Tyler Summitt accepts assistant position at Marquette

[Slydell]

No doubt. I hope he is extremely successful in his coaching pursuits. Would love to see him cut the nets down somewhere.

I am happy for him and wish him the best but don't kid yourself into thinking this is any kind of accomplishment. He hasn't done anything more than thousands of other aspiring coaches that didn't get this opportunity because of their last name.

Kids directly out of college usually have to "pay their dues" by being a GA or an assistant coach at a smaller school for little or no pay. Tyler got to skip the "paying dues" steps. More power to him and I have no reason to believe he won't do well but make no mistake he isn't paying his dues like the majority of the coaching world.

Believe me, I understand the part about not paying dues that 99 percent of other coaches have to do. However, people who hire don't care about that - they simply want the best person for the job. And his basketball IQ has to be absolutely incredible for somebody his age. Also, his name I'm sure will help at least a little in recruiting and getting fan support, so there is a value to that as well.

Best of luck to him.

I agree with exactly what you say except for assuming his BB IQ is off the charts. We have no way to know that for certain. The point you make on recruiting and his name recognition is very valid.
