Seton Hall has a very strong chance of landing Kyle Anderson. It would not be a stretch at this point to say they could be the leader.
He is born & bred NJ and would have no problem staying home. If you know the kid and have followed him you understand how close he is with his Father. I think it will come down to SH & SJU.
**Also, Willard's top guy has been with him at every stop of the way and to say he has a "MAAC" resume is just not correct. Willard comes from Pitino's tree, as does his top assistant, so I would not exactly say they have a MAAC resume because of a couple of years at IONA.
I did not say that Rohrssen would take the job, I said many of their fans were hoping SHU would go after him. Please read the post.
And Shaheen Holloway is his top assistant and he was a former DOBO at SHU under Gonzo and then went to Iona to be an assistant. He has no connections to Pitino. McHale was a video coordinator for Pitino. McHale, Shaheen and Sauers were all at Iona with Willard. Not one of them had been a major assistant prior to that.
Willard has been with Pitino since he was with the Celtics and then Louisville. Hardly every step of the way.
And Norm was with Bill Self EVERY step of the way. So does that make Norm a Big 12 hire rather then a major assistant hire? And Norm tried to hire Slice upon being hired at SJU.
A strong staff is important.
I am not suggesting he won't make a good coach, he may. But his staff is one of the weakest in the BE. Anyone who sees this staff knows that. But part of it is not his fault since they simply don't have the resources or connections to draw better staff members.
