This Oats guy can coach. He's deserving of a chance in the best basketball league around.
IMO, Hurley and Musselman would be good as well but I'm hoping it's Oats.

Oats, Oats, Oats, Hurley, Musselman

And his brother said he'd rather stay at UB than coach a dumpster fire at Pitt. He has a decent class returning and some good recruits coming in.
Move on.
Move on.
So his brother is his spokesperson. If that truly is the case then I wouldn’t want him. I like people who can speak for themselves.
He did. It’s a graduated buyout and the cost is only 1 mil if he goes somewhere else this year. So if someone wants him bad enough that extension is virtually meaningless.
-In my opinion absolutely. He is one of the most arrogant coaches Ive ever seen, he can recruit, and his players play hard. This is like old school Pitt basketball the way his guys play except they have an explosive offense and he doesnt back down from anyone, calling it like he sees it. With how cocky he is, he might not even look at us. They are a runaway favorite to win the league again next year with their entire roster coming back minus 1 player. I dont know how Pitt cant call him. The way he talks should win the crowd over immediately. He's not Dixon or Stallings, Eh, um ah, um well, we need to rebound. No, he said he thought they were to going to punch Arizona in the mouth, and did just that. Hell yes
Absolutely not, guy would be a loser if that happened.
Same with Musselman, if Nevada wins today Pitt should offer him the world. But if they lose the guy is a bum in my book.
-I also found his x and o's impressive too. They asked him about how they lost 8 games this year. He said you really want to know, I can tell you the mistakes we made in all of them and why we blew it and lost. Flat out zero sugarcoat with this guy. He's like a young Calhoun
-It is friggin pathetic Im watching these guys, Hurley, Mussleman, Oats, all these guys have fire. We have Stallings caught sleeping at basketball games while recruiting. This has to be one of the worst hires in all of D1 history all time. Shake my head
-Corey Evans reports Musslemans name has come up for the Pitt job. Action, finally
The man turned around a dumpster fire at Nevada. There is no doubt he would do the same here. I wonder if the Martin brothers could Grad Transfer here next year if he got hired.
-Just get 1 of those 4. I had it at 3 and I liked Crean as a possible but i had never heard of Oates before this tournament even started. 3 guys with Fire and a Proven winner in Matta. 4 Tries to get it right
Matta, Mussleman, Oates, Hurley
-Strike out, go possibly darth vadar with Miller / Pitino and the zoo becomes the death star. Ill be the villian instead of sink with Stallings 2.
Interesting. Though I think some are his own recruits, no? Still the coaching job he pulled on Miller was outstanding, and his own.
That isn’t accurate. The majority of the team are his guys, and he has 2 four stars coming in next year. For example, Clark is a Sr. Transfer who came because of him.
