Viable Assistant Coach Replacements?
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
The offense changed dramatically this year. Get a Chris Beard or Tony Bennett disciple and let them re-design the defense like Welch did the offense.
(With that said I'm curious to see what the offense looks like next year if we don't have the shooters we did this year...)
There were some allusions to one of the assistants keeping the bars in business, I don't know if that was about Coleman or not. But they did say he's supposed to be the defense guy on the staff, so that's clearly not working.
You can bet he will be on staff. Be shocked if it doesn’t happen. It would be typical arrogant Cal.
that has "old, tired and just want to collect a paycheck" written all over it
You could start with a great replacement for the HC.
Well yes, but since he is here to stay, the assistants are likely our only ones to speculate on.
I understand that sentiment…but at least he could develop the bigs. there isn’t anybody on the current staff who can coach x’s and O’s or develop players
If I was Mitch, I would've pretty much demanded another assistant coach shakeup. It's happened a few times and we thought it would help, but ultimately it hasn't done much for the on-court product.
What the hell does Antigua do that's worth $850K? Recruit and what else? He was a ****** head coach. I think him and Chin both play the "big brother/guidance counselor" role, which is important for young players, but I haven't really seen what else they bring to the table. It's certainly not game prep. Clearly Reed and Dilly should've started, but getting our *** kicked every game in the first 4 minutes points to poor coaching and preparation. Period. And typically assistants are largely responsible for game plans.
It goes without saying that loser Bruiser Flint should be gone. Fire a couple of assistants and bring in a film nerd to help with game prep, along with another developmental guy like Welch. And keep Ulis as a mentor to the point guards.

That’s what I’m afraid of, we have already switched assistants once all the way around and it did nothing. Welch seems to be a great hire and our offense was great, until Cal decided to go against it the most important games of the season.
Why not Scott Padgett and Jeff Sheppard? They have already "coached" one UK team to a national championship and certainly Jeff Sheppard has demonstrated that he can prepare a high school player to succeed at the college level.
