How about Paul Mills at ORU for starters. He was an assistant at Baylor for many years. Baylor has not been doing too bad. IMO a far better coach on fundamentals than Kruger. ORU looked much better than OU in this tournament. I know Kruger gets a lot of praise from the basketball "experts" but his teams can play like junior high teams and are inconsistent. OU had 9 turnovers in the first half of Gonzaga and Kruger had no answer for it.Kruger was #23 of current HCs according to Ranker. Who is OU going to get as good? I’m asking.
I was thinking originally about Mills too
My answer would be strength and conditioning for hands and fore arms. "Hug the dummy" drills to teach wrap around on the ball. For basketball I would drill them on passing and dribbling skills. I would bench them if it does not improve their ability to avoid dribbling into a crowd and losing the ball. I would drill them on seeing and knowing where a teammate is before they throw the ball out of bounds where no one was standing to receive the ball. Do you think fumbling and turnovers happen because there are no training drills to avoid or improve skills?Paul Mills in 4 years at ORU has yet to win more than 18 games in a season and has winning percentage of .467. I don’t see it. I think Mark Turgeon (.662) would be a better choice and there’s talk that he may be interested in leaving Maryland. Grant McCasland (North Texas) would be someone to consider also. He’s a proven winner.
Also, what is the answer when your players are fumbling the football or turning over the basketball?

BTW: Do you think Mills should have won more games with the players he's able to recruit to ORU? Hint: ORU requires all students to sign a contract at admission stating they will not drink alcohol, smoke or have sex for the duration of their student life. This alone will knock the shine off a recruiting pitch.
Didn’t want to start a new thread for this, but Shaka is headed to Marquette:
Smart leaves Texas, named coach at Marquette
Shaka Smart, who coached Texas for the past six seasons, has been announced as Marquette's new head basketball coach, replacing Steve Wojciechowski.www.espn.com
File this under the category of "You can't fire me; I quit!"
Texas would probably be a more attractive bball job than OU. If Smart leaves Texas would probably get the better candidate.
He's my second, Sampson follows posthumous Billy. Imo. 😁Bring back coach Sampson
Chris Beard to Texas, cant believe he is leaving Tech. Tech has great players and now OU has to battle them for a top tier coach.
Porter Moser of Loyola in Chicago currently considering OU's offer. He's 52.
