James Dickey to be named new U of Houston coach

[usedtobe1]

So much for hiring him as an OU assistant. My buddy who was a team manager while Dickey was an OSU assistant said he is really good.

Good for him.

Most locals expected Billy Gillespie to get the job.

Good man, good coach, glad to see him back at it.

Congrats to Coach Dickey. He is one of the good guys in the industry imo.

Sat next to James Dickey at an lowly AAU game and he had every name and number to every kid on the court. The only D1 recruit of all the kids was Lane Adams, but it didn't matter to him.

That whoosh of air you just heard was all the middle school basketball coaches in the state letting out a sigh of relief.

What does that mean?

He coached the 8th grade Stillwater Middle School boys this year. They went undefeated.

um Stillwater's youth basketball program might be the worst in the state. If you take the surrounding class 2A, A, and B teams near stillwater, most of them could beat stillwater on all levels..

I had read somewhere that Dickey's 8th grade team went undefeated. Is this not true?

Regardless, I imagine 8th grade history teachers don't have much interest against going against a Division 1 head coach.

What a boring hire for UH. Why not take a chance on Greg Wise, Yates BB Coach?

I'll say this, BCG must have some major baggage not to get this job...

Dickey is a safe hire and probably a lot more economical.

I must have missed it, did Penders retire?
