Ben McCollum

IF OU has to move on from Moser after the season, McCollum should be at the top of the list. 5-0 start at Drake, his first D1 job.

not saying it’s your opinion but weird that folks treat basketball on here 2nd rate if comparing to football

Would football heads accept a d2 all
Star coach over a proven d1 winner?

Then folks get mad at a low budget hire….

There is no magic formula for hiring a coach. KU and KSU are probably pretty happy with their small-school hires even though neither of them came with the hype train that Venables did. Bob Stoops was a first-time head coach. Riley was a first-time head coach. Anyone who thinks it is easy for an AD to identify a sure thing is kidding themselves. Venables and Moser both seemed like good hires, or at least potentially good hires. It clearly hasn’t worked out for either.
