    I am really excited about the hire! It sounds like the people that are against or dislike the hire, only have one reason....his age. I think it is hard to compare him to some other 23 year-old kid. The guy eats, sleeps, and breaths basketball. He has been around it his entire life. We did not pick him up at a local high-school, or at some AAU tournament. He was a legitimate assistant coach with a D1 program. I believe he deserves his shot and I am glad it is with us. If he does not work out, we took a risk. T-spoon, as much as I love her, was not cutting it. Just look over the last three seasons. I am glad we cut ties and have moved one. If not, I might start comparing her to another coach we have that we string along for no reason... Baseball anyone? I can't wait to come to the TAC and watch our Techsters play with a packed crowd. Let's bring back the tradition.

    I can't believe you said that about a 23-yr old, unproven women's basketball coach. Those kind of words are usually reserved for more accomplished leaders.

    Re: A few thoughts.....

    HD, like you I was shocked we had hired a 23 year old. But after learning as much about him as I could from the web, etc., he has been preparing for this all his life. Watching game film with his mother from age 10. He walked on at Tenn., not to make it to the NBA, but to learn to be a coach. He is a complete student of the game. If this was a stand alone deal I wold say it's going to take him a while to be completly ready. But with Micki, Pat Summitt's top assistant in the deal, I think we will be much improved very quickly.

    Finally, I think there as 32 year old assistants out there that are not as prepared as this kid. Yea, I said KID. That's because I started watching Tech basketball when Mike Green was a freshman. Give him a little time and I think this will prove to be a great hire.

    I will just say that this is NO ordinary 23 year old. You could easily put him in the prodigy category from everything that I have read. Plus (like every extraordinary) coach, he knows how to surround himself with people that will make him successful. Best hire we could have made - hands down..

    To add to that, his social and communication skills are outstanding. That is rare in 23-year-olds and many times is not present in individuals who are extremely intelligent.
