He was at Northwestern...so obvious connections to Dildy & Malnati.

So, not knocking the wire BUT he played soccer at a small school. I’m not real familiar with job description of DOBO….

But this seems like a “buddy” hire… which I’m definitely against.

Any thoughts?


Well, reread slowly the whole thing… guess he’s been doing that for four years. Wasn’t Cade offered that? Makes sense why we said no and wanted to coach HS ball. To me anyways

DOBO is an administrative job.

The only connection between him and the current staff is it looks like he overlapped with Dildy for a year at Northwestern. It appears the guy has been living in Africa for a couple of years working for a nonprofit.

Scheduling, travel, compliance, and personnel management. Nice to have a basketball guy in the role, but it honestly doesn't matter.

thanks for the clarifications...

I "assumed" wrongly of course, that any staff guy is looking to get into coaching...lol. I know I would..so it didn't make sense with his background. They do say though that soccer is a lot like basketball...:ez-roll:

DOBO at OU does scheduling, hotel logistics, etc. really what the head coach wants. I wonder if DOBos are going to start playing a role in NILs.
