My only problem is he is no better than Anderson.
Let's give Muss a chance to get the Program back to relevancy and buts back in the seats at BWA.

Pitino and Calipari both sucked arse in the NBA. You're reaching, Musselman is twice the coach Anderson is.

Again, Erik Spoelstra has an NBA championship. Dude was an equipment manager that got promoted up. The NBA is nowhere to evaluate a coach.
And wasn't Mussleman an assistant for most of those years?
Look he's much better than Mike so Im happy about that. But to act like he's a home run hire is just as ridiculous IMO. He was our 3rd or 4th option for a reason

True I'm sick of hearing the whiney but but he coached in the NBA. We all expected that if they were really tired of not making tourney runs and fired Anderson they were gonna open the checkbook and get a proven coach and even to the most optimistic this ain't it

To the people being unrealistic maybe. Who was a better coach that we could have grabbed? Don't say Marshall and Beard

Well he finished 2nd in Coach of the Year voting to Greg Popovich, and improved both teams that he coached.
"In 2002, Musselman was named the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, a position he held for two years. He finished as runner-up to San Antonio's Gregg Popovich in NBA Coach of the Year Award voting in 2002–2003 with 231 points, including 26 first-place votes.[3] That season, under Musselman's guidance, the Warriors, for the first time in nearly a decade, reached the .500 mark late in the season, holding a record of 30–30 on March 4, 2003. In Musselman's rookie season, his club finished 38–44, the most wins in more than 10 years.
Despite numerous injuries and the loss of the team's top two players in Gilbert Arenas (signed with Washington) and Antawn Jamison (traded to Dallas), the team still finished 37–45 under his direction during the 2003–2004 season. In two seasons as head coach in Golden State, Musselman compiled a 75–89 record. Nevertheless, he was let go after the 2004 season ended when Chris Mullin took over as the team's general manager.
Musselman's .457 winning percentage with Golden State ranks 10th all-time among Warriors coaches, behind Steve Kerr (.801 through 2017-2018), Neil Johnson (.617), Frank McGuire (.613), George Senesky (.551), Bill Sharman (.534), Al Attles (.518), Don Nelson (.487), Mark Jackson (.473) and George Lee (.470)."
"Musselman's .402 winning percentage with Sacramento ranks fourth all-time among Kings coaches, behind Rick Adelman (.633), Reggie Theus (.415) and Garry St. Jean (.403)."
He can coach fine.

For better or worse, if there is one thing the U of A has proven, it's that the opinion of Fayetteville people means absolutely nothing.

coaches you usually try to upgrade based on what he's done so far he's just another Stan Heath/John Pelphry that had a good run in the tournament one year.
Compare Eric Musselman's résumé at Nevada to Stan Heath's at Kent State and John Pelphrey's at South Alabama. Then, come back and admit that what you just said is retarded.

fricking Avery won coach of the year in the NBA. Pros have nothing to do with college. In college it seems like you actually need to know how to coach, so good hire.
