New Lipscomb University basketball coach

[vol4u]

I saw where the Lipscomb University coach has steped down as coach to be the AD just wondering if coach Wild might apply since he went to school there?

I'm hearing the two leading candidates are Lipscomb graduates -- Mark Campbell, HC at Union in Jackson and Greg Brown, associate HC at University of Central Florida.

While this is surprise, and the two supposed leading candidates are Lipscomb connections it appears the choices might be made. Lipscomb has had great players in the last number of years but could not tip over to winning teams. With all of the talent around at different places and a great way to get a degree, it should be a great place to get the program going again. After all Frank is an associate director. The game is all about recruiting. Wouldn't doubt others would be interested since this is a NCAA school. The bar hasn't been high lately but it could be.

Who has bigger recruiting budget, Lipscomb or Riverdale?

[PHargis]

This one is going to have to be a big name that can draw. Players on the squad now require an equal to Wild along with someone who can teach, has AAU heavy background. There are a number floating around but only a few on the list mentioned. An issue will be the policy of the District as to how this will be done. Look for previous coach, a previous District 8 Coach or two, A University asst. Coach, numerous small college coaches and at least 2 0r three current 7AAA Coaches whose talent is very heavy. And yes, someone who has local Hooptown connections.

It will be interesting to see which way Riverdale will jump. Randy Frazier, now that would be something, but not happening.

I don't we will see anyone connected to HoopTown. I would say HT has become pretty insignificant in the HS ranks along with AAU. For a HS player spending time chasing an AAU title has become a thing of the past. The real push now is the search for exposure. HT still maintains the AAU connection for the younger players though. Surprised no one has mentioned Hillary Hodges. Tom back to MTSU to fill Burkey spot and Hillary back to Rdale......just a thought.

Read Careful, no pridiction but you might look back at a number of head, asst coaches the school has had as those connections always arise when selections are needed. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior.
