Just read a article on Tang not sure we wanted him and don't know why CAJ wanted him. Well he was associated with Houston Hoops AAU but other than that all the other coaches in the are hated him because he broke some rules at his private school.

I don't have a sub. No big deal though.

Clark Francis, a national basketball recruiting analyst, said Tang's hiring makes sense for Drew, who built the Valparaiso University program by recruiting foreign players.
"Baylor needs to get players," Francis said. "You've got a guy in your backyard who has a basketball factory basically, who can get kids from any place around the country. It's a private school. Players can transfer there internationally. It's a great place to stash kids.
"I would say that's a no-brainer. [Tang] has a tendency to live in the gray area, has done some things that some people question, well, you know, you have to say, 'Hey, you've got to be a straight arrow. This is Baylor and we can't afford any mess-ups.' He's a sharp enough guy that he'll figure it out. If he's not, then you fire him."
Another national recruiting analyst, Bob Gibbons, said Baylor's national reputation is "shot to pieces" and that alienating high school coaches in Texas is a "dangerous undertaking."
"The caliber of kids Baylor should be recruiting are those with good parental guidance," he said. "[Baylor] can't afford to be taking any more of the mavericks. Those tend to be the kids who follow the summer guys."

Cecil wrote an article on Avery Johnson's long term plan.

Nothing new or newsworthy but though it may be worth a read.

Per Drew D, watch for Butch Pierre of Oklahoma State. Jack Doss has also talked to CAJ.
I went to Butler when Doss was there. He loves Bama and I think he would jump on this quick. He coaches J. Petty so maybe that's why he reached out.

@CecilHurt: Alabama basketball coach Avery Johnson said Thursday night that he plans to have a full coaching staff in place by "a week from Monday."

@CecilHurt: Avery Johnson also said he was talking with one assistant coach candidate on Thursday night. "I'm meeting him for dinner," he said.

I know it doesn't mean much but, I really like how out there AJ is being through all of this. Seems I never heard of Grant's doings. Was I just out of touch?
Posted on 4/17/15 at 10:56 am to asphinctersayswhat
No. Johnson has publicized everything he's done since he's been here while Grant never did any of that. Polar opposite personalities and attitude with the media.

Promotion of the basketball program seems so foreign to me.

What's the assistant coach update on 247?
Posted on 4/17/15 at 8:13 pm to Bryant91092
He "reportedly" talked to Pierre.
He "reportedly" talked to Lynch.
Wants a full coaching staff by next week.
Stuff we already knew. BOL's coverage has been pathetic since the beginning of this coaching search. AL.com is wiping the floor with BOL.
