Was that 100% confirmed? I mean 100%?

Yes, if I had a choice between Stansbury or Turgeon, I would lean towards Stansbury. He has as many NCAA appearances as Turge and he took Mississippi State one year to a #2 national ranking...again, not a powerhouse basketball school but Mississippi State. He has a nice recruiting resume as well.

you would take the guy who missed the dance nearly 60% of the time at MSU instead of the guy who never missed the NCAAT at A&M.

Why would you lock yourself into something like that a year before you had to?

Yeah, I would. As I said, maybe would have wanted a change to something new after already having experienced Turgeon. I like Turge but he has also missed the dance himself as a head coach so it isn't like he doesn't know how to do that despite going 4-0 in that regard at A&M. He is currently 0-3 making the NCAA at Maryland. And if Turgeon had coached 14 consecutive seasons at A&M like Stansbury did at MSU instead of just 4 seasons, I doubt his NCAA appearance percentage would have stayed at 100%.
I get posters who maybe would prefer Turgeon though. I do think Stansbury might be a better recruiter here, but if a poster wants to argue for Turge I can totally see their point.
Main thing is, Stansbury looks like he would be a solid HC hire who could get us into the NCAA. If he did it in Starksville, then he could do that in College Station.

Stansbury would have been a decent hire for a school like Texas A&M in 2011 IMO. Don't see why not.
Don't know why somebody is 'dishonest intellectually' for having an opinion. Turgeon was a good coach at A&M and I said I totally understand other posters points on comparing Turgeon's overall resume to Stansbury's.
It does not really matter. Stansbury is now in pole position to be the next coach so we will see how that goes.

Stansbury isn't nearly as awesome as some of you make him out to be.

All I'll say is if we do hire Stansbury next year, I've been told by an AAU guy that we'll have a legitimate shot at Malik Newman
didn't stansbury burn ditch us to become HC and took a 5* 7' recruit with him to western KY?Method Man said:

Buss Williams is awesome.
Buzz is not coming to A&M.
You have any other awesome stories about guys who are not going to coach at A&M?
