re: Was Rick Ray the worst basketball hire in SEC history?

Kim Anderson is the right answer. Hadn't been a D1 assistant for like 17 years and had zero D1 HC experience. We hired a D2 coach over numerous winning D1 coaches and promptly cut our win total by more than half. His recruiting is the equivalent of a low major and doesn't appear to be getting any better. He will surpass Ray if we give him the time.
