MustangCult Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 This next hire will let everyone know how serious LA wants to be in DII-AA. With BA, Ensworth, and MBA staying strong (especially if Skyy Clark transfers in at BA!) Lipscomb needs to nail this. They did a great job getting Dilfer for the football job and with the new administration we need to see the same commitment to basketball. Here are 3 guys they HAVE to reach out to in my opinion. Pierce (FRA) - great guy who obviously can coach. With connections to the school. Maddux (CPA) - good coach who has shown his ability to be able to get really good players. Sonn (GCS) - this would be my #1. Guy has won everywhere he has been. Hopefully they will not drop the ball on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildcatCrazies Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 What happened to the coach? He hasn’t been there very long. I think Coach Sonn would be a great move here. But would he want to leave Goodpasture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelMyers76 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 He can dominate where he is but would be fighting a gun battle with a cap pistol at Lippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amqc Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Greg Watson a Lipscomb grad. Florida 7A state Champions at Crestview High School. Great Floor Coach. Played for Coach Meyer, and Coach Sanderson. Would be one to contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going in a different direction.... Mantlo wasn’t ready to coach at Lipscomb, they needed to get him out. No way Drew wants to move from CPA to Lipscomb Academy, maybe the university but not Lipscomb Academy. John stays at FRA, do not think he wants to deal with the big boys. Adam would be an interesting fit. He has shown he can win big at the lower level. Would be interesting to see him go against the big boys twice a year. why would Greg want to come back here from Florida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaReAgLe3 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 With everything that is going on, what is the timeline for this hire. Summer will be here before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangCult Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I believe they want to get someone in before summer. I still think there is a possibility for teams to have a summer, whether it be just practicing and workouts or the possibility of some team camps. I know some team camps are still promoting their dates for June and there are a few HS coaches promoting their camps as well. I think the pool of coaches will be small so it will be interesting to see who they bring in to talk with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildcatCrazies Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 It would be very nice to be able to get Coach Sonn back home here at DCA. But I do not think that will ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
