Will be united with fellow Bobcat Tom Boeh. Bittersweet. He would have been a great Bobcat Head Coach for many years to come, but you have to strike while the iron's hot. Good luck to him.

This is an interesting hire, taking someone who's pretty much worked his entire career in a region ranging from Akron to Huntington and putting him on the left coast. On the other hand, recruiting is a lot more national than in years past. I hope it works out for him.

After watching great coaching changes .....not good .....not average ....great coaching moves the last 3 years. I am positively scratching my head over this one. I believe the next big coachng carousel is after the 2013 season.  Anthony Grant to Bama , Groce to OU, Tayloe to Balls, Crean to IU, Cal to UK, Stanford, Zona,cal, Clemson,Wright  are all moves that fit the best fit model and had Shake had the Tenn job still availabe I wuld have said another great move but I am befuddled by some of this years moves including this one. Geno, Gregory, Boals, the Mizzou hire.....I'd say Shaka made a great move and will  move in2 years when some big jobs come up....sometimes patience reallypays off. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Impressive, especially when you consider the asst is the one who is at the forefront of the recruitment of the players. Look for Fresno to elevate its level of kids being looked at. Lokks though like his roots and recruiting background is mostly Texas....which, between Dallas and Houston has a ton of AAU and good summer ball teams. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If places like Bradley are shelling out $600K guaranteed for 4-5 years I'd really have to consider holding out. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

I know he's a good guy, and he's had a few asst coaching stints. So what? Because his credentials are that of pretty much every other candidate we would have, with the obvious tiebreaker being he is one of OUr own.  You'd be crazy to not support hiring him next summer should there be an opening. I'd be totally cool with a MAC regular season Championship, some postseason success, Groce bring hired away, and Boals coming in.  Not trying to get rid of Groce, just the nature of being a mid major program.

I agree.  He has roughly the same credentials that Groce had before he was hired.  Shouldn't we want to have success under Groce and then have him stay?  I just looked and it appears that Fresno State only pays $50,000 per year more than Ohio, so the salary thing is not relevant.

He was an extremely smart player on the court so you'd have to think that would translate well to coaching.   But to your original point, why is any assistant ever annointed?  Back to Top Monroe Slavin General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Oxnard, CA Post Count: 9,121 Status: Offline     RE: Boals to Fresno...    Posted: 4/9/2011 7:56:14 PM  Van--I too would think that smarts in a player would bode well for that player being a good coach.  But force of personality, ability to recruit, communicate, motivate and teach are so much a part of it.  You'd think a smart player would be smart about these skills also, but it's so difficult to tell on the front end (before someone is hired).  Of course, court-smarts would be big on my list of traits, too. I am not in any way saying that Boals lacks these skills.  He was a fine player for us, really understood what he needed to do for us to win--and did it. It's interesting (well, maybe) how superstar players often don't make good coaches.  Those who have overwhelming physical talent must be frustrated when they just can't teach that to their players.

Don't hold me on this .. I was in middle school and one of the ball boys.  Someone correct me if Im wrong please.. He had big time offers until  he blew out his knee..  Larry gave him a chance..  Goes back to the non- dunker..    He was always a hustler and very dicipline .   He will be good sometime hopefully sooner that later ..
