Something had to have changed for them to reach the final 4.

Most the country thinks it’s a home run hire.

I'm with you and allday on this one.
Moser may not be the perfect candidate, but let's be honest, we may not be the perfect job at this point. But I feel like we got a good one that will bring some national recognition, energy, and excitement to our program. I love LK but maybe that shot in the arm will help boost some of the apathy in fans and donors, that concentrate too much on the LNC, the Thunder, or softball and football to be overly passionate about basketball. I think Moser can help solve this.
Obviously, there are some challenges and we will have to see how successful he can be at recruiting and ultimately putting a winning, exciting brand of basketball on the floor. But I am happy with Moser and excited about our program.
Now have Moser bring the 'stache/Krutwig and Williamson and grab a couple more out of the portal and move this thing forward!
How about a guy that's finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, and 1st in his conference in the last four years?

Ok.... In the future the OP should specify that only certain types of comments are welcome in their thread.
You're copying and pasting the same garbage in every thread. We get it.

Gfy...
Those threads are now useless with news of the hire. This is now the official thread to discuss.

I like the hire. I personally would like more of an up tempo coach for fan support but this guy can coach. If he can get us some Chicago recruits along with some top guys in OK and TX. Watch out.

Highly schemed?

No, I’m not. Why? Because he built that program from nothing. Not easy to do. His teams play hard and they’re disciplined. I’m more interested in his more recent resume of winning.
As I’ve said before, Moser is a good coach. My only concern is recruiting and as coach said, he will need to adapt his system to the Big12. Good coaches can adapt to their talent and level of competition.

Come on, ABD! You didn’t get the coach you wanted, but your take on Moser is ridiculous, even for you.
Moser will get my full support! I don’t need a multipoint, lengthy dissertation to show why I make that statement. He’s our next basketball coach! End of story!

As sheepdogs put it, it is highly schemed. If you ever watched Rick Majerus' offense at SLU or Utah, it is that offense. However, Moser didn't have the athletes so he slowed the tempo a little bit. I think it can be a quicker-paced/higher-scoring offense than it was at Loyola if he gets higher-caliber athletes to run it, like those he will get in the Big XII.
My biggest concern is when teams are able to defend that double high post or the screened and backside 3PAs, how effective will it be at scoring. There are some great defensive-minded coaches in our conference with Huggins, Self, Webber, Beard, and Drew, and we have seen what happens when you can't score inside or hit threes.
I am optimistic it will be better here, but time will tell. That and recruiting this area are my biggest concerns, but I think it is a great hire, as good as we can probably get, that will be perceived nationally as a home run.

We all come to this board in a certain frame of mind and some days are better than others. That's how I see it (you can call me Sigmund/Siggy).

Expect several more. Just a guess.
