Dildy to Duke

[AdaSooner]

Original staff: Patrick, Turner, Dildy

Current staff: Humphrey, Gates, Custer

Make of that what you will.

I understand the point you’re trying to make. I, too, was excited about Moser’s initial hires.

Problem is, two of the three didn’t stay long enough to unpack all of their bags! Dildy was a good hire and a big loss. Turner and Patrick did very little to prove they were here for anything but to collect a paycheck.

The jury is still out on the current staff.

I agree on the jury being out on the staff. My point was simply that you can't blame Moser for losing guys that are making vertical moves. That just means he DID hire well.

I'm on board for Moser being on the hottest of seats this year too.....I hope he proves everyone wrong.

Agree on both counts, as well as a successful season for Moser that could very well save his job!

I disagree with you because you try to state, as fact, stuff that you literally know nothing about. You think because you watch sports you know exactly what the coaching industry is about.

You tell me I'm dumb when I point out those guys leave to further their careers?

Custer is the only one of those three that doesn't have a good resume and he is a young, hungry guy with plenty of familiarity with how Moser's system works and the staff. Exactly what you like from a third assistant. He isn't there to add a lot to the Xs and Os...no third assistant is.

I get you aren't happy with OU hoops and Moser. Everyone does. You literally ***** about every single thing that happens...good or bad. No one can give you any background about how the coaching world works because you think you know it all already.

Ahh, so we're back to the "I coached in college, you don't know as much as me" garbage huh?

That isn't a conversation I'm looking to have.

Edit: And you are still missing the point, even though I spelled it out for you in my second post.

Oh you want me to spell it out for you?

When it comes to basketball and college coaching...yes...I know more than you. I lived it. I did it. I have hands on experience with it. So yes. I do.

I would expect, if you were a doctor, lawyer, custodian, garbage man, business manager, etc that you would be more knowledgeable/experienced than me. That's just the nature of things.

And yes, the original staff Moser hired is, on paper, better than the current one as evidenced by two of them currently being head coaches and one an assistant at Duke.

You missed my point...that speaks highly of Moser's hiring. A part of a head coach's job is to help prepare assistants to move up and move into their own head coaching jobs some day. Good for him and good for his assistants moving up.

I've tried to be civil with you. I try not to put anyone on ignore. Maybe we can attempt a truce and stop going at each other so much.

Wt you are embarrassing yourself here. NCS is being fair

But he's not.

His coaching experience has NOTHING to do with this conversation. None. Zip. Nada. I simply pointed out that the staff Moser hired initially was significantly better than the staff we'll have this season (on paper at least). Period. Nothing about his (NCS) coaching experience matters when conversing about that topic.

I pretty much never respond to the guy, but he searches out each and every one of my posts to give his input. If he was serious about not fussing on the board all of the time, he'd just not respond to my posts that he doesn't agree with. That is simple. He posts lots of stuff I don't agree with. 95% of the time, I simply read it and move on. He (and others) should do the same.

Porter pulled the plug on TO Barrett. No one was sad to see him leave Edmond north either.
To left team griffin because he didn’t want to play with Dayton. Dayton is a better pg.

Staff is younger for sure. Of course concerns. Less experienced. Dildy a huge loss. Duke knows.
All know the grind. Gates hump experienced enough. Custer a worker. Played in final 4. Can speak to that.

If they can bring in high level and respected player development guy. It’ll go a long way.

Probably for the best. I thought he was the most talented player at the TOC, but only the 4th best overall because his attitude & effort was lacking.

Recently some high level Oklahoma kids (Cooper, Johnson, Norman kid) with a little baggage or unhappiness have went to Prep school and it seems to work out for the most part. We'll see if it works out for TO & Castillo.

that speaks highly of Moser's hiring.

Playing devil's advocate, one might argue that one factor that should play a role in hiring assistants is how long they're likely to stick around, which arguably impacts how much of a contribution they will make to the program. A coach who's in Norman for just a few weeks or months, no matter how good he might be, might not have been the best hire for our needs.

Dildy, I would agree, left a positive legacy in Norman; some of the others who left quickly, not so much.

All that said, it's a difficult thing to factor in--a head coach can't know, of course, what offers might be coming the candidate's way in the near future. But to the extent that it's possible, longevity should arguably be a key factor in the hiring decisions.

I agree there are a myriad of reasons for guys to leave. I just wouldn't blame a guy for leaving OU after a year to go to Duke or UK. I understand that move. Taking a head coaching job too.

I do agree with your viewpoint though.

He must really like working for a boss who won't listen to him

Someone that knows to not talk. Young dude….. I remember watching him in high school when he was an OU target. Fell to Loyola level and had a great career. Hopefully he has a great coaching career and this isn’t Custer’s last stand.

It's a bold strategy Cotton.

We'll see if it pays off.
