The Wes Miller Thread

[leo from jersey]

Bob Huggins from the Enquirer (paywall) said: Is there a considerable home court advantage in Big 12?

"Yes and no. I think the league was better before it got so strung out. Now that it's so strung out I think it's different. There's great coaches in that league. That's a coaches league. If you can't coach, that's a hard league to be in. A lot of those guys have been coaching as long as I was coaching. I know all those guys. I know how good they are."

I'm not sure what he means by that. It's a balanced league in terms of coaching experience. Sure, there are guys like Self, Sampson, Boyle, Drew, Dixon, and Dawkins who have been around a long time. But then there are fresh faces like Tang, Young, Lloyd, Lutz and Devries. And guys in between like Miller, Otzelberger, McCasland, Smith, and Hurley with around a decade of experience.

It's similar to the SEC with Pearl, Barnes, Calipari, and Williams (even Michael White is in his 14th year). Or the BigTen with Izzo, Painter, Willard, Altman, McCaffery, and Cronin.

He did say he would like to coach again. Being a coaches league, if you are not a good coach, you will be losing. Huggs knows the long standing BIG12 coaches and has beat them. He has been sober for 2 years and has lost weight. He compared himself (age) to R. Pitino and said how Pitino is winning.

I see where you are going with this Leo. It is an interesting thought.

I was going to say something in this regard after he showed up at the UCF game but didn't want to stir the pot too much... I'm not sure if the University would take the PR hit for it or not but I think the fans would mostly be good with it

I think this is a non starter for almost all parties involved except the fans and maybe Huggs himself and I'm not even sure about Huggins

If CWM fizzles out big time and after the JB mess, the team will have a PR nightmare. The deep pockets are getting upset I bet. I find it hard to think he would come back, but one never knows when a team is in a mess. Huggs could just be talk, but I am sure he is getting the word out -- for all openings. It gets Huggs publicity and the fans are entertained.
