Stackhouse to Vandy official

I think this is going to end badly, very badly.
I have to wonder if there was any dirt on Drew that Vandy was afraid would get out. I hate to accuse teams of that with no evidence, but this has been a weird coaching search. Seems like they just cut ties with Drew, with no real plan of who they wanted to get as the next coach.
Did anybody remind Vanderbilt that Stackhouse has no eligibility left?
Their insiders and loyal fans believe that kids are going to flow to him like they are Penny at Memphis....only difference is at Vandy you have to actually go to class.
He won the D League Championship and was coach of the year in 2017. It will be interesting to see how he does at Vandy. I think it will depend on his recruiting.
I like the hire. You're talking about a program that hasn't been to an Elite Eight since 1965. Why not try a different approach.
He has shown some coaching skill in the D-League and has been credited with helping several players in the Raptors system.
However, in college he'll have to recruit and that's where he's an untested commodity. This will either be a genius move or end up very badly.

He could do well, he could flop. Vandy has the financial means to make a great hire with a proven coach, assuming they could get someone to come there from a solid program.
Time will tell.

Tennessee recruiting war between Jerry and Penny. Should be interesting
He needs to hire a recruiting director like Edgar's wife in MIB needed a decorator, 'cause....
Definitely a strange hire, but Vanderbilt has had no sustained success, so why not
Fantastic hire. Played at UNC and took those fake classes. Should be able to establish a really good cheating scheme at Vandy. He also has coached in the G league. Hard to find many people with that type experience.
Without key players injuries, they would not have been 0-18.
This just feels odd. Like Hershey's Syrup on pancakes.
I just don't agree with hiring a pro coach with 0 college basketball coaching experience to take over a college job. Especially one with the challenges that Vanderbilt faces.
The fact that academics matter at Vanderbilt...I mean really matter makes hiring a North Carolina at Chapel Hill guy with a bogus degree an incredible hire. I have always been a big Vandy fan only behind the Wildcats. I am going to have take a leave of absence of pulling for them as long as Stackhouse is there...very disappointing.
Definitely come out of nowhere. But what does Vandy really have to lose at this point? Went 0 for the SEC this past year. He can't do much worse than Drew. If he does have the chops then they look like geniuses.
An academic school taking a kid who graduated from a diploma mill. Not sure about that kind of a hire. Any program with integrity would stay away from UNC grads.
6 years? That seems like a long contract for a hire like this.
You bet. We will let in kids that couldn't get in if they weren't star basketball players, but they have to do the work (they'll have study halls, tudors, Etc, so it's doable but not easy).
Ok.
Should be interesting, but I'm not willing to say it will be a disaster because he's never coached in college.
He's been playing for 40 years and under some phenomenal coaches. He has coached in the g league and was successful. Can he recruit? What assistants does he hire?
Pretty excited to hear about his plans, staff, recruiting and ultimately coaching.
So Allen Iverson and who else you thinking for assistants? I kid I kid, but he'll obviously copy penny and hire some NBA colleagues
We know he attended a diploma mill school at UNC and attended fake classes while there. I take the word attended loosely. No one actually attended the fake classes. They just received A's for signing up.
