ESPN - Top 40 Coaches under 40

[SpiderTrap]

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...40-rank-best-young-coaches-college-basketball

Interesting list by ESPN. Has some A10 names on it.

14. Jamion Christian - GW
28. Matt McCall - UMASS
34. Ashley Howard - LaSalle

Just missed - Jamal Brunt (VCU)

I know Wade draws the most criticism, but I agree with the article - based on the court and recruiting he has been a home run. In all depends on your opinion of him paying players. Do you see him as the problem - or is he just doing what everyone else is doing, so no big deal???

Has this article been done 8 years ago when Mooney was under the 40 mark - he would have been probably top 10 on the list - coming off back to back NCAA appearances.

Saw this the other day. First thought, the guy I have been touting as Moon replacement for three years is number 1 on the list. Too late, that ship sailed. I'm riding with my dude Mooney now for a couple 3, 20 more years anyhow.

I have always kept an eye on Toole ever since they beat Kentucky in that NIT game. He seemed like a guy that could coach. And he seems to lose players to transfers - but they seem to be transferring up, which to me is a good sign of a recruiter at that level with Robert Morris.

I don’t know but Lori Loughlin should have asked for his lawyer

Yep that's true Trap you've always been a big Toole guy!

Joking aside I like him too. Along with Richey and Miller of course. But other guys we haven't talked about that are good imo are the Hawaii coach Eran Ganot, he's an east coaster originally too, I definitely think he'll move up. I also like Bashir Mason.

There are still some 40+ coaches who I really like and expect might move up, Ryan Odom and then John Becker at vermont. Becker little older so likely tougher for him. Odom and Toole r similar in I think both got a little dinged recently for a "down" year, but at schools like RMU and UMBC with transfer issues and not much tradition it's hard, u have to get graded on curve at those places. RMU has really good facilities now so I expect they'll stay near top of that conference. Odom at UMBC will have another good year in 20-21 and will be high on lists.

One 40+ coach I'm surprised hasn't moved up is Moton at NC A&T. I don't know I think u just don't get that chance as much from a HBCU.
