Felton Leaving
- Thread starter Bill Lowery_1
- Start date
Cason has left Texas so he is available. I don't know if Haith or Cason know each other, but if they do Cason would be no brainer and a great addition to the staff.
I'm all for Rod Thompson.
Curious question for anyone on here. If we were to hire Thompson who becomes associate head coach?
I'm all for Rod too, except I agree with Bill Lowery that our coaching staff is a little too inexperienced to automatically say let's add Rod.
But if we hire another inexperienced guy we could save money that would go to a Big time ball handling coach, haha
I'm all for Cason, but I doubt that happens. The Thompson thing seems too much like Mizzou hiring Porter's dad or Tubby hiring the Lawson's father. Any chance we could hire Dennis Rodman and have our team be rebounding champions?

touche- did not realize the AAU part
If Haith can't find a defensive whiz I'd be good with Thompson. The best players usually beat X's and O's- unless you play for Sean Miller (lately, I'm sure a number of coaches could work with that scenario)

Cason was/is a really good recruiter....We need that (Yesterday, today, and
tomorrow).....I'm beginning to wonder if Shea may not be better suited to X's
& O's than to recruiting......I hope he proves my 'wonderings' wrong......
We obviously do need some experience in that lead assistant's position......
If we hired Cason as the lead assistant and Rod as a non recruiting assistant/director of basketball operations/director of player development we probably couldn't go wrong with that. But their interest and/or Haith's interest probably don't match up with that.
The Texas program is a shambles. Read here.

Any chance Schwartz could return in an elevated position? Would an Associate HC at TU make more than the 3rd/4th chair at UT? I can't imagine Felton was making peanuts based on his resume.

IMO, Schwartz is an ideal candidate, 10 years of bench/recruiting experience, career arc still trajecting, best years ahead of him, but not too young.

It's difficult to see Texas improving dramatically as a lot of their top level talent is all NBA type talent as well. Their FR-C is a really good player and probably would get drafted in the 1st round. The guard play on that team was just so inconsistent from game to game.
Got it. I was not impressed with players he brought in. Seemed like a nice guy and he seemed to have Haiths ear during games. It maybe that Seals and English can do all the recruiting we need. IF so I would go with the best X&O guy we can find. If not, Cason would be a big asset IMO.
I don't see Cason returning to TU for anything less than HC. I see him latching on with a former connection, such as Stallings at Pitt.
