If it is Buck Mcmillan, then this coaching search journey feels like an "HGTV International House Hunter" episode. Typically in those episodes, the realtor shows you the best option but then lets you know all the cost associated (e.g. high HOA fees; construction delays, massive investment in foundation)...so typically, that does not work out for buyers...so then he moves to show you a more "compact" house or townhouse that saves you some money and allows you to continue with your "traveling" or buying furniture...both of the following options only have like 50% of all your requirements but at that point they sell you on price and you have additional resources for other things.

Bucky Mcmillan is the townhouse that we got for a much lower price so we can afford our "traveling" through Europe (football) and all the massive investment needed.
Why don't you think anybody else has hired him to a bigger school? Even to the non P4 much bigger than Samford? If he can recruit (persuasive) then I'd be down, but it's tough to recruit to here apparently.

For all the Trev haters, if he nails this one, you're gonna need to get on here and say "I was wrong." Like Gust Avrokotos said: "we'll see." Hiring the kid from B'ham could be genius or get him fired. If he has the guts to do itgood for him.

I mean I dont see people lining up to take back their "we'd have no problem getting another coach better than Buzz Williams" takes over the past two years. Im interested to know what those people think…

Our basketball team could go winless for like three seasons and it wouldn't make a difference on if people think we should fire the athletic director.

But if it's Bucky, and most of what we think we know is true, I think this was a pretty good process. Who knows if the result will work, but I like the process that got us there.

This! Everyone says "Aggies are weird." So why not for basketball get a coach who plays a quirky style that is going to be hard to defend against and will be pressed on offense. Imagine the absolute insanity Reed will be when we cause half court violations and turnovers on the inbound because we press the moment we make a basket. The sheer amont of euphoria for making 3's rain down. I'm telling you folks and bookmark this, Bucky Ball can get us further than we've been before in March and may win us an SEC title if we get some shooters here.

Wrong about hoops winless. BCG raised it back and we are not going to let it go backwards that far.

I mean we'd obviously want to fire the coach. I'm just saying we don't tend to grade athletic directors by good they are at hiring basketball coaches.

Gotta admit, I am excited about the possibility of making an outside the box hire and bringing in a young coach who is hungry to prove himself and has a unique approach. There are no guarantees either way (see Jimbo).
