Eric Musselman currently asst coach at Arizona State. Hope we land him

Go Bulls!!!

I think he would be a good get!

Much better than Rice in my opinion

2003: Golden State 38-44
2004: Golden State 37-45
2007: Sacramento Kings 33-49
2011: Reno (NBA DL) 34-16
2012: LA (NBA DL) 38-12

Spent the last 2 years at Arizona State learning how to recruit...

He could be a really solid hire.

That name has been bandied about on the Houston bulletin boards. The general feeling is that he would be a very good hire.

^ whats up with Kelvin Sampson? seems a great fit.

Before NBA he was highly successful in minor leagues in Florida. I like this name way more than Rice

Sounds like that would be a good hire.

Still negotiating is all we have heard. Knowing us, Im sure money is the sticking point. Im hoping we are finally ready to ante up with a big boy coach.

I also heard of John Lucas for Houston... Have you Attackcoog or perhaps other Coogs heard the same???

Quietly, I believe Sampson to Houston is a done deal... I'll be totally shock if Sampson isn't named Houston's basketball head coach before Thursday of next week.

Damn... Eric Musselman wouldn't be an inside the park home run, but rather an over the fence home run, hands down.

Hope you guys get him

A lot of people believe that, but when it comes to money...things can get very dicey in our athletic department. I hope we are ready to make a proper commitment to quality basketball. Supposedly there is at least one other hat in the ring. I guess it could be Lucas---he supposedly expressed interest last time the job was open. From what we are hearing---we like Sampson, he likes us----that means its just about making the numbers work. Its not going to be cheap.

I would love to have Musselman be the next Houston coach. I thought that long before the Sampson stuff came up.

I hear is down to him or Antigua who is asst. coach at UK. Im hoping for Musselman

I thought Neal was a candidate. What happened to him? Or did he just use USF to try and get a raise out of NM?

Overall 566-340 (.625 pct.)
NBA record: 108-138 (.439 pct.)
CBA record: 270-122 (.688 pct.)
USBL record: 53-3 (.946 pct.)
NBA D-League record: 77-30 (.719 pct.)

You never know what kind of talent he had since the GM's hand it to him, but I do think he would do well. Having NBA connections on your resume looks good in the recruiting game. I like him better than Massiello and most of the names connected to this job.

I dont think Neal was as serious a candidate as the media made him out to be. USF was looking at a good recruiter or someone with coaching experience. I think Neal was good this year but the book still has questions on both those issues.

I think Musselman is better in coaching experience and recruiter and Antigua is also a better recruiter
