NotIThatLives Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Both of these are confusing. Vanderbilt does what they are doing to Drew, steps down on a hire. Hunter takes a lateral job in a terrible city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you are saying but he's in the dance every year. Now he has to be top 2 in a 2 bid conference. In a terrible city. I'm just saying he could've gotten a better job than that.

If I had to buy sell or hold, I'd sell JT3 and hold Drew. Drew' s 44, 3's 53. I'd be willing to bet Drew is in the tourney in the next 5 years at any school before JT3 gets Vandy in.

I'd be willing to bet Drew is in the tourney in the next 5 years at any school before JT3 gets Vandy in. I don’t know, it’s not like 53 is old in coaching. While he struggled towards the end at Georgetown, there’s no question JT3 has the better resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Tulane may be in the AAC, but they just finished a 4-27 year. They play in a part of the country where football reigns supreme and where the best basketball players are going to an SEC school first. The game I watched, they took Witchita State down to the wire, but it looked like they played in a glorified high school gym. Good luck to Hunter, who I really like, but I agree that he could have done better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely an OK hire for Vanderbilt, but based on the latter years at Georgetown, it's likewise hard to see him as a homerun upgrade. Seems they were in a huge hurry to get a mediocre coach.

Seems they were in a huge hurry to get a mediocre coach. I think for Vanderbilt it’s a really good hire. Is he a great hire for a top tier Power 5 school? No. But that’s not Vandy. Vandy is an academic institution with not much of a basketball history. They’re getting a guy who has won 3 Big East Titles and been to a Final Four. Homerun, probably not, but really good fit, probably. Based purely on resume it’s an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
