I would rank the top 3 coaches this way:

1. Gillispie
2. Kruger
3. Anderson

My wish list before the hire:

1. Anderson
2. Gillispie
3. Kruger

Who I want at OU now that I'm finding more out about Kruger:

1. Kruger
2. Anderson
3. Gillispie

First and foremost I would LOVE to see 40 minutes of hell in Norman. I think Anderson's style fits at OU like a glove. I think he could win BIG in Norman but it wasn't to be w/Arkansas in the mix and I'm not sure he would have been a candidate anyway. When Capel got canned Gillespie seemed like a true fit but with his issues off the court, you knew Joe C could be REALLY putting the program in a dangerous 'situation'. Quite frankly I never thought it would be Kruger, didn't give it much thought. But the more I learn about Kruger, his style of play, his charisma, etc. etc., the more I think Joe hit a home run. I think of all the coaches who were on the move or available, it turns out that Kruger might have very well been the best candidate.

i dont like anderson, there is little coaching IMO. they just press and then play AAU ball on offense.. meh
