that good.

There's a lot more to basketball than just talent that a coach controls. Coaches can't change players innate talent, but they can teach players to execute basics, play in a disciplined manner and reduce mental mistakes as a season progresses.
Once again, I don't think we can fire Anderson after only one season. I'm simply pointing out I don't see evidence so far of a coach that can teach and mold players successfully at the major college level. He'll have at least two years and perhaps three to prove he can recruit and teach at a big-boy level. I'm looking for progressive, not sudden, growth. If he can do that, he'll be retained. I just doubt he's capable, but as I've said. I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

But that's the thing, Jagd. Anderson hasn't. Pinkel was a success in Division 1 football at a non-P5 major college Toledo. A more fair comparison would be if Anderson had been successful at a mid-major basketball school. But Anderson never had one of those jobs.
Has anyone speculated why Anderson never got a mid-major job if he was a good coach in Division 2?

Anderson made it to the final four 4 of his 12 seasons. It's impressive with how bad They were when he took over.
He may not be successful here but it won't be because he's not a good coach.

He turned down a few MVC level jobs. He was really happy at CMSU and they paid him well. I think he took the Mizzou job more as a favor to Mizzou than to advance his career.

I trust he's donating the difference in salary to an orphanage.

1 trophy in 10 years in a bowling green-toledo conference?
Please, plenty of coaches have done that and gone on to far more than Pinkel has done. At least Anderson went to the top and won it all in the DivII.
I'd like to hire the next coach K but I don't know who that is. Obviously neither does Alden.
At least KA won't screw the program over on the way out the door the way the other Alden hires have. In the meantime if Anderson happens to win and if he won the conference it would be more than Pinkel has done in 15 years. So yes, some of you really need to stfu about Coach KA.
