Mahoney-Very good recruiter, overmatched coach, seemed like nice guy
Fran- Very good recruiter, decent coach, crazy
Jarvis-Lazy recruiter, despite the fact that he coached the most enjoyable tem in our history-indifferent coach? Bad, obnoxious guy
Norm-Bad recruiter, terrible, boring coach, by all accounts he was Will Rogers
Lavin-Very good recruiter, weak coach morphing into a crazy one, reminds me of a used car salesman
For what it is worth I could care less what kind of guy the coach is and I would prefer a strong X and O guy to a recruiter. The funny thing is I have lower standards than most as far as expectations. Get me 17-20 wins a year a tourney invite every 3 years or so and I would be golden no matter who or what kind of coach we have.
