Damon Stoudamire?

106

I’ve been away for a few days, and I come home to hear DS is the leading candidate to be the new coach?

This sounds a lot like the CR hire…a smooth talker who can (probably) recruit, but not proven as a coach or a guy who can run a program.

I mean, it is intriguing (so was CR), but the Beavs need a proven coach.

I’d rather see David Grace, even with his CR associations, over DS. This just sounds too familiar.

  1. One thing that I have seen is the CR was stubborn and did not want to bring in coaches to help him with the X’s & O’s. That’s why nothing really changed or improved in his tenure.

    I’ve read that Damon wouldn’t have too much pride to do hire smart assistants but obviously I don’t know how true that is. If he actually would hire competent assistants then I don’t have too much of a problem with this.

    • It was a foregone conclusion.

      I would like an explanation. The job has been publicly posted, I was under the impression that a job posting for a publicly funded institution had to meet certain guidelines. Can BDC interview only 1 candidate? Also, couldn’t anyone – Beavergopher, for instance call to express interest ? Why are coaches saying they are waiting to hear from BDC – Can’t they call him? aarrgh – Also, is BDC doing this hire by himself without input from anyone else?

  2. Eric Musselman should really be talked to. Not exactly sold on Damon unless quality X’s and O’s assistants are brought in. Musselman had some success in the NBA as a coach, did really well in the NBDL or CBA and also was greatly responsible for the turnaround at ASU. Guy knows his X’s and O’s and is a well-respected teacher of the game. Wonder why he hasn’t found HC gig yet?

  3. What’s up with all this “begging and pleading” for the job? Do some of these candidates have a death wish? Connor losing sleep, Grace playing the “my recruits love me card”, Stoudamire getting endorsements from every media outlet in Arizona. Give me a break, man up and quit sniveling.

    At this point just pick someone,BDC. Maybe we will be surprised or maybe five more years of hell. At least OSU basetball has been to the tournament, we have that over Northwestern.

  4. I am fine with Damon but think its absurdly short sighted and stupid to dismiss an even better candidate in Conner simply because he doesn’t have a diploma.
    I think Conner bleeds black and orange and would bring the players from the Miller era back into the fold while also having tons of credibility with recruits as a long time NBA coach. Wouldn’t hurt if its true that the Bucks owner is a fan either, billionaires who like the coach and went to the school can’t hurt.

    • “I am fine with Damon but think its absurdly short sighted and stupid to dismiss an even better candidate in Conner simply because he doesn’t have a diploma.”

      For the umpteenth fucking time, whoever takes the OSU men’s basketball head coaching position becomes faculty. You think they hire professors who don’t have degrees? It’s not on BDC, It is a requirement of ANY faculty position at Oregon State University. Lester has had a long ass time to finish his degree. The fact that he hasn’t is his own damn fault. He is not a candidate nor would he be unless he had his degree. Can we finally put this baby to bed?

  5. Kerr to Warriors. Hollins available to talk. Give him that damn call he says he will take BDC. You haven’t done much else the past week and a half.

  6. I am assuming suspension, so what does Casey do with the rotation? Leave it the same and replace Wetz on Friday with Thompson or Schultz? Or does he move Moore to Friday and Fry to Sat and haveby committee on Sunday?

    • I agree with your assumption that Wetzler will have to sit out the important series w/Wash. Seems to me that moving Moore to Friday with Fry on Sat makes lots of sense: 1) Important to get off to a good start in the series, so use a proven starter, 2) by pushing the “by committee” off till Sunday we could see Davis as well as Thompson (and Schultz assuming he doesn’t throw a lot on Fri/Sat). When is Max E. gonna hit his stride?

      Davis could have a huge impact this weekend and in post season if he can keep his control at the level we saw the other night.

      • Leap frog Fry to Friday. I know it’s short rest but I don’t think he threw 100 pitches and he is Friday night talent. Moore hasn’t proved to be that guy. Win Friday and you put the pressure on the other guy, most 19 year olds make mistakes when you put them under pressure.

        • I kind of agree. I initially thought moving Moore and Jace up a day and having Schultz pitch Sunday was the best scenario. Not so sure now. But Jace has Friday night starter stuff. So, I’d go Jace, Moore, Schultz. In that order.

  7. David grace is an aau idiot that has never played basketball in his life. Not surprised angry likes him because his knowledge of sports is comparable.

  8. You like to rip on Riley and others at least they were players u are a bitter angry spectator I know guys like you never made a team but know everything

  9. Worse than a sportswriter at least they publish under a name you are just an angry bitter neophyte In the world of sports fight with nobody in front of you and a keyboard pretty pathetic I will donate if you go away

  10. I know your game twenty names responding on your blog all are you and all agree with you I could use multiple as well and agree with my self

  11. I know this is probably too much to ask, but please use any sort of punctuation you choose, its difficult to understand what you are saying. Commas, slashes, whatever…

  12. Want five bucks to shut up because you are an idiot you post shit we can all read on oregonlive and add your dipshit opinion did you even play a down of football in your life ? Or baseball? No . I should start a blog I know a lot – angry

    • you should start a blog! On how you and your egotistical pillow biter buddies over at pure orange teabag each other on a daily basis while talking about sports like rowing and womens golf

  13. Angry alter ego number whatever why? Only ten people reading this I’m not on a keyboard rite now in a bar in Vegas at least I have published something unlike this writer

  14. If you want me to post comments with 50 different names I will I got the spare time but but for your wife and kids sake buy a part from Callahan auto

    • I’m very sorry to hear about your shortcomings with the ladies. But you need not announce that on a blog about OSU athletics. I’m sure there are many support groups out there that could help you.

  15. Enough talk I’m right next to camera in left center at coleman field if you choose be back for Washington series you have a problem come find me

    • who has a problem with you? are you trying to solve an online dispute through violence? Im confused, what do you believe in?

  16. Angry/you I want people to know where they can find me if we disagree I’m about transparency and accountability if angry had it I would give my name

    • I’ll be at the games Friday and Saturday. What color skirt will you be wearing and which outfield scaffolding should I find to see you fall off of while intoxicated?

    • The only thing transparent is your lack of knowledge of English. Try using some punctuation. I know it’s hard with the UO degree you have to do anything other than drool all over your keyboard, but at least try. That’s all we ask.

    • Are you talking to me? I wouldn’t consider myself a pussy, but I also wouldn’t consider myself someone who gets upset at being called a pussy. So its a wash there. I’m truly curious, you spoke of fighting for what you believe in. What are your beliefs? Does it include calling people pussies?

    • Then talk shit for once. You’ve babbled about nothing over and over. Now you’re just getting boring.

      You think anything you’ve said rises above the level of, “Oh… there’s a mildly amusing drunk guy babbling over there?”

      You think you’ve talked shit?

      Now you funny too.

    • Wow… this had so much promise. Then it petered into dry gulch.

      Dude! You have to have passion for something… anything. Don’t you? You just turned onto some milquetoast caricature of dude in basement saying, “I know you are, but what am I?”

  17. I hope “New Jack” is not Peko. We can rule out a passing grade on that dreaded last English class if it is.

  18. Found Altman’s next transfer. Seems like a great fit for their “organization.”
