Then, why post something as fact when you are just guessing? You were so often wrong about our team, but thought you would get on here and take one more jab at us? And, sorry, looks like Tyler didn't transfer to VT like you said he would. LOL.
That's a good one. Probably the exception more than the norm. I expect Davidson will drop down a bit in a couple years.
It's fair to say any coach that replaces him, son or not, would maybe not win as much, but this kind of goes back to my earlier question when comparing Mooney with McKillop. McKillop has not won a tourney game since 2008. If his son gets in there and wins a few NCAA tourney games, maybe Davidson fans are happier with that, even if it means one or two less NCAA tournament appearances, and maybe not quite as many wins overall.
The Drews at Valpo/Baylor.
I can see Dad taking a lot of retirement trips. LOL
succeeding with dad's recruits won't prove it to me. he's got to land the same type of talent. and he might. we'll see. but I don't think a recruit will or should give the new coach the same reverance as dad just because he has the same last name. he's got to earn it.
yes. that's like any head coach being replaced by an assistant. maybe he's a great recruiter. I don't know. we can be pretty sure Bob's been the closer though.
Agreed - but the way you earn it is by winning, and he needs to win RIGHT NOW to keep that momentum going - even if it is with his Dad's players - but really they are his players because as the assistant coach for last 14 years - he likely recruited them more than Dad did. But what can't happen is a .500 season this year and next year - then recruits will think - Davidson is nothing without Dad and it will be an uphill battle.
I also think Dad is going to be much more involved during this transition than your average coaching change to ensure that everything goes as smoothly as it possibly could over these next few years. So they have that going for them as well.
we'll see. Dooley assisted Tarrant for 8 years. that was a smooth transition too.
And that is part my point. Dooley went 14-14 and then 8-20 - first 2 years were downhill. BUT also remember Tarrant was only 15-12 his final year as well.
Those are 3 big losses for Davidson. Good players. We'll never forget Jones.
They might take a step back but Davidson really has the record and success we at UR should try to copy. Since entering the A10 - they never had a losing season. The order of post-season appearances goes like this.
No doubt we will be hiring one of Mooney’s sons in the 2050’s
Based on video of some of the post season #1 game, Mooney son #1 is crazy intense and focused watching the games ..
So you are predicting CM will retire..............................
20 years from now .... Chris is 70, my mother is 103, I'm in my late 60s and we are all headed over to Robins for the games from Westminster Canterbury .. and yes I am still sitting in Section 9 Row D and Chris is still the coach but considering abdicating to Mooney son #1 or son #2. (by this point, we have made 4 more sweet 16s and of course our amazing Final Four Run in 2025)
Kirby led us to that final four in '25 as a freshman but only played 2 years for the Spiders before being our 1st lottery pick ... winding down his long and productive NBA career in '42.
Surely Nancy Lieberman played a role somewhere down the line as well right?
yes - Nancy was our AD in the glory years after Hardt returned to his alma mater to resurrect their program after we had eliminated them due to crazy brackets 4 of 5 years in the 20s in the early rounds of the NCAA ...
