In other hoops news, Providence hired Keno Davis. Good hires for both schools.
Congrats Travis!!!!!
I think that's a pretty weak hire for Oklahoma State. Ford may turn out to be very good, but nothing he's done at UMass shows me he's a sure thing. Getting to a couple of NITs with UMass? Big deal.
Guess the Billy G speculation was just talk and hope after all.
I would have been insulted as a UK fan if Billy G had left for that job, but given that some billionaire has given them a huge chunk of money to play with, I hadn't ruled it out. I agree with Boston Red: it was not that impressive a hire. Ford hasn't accomplished anything spectacular at UMass, and the same could be said of his previous stops.
I would compare this to Arkansas hiring John Pelphrey. Not a proven name or record, but the track record under a certain coach gives the name more credibility.Originally Posted by macro
I met Travis Ford last summer when our course hosted a booster golf tournament for UMass hoops.
The way he talked about "his kids" and the UMass program, I would have guessed he'd never leave.
He was a lot shorter that I remember him from his Wildcat days.
The Ford hiring is a little surprising considering all the money Pickens was rumored to be throwing around. I guess all that money was only good for Self. After losing him, they went "young and cheap".
Down here in Big XII country, I'm used to people getting it "wrong."Oklahoma State. Forgot I had to clarify around here.
