With today's victory Ranger is 15-2 and has the number 1 ranked team in the NJCAA. That's the best out of 435 schools:

I think it's time for second chances, he's still got it!

It would definitely be interesting and nostalgic, and while I have no prediction on how it would work out, my concern would be for his health. High pressure environment would probably bring out the demons.

all kidding aside, he would at least bring butts to the seats. would we actually be better off finanically by hiring him ?

I think his kidney transplant likely finished his drinking issues. Otherwise he will not live long

Remove BK's personal situation and add in SEC emphasis on improving basketball and the next coach (no matter who it is) will be required to win.

But more than anything, I mean going back to recruiting, egos, the politics and entire grind that is coaching at this level.

BK is Sherman. Sleepy, no energy. Bring back BCG. Now.

Comparing BCG to Bk is a joke.
One can coach one can't.

Well, we at least know he won't be drinking his problems away since he had the kidney transplant

Good for Billy. Will always be grateful for what he did for our basketball program.

I hope he has his personal life in order now and lives a long happy life.

As much as I would love him to coach the Aggies (wish he had never left- there would be a good chance we'd be naming the court after him in a few years), I dont see it happening.

Eric Musselman of #10 Nevada for our head coach. Otherwise, huge fail.

Unfortunately, this level of coaching is tough on even the healthiest of people.

I doubt BCG has done a 180 on his intensity, though. I also doubt he sleeps much on those 2 losses. even at the jc level. (And managing 12-15 not ready for prime time student athletes).

Yeah, he'd be an easy guy to go along just to get along. (with adm.)

Outside of booze, this was BCG's issue. He didn't like dealing with alumni, wasn't social with them at all and ditto on the administration.

He could piss off the Pope.

BUT

He sure could coach when he wasn't inside a bottle.

Other than Coach K, he has to be my personal all time favorite college basketball coach.

The guy built something out of nothing here and I'll be forever grateful.

But I would disagree with one thing-there is obviously no high pressure environment here and no concerns for anybody's health (other than Admon's)

He could come back and it would be glorious and we would pack the seats on the first pre-season scrimmage.

I mean, it's not like we have much room to go down at this point if he's lost it. maybe his troubles since leaving here will give him a more even approach to coaching. I say why not.

And now, out of far left field, comes the never ending cry of BigJim49 who defended Tony Barone and Melvin Watkins until it was announced they were fired.

Mr. Basketball, but same shtick on all sports.

Total home'r. His theory is once you're here, you're here for life regardless of performance.

Not exactly the same starting point.

Which coach has the better average conference record?
Which coach has the better average season record?

BCG might work if and ONLY if, he agreed to a handler that would handle interface with the staff and a "social graces coach/mentor/handler" that would help him with alumni and media.

If he came back without that, it would be de'ja'vu all over again (to quote Yogi)

My computer can't list all the possible links to your posts to which I can refer.

I would suggest interested parties do their own research of past posts. You'll get tired of reading them all ...

Here's your link BigJim .... in the box above.

Don't let the stats below get in your way.

BCG went to one Sweet 16 in 3 years after taking over a team that was 7-21 in the year prior.
BK has been to two Sweet 16s in 7 years after taking over a team that was 24-9 in the year prior. (That will be 2 out of 8 in a couple of months)

BCG had 2 out of 3, the other being .500. NO losing season in conference play.
BK has ONE conference finish above .500 in 7 years; it's about to be one in 8 years

A&M's five year prior record for:
BCG: 48-174
BK: 124-47

Winning conference seasons:
BCG: 2 of 3 plus 1 @ .500
BK: 2 of 7 plus 1 @ .500 (soon to be 2 of 8)

Sweet 16 results:
BCG: 1 Loss (1 point to Memphis)
BK: 2 Losses (14 points to Oklahoma, 27 points to Michigan)

Smoke that, pardner
