better hire Greg Marshall from Witchita State. This guy has been overlooked for way too long. UT could have hired this guy when he was at Wintrhop over Buzz. This guy has made the tourney over and over. Won the NIT with Witch last year and gets a 5-seed this year. Nothing against Cuonzo, but Marshall would have been a great fit at UT.

I brought this up in the USCjr and Pearl thread.

Supposedly Marshall is their number 1 guy, so they'll atleast be pursuing him.

We? I'm a UT grad, but i hate to see a great coach be pushed to the back. Marshall being overlooked is a joke. Considering that Marshall spent years in USCe backyard for years, and yet they passed him over in the last hire is ridiculous. UT also has a little bad Karma coming its way. The SEC needs to upgrade.

I think the Bruce Pearl fiasco and the Lane Kiffin saga just about pays UTs Karma bill for a couple decades.

Edit: maybe since Pearl was actually here much longer than Kiffin it should be the Pearl Saga and the Kiffin Fiasco instead.

So, getting into the NCAA tournament as a 5 seed is being overlooked? And S. Carolina is a better job for hoops than Wichita State? I am not sold on either of these propositions.

Exactly. Marshall would be an upgrade for the league. also, I like the guy. I was really wanting UT to hire him back in the day. mainly because I really like bball, and I can remember the misery of the houston era when i was a student.
They say he killed it in the interview, but Dickey was all Buzz. i felt like UT made a huge mistake and time proved right. i've followed his career since then. UT screwed up not hiring him, and thus the Karma.
As a UT grad I'm happy when my alma mater does well, but I can't describe myself any longer as a fan (atic) since my emotional stability is not tied to UT's success. I don't decorate rooms of my house in idolatrous fashion, or think that if I wear a tin foil hat, paint an orange T on my chest, clinch my fist, squint my eyes, and hope with all my heart, that it will affect the outcome of any game.

Cuonzo is a great guy, but no way he deserved a major job before Marshall. In fact, Cuonzo wishes he had the resume Marshall has put together.
Marshall would be a huge upgrade for a league that sucks other than UK. Let's face it, UT finished 2nd in the league and they didn't make the tourney. The league needs help. Rising tides lift all boats.

not wanting a competitor school to hire a good coach is the biggest loser attitude anyone can have. Either Cuonzo was the right hire, or just another mediocre, 'defense first' (Can't coach offense) trod and plod, hack and slap coach who will end up like Stansburry.
