When BG hangs up his basketball shoes, he’ll get my vote as OU’s head coach. Son of a coach. High profile college and NBA player. Well known in the areas OU recruits. Connections to the AAU and to prep schools. Kids will listen to him because he’s been where they want to go. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Blake may not be interested in coaching when he retires from the NBA. But, I see him as another Juwan Howard, only better. When Michigan hired Howard, the Fab Five was an unknown to kids or something they had heard about from their father. I think our next hire should be a young, enthusiastic, highly-motivated coach, preferably one with connections to the state and/or to the university. Blake checks every box and then some.
