The thought of M Davis coming as an assistant sounded illogical to me at first as well. That's until you consider he's making only $200,000 as head coach. Triple or quadruple his salary and give him the assistant head coach title and he'd probably come. It isn't like being the Texas Southern head coach is getting him any better head coaching offers from bigger schools than being the assistant head coach at Bama probably would.

Interesting. There have been 20 coaching changes out of 30 teams since the last time he was fired a little over 2 years ago. He got none of those jobs

Article after Musselman took Nevada job and the effectiveness of former NBA coaches coaching in college.
I don't watch NBA anymore...have not in a long time so I really don't have an educated opinion on AJ.
Since his name has come up I have read somewhere that he was an "old school disciplinarian" (no idea if that is accurate) if so, this would explain, at least partially, why he may not be an attractive NBA hire...too many player egos involved.

RECRUITING IS THE NAME OF THE GAME in college. It's not the only thing that matters, but it's the most important thing. Every school needs some advantage in recruiting. Either location or facilities or heritage or academics. Nevada now has that edge. It has a former NBA coach leading the staff. No other school in the MW can say that. It matters.

AJ was mentored by two of the greatest coaches of all time--- Greg Poppovich and Don Nelson. As long as he adapts the offense to the talent, he will succeed. Who he hires as assistants will be key.

I don't know much about basketball, but the way the fans of other teams are reacting to this makes me feel pretty well.

I'm torn. AJ is the splashy name hire but his actual performance at the college level is the great unknown. Michael White is the 'meh" hire, but the guy has played and coached in the SEC and has turned around an abysmal La Tech team to the tune of 27+ wins the last 3 years. And worse, if reports are true, White isn't the fall back plan, Prohm is, who is begging for the job. Shite, how'd we get in this spot? Thanks Battle. I'd love to get rid of Gaspard, but after seeing this cluster f*ck of a hiring process, I think I'd rather wait till we get a real AD to do the job.

This would be a big time get and anyone saying otherwise is just a rival fan praying out loud.
