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!

Yeah, what happened to Mantlo? 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?

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.

    • Agree. The man literally sacrificed time, moments, memories you can't get back with his own family for every single athlete at that school. (and many others) To those that continue to be negative about him and continue to bring him up; He's been loyal, hardworking and just his entire coaching career. Ask anyone that actually has a leg to stand on in regard to Coach.
    • Egotistical? That's a new one.  It's funny, I'm friends with two of the younger coaches that he "ran off" as you say. In fact, he helped them find jobs, encouraged them to do what was best for their growing families, provided advice, support and still does to this day.

    • Track has always been big at OR. Ran off about 7 straight titles in the 60s. Your hate for Gaddis runs deep, huh? What did he ever do to you, to make you disdain him that much? You can’t seem to stop talking about the guy. He’s living rent free in your head. Might wanna get that checked out. Not good to go to the grave with that in your heart.
    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
