It isn't some guarantee that Marshall would accept the job, how do we know he hasn't tried?

i really like the musselman route a lot. he's young. he will turn jones and joe into all sec players and most importantly he has the ability to fix our roster issues, THIS YEAR. NOT 3 YEARS FROM NOW. this year.

He's old washed up and about to be banned from the NCAA.
You don't hire hookers for recruits, and pay off players with shoe money and not get show caused.

Ok so I went to tardville and yes... I sound too much like them.....
I don't like the Mussellman hire but will support if it's the case..... Just doesn't feel like we've had time to conduct an extensive search.
Watch that youtube someone posted. The guy is high energy and well spoken. Not that it means he will be successful but he seems legit to me.
Marshall and Dixon are has beens. Dixon hasn't done anything for 10-12 years. Yea TCU was terrible but he didn't even make the NCAA in year 3. I doubt he was ever even on the list at all.

I hesitate to call Marshall a "has been" as of yet, but the program has been trending downward over the last couple of years.

I like the comments on NBA development. If you can't recruit, you need to be able to develop. If you can do both...well...

If it is true, he will have one or two spot for assistants Hopefully his targets are good recruiters. Maybe one that has some connections to the state as well.

If the guy does anything besides sit on the sideline, walk around, scream you do you, and goes limp wrist around bad officiating, I say its an improvement.

Oh I watched every Mus video on youtube during my lunch break.
He is also a social media savant. Does a lot of promotional stuff for football and basketball at Nevada.

EM wouldn’t have been my first choice but I’m starting to come around to the idea. Player development has been a huge issue for us. If he corrects that and has a good track record with NBA players the recruiting is going to follow. Our instate talent shouldn’t be overlooked. The 2020 class is supposedly loaded. Those guys want to make it to the NBA first and foremost.
If EM recruits at mikes level the X’s and O’s improvement alone would have us the in the field of 64 on a regular basis.
And honestly, if Nevada has lost on Sunday, instead of first round, how would that change your perspective of the hire? It would have changed mine but that’s a dumb criteria to consider over a short time period, given how crazy the tourney can get in March.

From Wiki but it sure makes him sound pretty legit.
Coaching style
On his blog, Musselman wrote about the importance of matching an offense to the "team's make up." Depending on the roster, a half-court offense might make more sense. In other cases, a team may be better suited for an "open offense." According to Musselman, the idea is to allow players to "play to their strengths."[27]
As head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Musselman would often use "three-guard rotations to create mismatches and fast-break opportunities for his club."[28] As head coach of the Venezuela National Team, Musselman said his team's identity was that of a "fast-paced, up-tempo team."[29]
According to former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy, Musselman is "as competitive of a guy as I've ever coached against. He's a brilliant offensive mind."[30]
According to University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari, "Eric is one of the best in our sport. Extremely driven and knowledgeable. I've watched and coached against him in the NBA and FIBA games. He has an uncanny feel for the game, and ability to read where the game is at. More importantly, is his ability to motivate and teach his players what it takes to improve and win. He is as good as it gets."[31]
Developing players
In an August 2011 interview on NBA.com, Musselman said that, as a coach, "you have to continually figure out a way to get your players better."[32] According to Gerald Green, who played for Musselman with the D-League's Los Angeles D-Fenders in 2012, Musselman "did a hell of a job really motivating me, really pushing me every day in practice when I was with L.A. I have to give him credit [for improving my game]."[33] Green said that Musselman "rode me about staying focused. Don’t take even a second off of any play. Don’t take any plays off. Don’t take practice for granted."[34]
Like Green, Jeremy Lin has also credited Musselman with aiding his development. In February 2012, Lin said that when he played for Musselman in the D-League, "he gave me the opportunity to play through mistakes."[35]
Gregory Echenique, who played for Musselman on the Venezuela National Team in 2011, said Musselman "had the most energy of any coach I've ever been around. He had a problem with his Achilles, and he would throw his crutches down and literally crawl to get after you. From the first day we met him to when we left him, his intensity never changed. It didn't matter who you were — he was in your face if he needed to be. At the same time, he was so positive. He always believed we could win. He was the guy that put the fire into us."[36]
Kevin Martin (basketball), who played for Musselman with the Sacramento Kings in 2006–07, told NBA.com that Musselman helped him learn how to draw more fouls. According to Martin, Musselman "saw how teams were playing me and how they got up into me and told me to start absorbing that contact. He said I could score a lot more points in this league if I got to the free throw line. He put an emphasis on me night in night out with that part of the game. He was always pounding it into me and it paid off."[37]
In a May 9, 2013, article by CBSSports.com college basketball writer Gary Parrish, Arizona State guard Jahii Carson credited Musselman with helping him develop as a player. "Coach Muss is a great guy with a lot of knowledge because he's coached a lot of great players", said Carson. "He's given me a lot of great advice … about what NBA people are looking for, about how NBA guys don't take days off, how they're always in the gym doing conditioning or something, always trying to better their games. A guy like me? I didn't know anything like that having never been around the NBA game. So, he's somebody who has helped me."[38]
During the 2013–14 season, Musselman worked with Arizona State center Jordan Bachynski, helping the 7-foot-2 senior with his footwork.[39] After the season, Bachynski earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.[40]

He also tries to play "position-less" basketball. He wants to try to have all players on the court able to handle the ball.
