Dayton hires Anthony Grant

Figured he'd pop back up before long.

Very good coach, took his lumps at bama but that's a tough road for most. Probably should have stayed at VCU and ridden that mid major gravy train.

Really good hire by Dayton from a resume, experience, and name recognition standpoint. I think he will do well there and be a perennial tourney coach that can advance a game or two.

Yeah, they should have hired Clappy instead. SMDH!
Yeah, way to put words in my mouth. How you could have reached the conclusion that I would prefer Crean is beyond me. I just actually live in Dayton and follow the Flyers and Raiders, so I have an opinion on the matter. That alright with you bud?

I think the Flyers would have been better served with an up and comer like Archie was. Not someone who has had their shot as a P5 head coach and failed.
 
Good hire. He'll do well. Deserves another shot. Alabama is a tough place to succeed in hoops.

But he didn't fail at VCU. He couldn't recruit well enough at Bama but he is a good coach.

I agree he's a decent coach, but his best year at VCU was his first. A team where he got to take over Jeff Capel's talent.

Next year is going to be a major rebuilding season for Dayton and I just don't have a whole lot of confidence in Grant's program building ability.

WTH has Capel done besides send dook into a tail-spin or his 1 year at OK? Give the man a chance or maybe you should stop watching. I really could give less than a damn what happens at Dayton!

Capel could recruit like hell (turns out he was cheating). Thats what.

You sure seem to care, since you're the one getting angry apparently over someone who had a different opinion on a basketball team than you. I never even addressed you and you've made two hostile comments towards me. Get a freaking grip.
 
The only one catching feelings here is you snowflake. No one else around here is riled up.

Move along now, grown ups are trying to talk basketball.

I wish nothing but good things for Grant but must say that you seem to be a common OH prick that is never satisfied!

Well Dayton will not score. That much we know.

What happened to the SEC being so easy Anthony Grant could do it?
 
he can win 17-19 games, and make the NCAAs every 2-3 years---that's all they can expectc

I never bashed anyone you ignoramus. I said I wasn't a fan of the hire. Is Anthony Grant your boyfriend or something? You have issues, probably why you never made out it out of Thousandsticks, KY.
