    Who is the best mid-major men's college basketball coach? Has built a program, good game coach, and not an out-and-out cheater?

    (Other than Mark Few, Jim Larranaga and the guy at Belmont, all of whom probably aren't looking for another job).

    One guy who's NOT on the list: UW-Milwaukee's Rob Jeter. [/Gutter]

    Wright State's Brad Brownell ... used to be at UNC Wilmington ... is a good one.

    Oh, wait. This was a MID-major discussion. My bad.

    Clearly, UW-Milwaukee is low-major.

    :D

    I don't know if he's the best, but Old Dominion's Blaine Taylor is doing a decent job.

    Fuck Jim Larranaga in the dick with a rusty spork. Fuck him and good.

    And Brad Brownell is a good choice. Just look at how UNCW completely fell apart without him.

    I thought you were going to throw Tom Pecora's name in there.

    Brad Brownell once left me a voicemail and forgot to hang up his phone after the message, so I got about five minutes of him driving around in his car listening to sports-talk radio afterwards. I was a little disappointed it wasn't something he could sing along to. But I'll certainly vouch for his coaching, if not his grasp of technology. Dana Altman also a good choice, as well as someone willing to drink a beer with you should you run into him in the middle of Kansas.
     
  11. Whaaaaat? I normally condone all types of spork violence, but Jim L is one of the nicest coaches I've ever dealt with.
