What do we think about Dusty may?
- Thread starter benbgky
- Start date
His next stop will probably be Bloomington, IN. Coaching his alma mater.
Yeah that’s what they were saying on Field of 68 today. I’m just not sold on Drew.
Not real hot on Drew either. But, if the whispers are true, Mitch sure is. Drew is a safe, vanilla, yawn kinda hire. Doesn't seem like a great fit at Kentucky, IMO. He's ok, just not Kentucky good.
He averages .600 seasons and has missed tournament every year except his last (a FF)

With Kentuckys resources, he’d probably do better than current Cal. But so would most actual coaches imo
Apparently that was his dream job. But how long will he be willing to wait?
Some other big boy will end snatching up first with an un-refusable offer if IU doesn’t figure out how nudge Woodson along soon.
I don't think Dusty May is our answer. IMO, a pretty weak flavor of the month.
I dont know anything about Dusty May. BUT, he is very good looking and would look good on the sidelines.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Indiana hiring May is such an Indiana move it is hilarious. Yes let’s hiring the FIU guy because of his connections to Knight/IU and his ONE final four. 😂
Keep it in your pants, susan2361!!! 😁
I don’t know if there is any possible way he could do worse. Give May equal talent that we have and it’s not close IMO.
🤣🤣🤣 I'll try to but it's been a while since there was any eye candy on the bench!!🤣🤣🤣
I think anybody we would get would win more than one NCAA tournament game in three years
Dan Hurley
Scott Drew
Matt Painter
Nate Oats
Shaka Smart
Bill Self
All of these guys were basically "unproven" by most standards before landing their first major job. And the list can be much, much longer. They had made tournaments, but hadn't won a title. They had success at mid-majors or low-majors.
Sometimes it's just a gamble, really. Billy was a gamble, didn't work. Pitino was a gamble, worked. Eddie was pretty "proven" and that didn't work well for us.
I mean honestly, Scott Drew is FARRRRR from a homerun hire. That doesn't mean he can't do great things here, but his resume (ouside of the one outstanding season) isn't that much better than what Cal has done here. In fact, pretty similar overall. But again, that doesn't mean he can't do great things in Lexington
This is only his sixth season. You can't make any determination on his coaching ability based on six seasons at a mid major. Through most coaches' first six seasons they look bad because you almost always start at a tiny school.He averages .600 seasons and has missed tournament every year except his last (a FF)

Dusty May: .648 winning percentage, 1 tournament bid, 1 Final Four
Rick Pitino: .655 winning percentage, 1 tournament bid, 0 Final Fours
Bill Self: .561 winning percentage, 1 tournament bid, 0 Final Fours
Jay Wright: .545 winning percentage, 1 tournament bid, 0 Final Fours
I think this is worth emphasizing. It seems like a lot of fans feel like anyone who doesn’t already have multiple Final Fours if not titles isn’t proven enough to be worthy of our job, but that’s probably unrealistic. There’s only a handful of coaches with that resume out there at any given time, and they don’t tend to move around much.
Whenever the time does come to replace Cal, we’re probably going to be looking at promising up and coming coaches more than established legends, and that would fit right in with our past hires to be honest. If anything, Cal was probably the closest to an exception to that rule.
Kentucky good isn’t very good at the moment
Cal sort of spoiled us. He had developed a stellar resume before he came here.
Joe B Hall. Eddie Sutton. Pitino. Tubby. There was some sense of, not gamble, but uncertainty on hiring. We have rarely had a choice of already HOF coaches to choose from. There are few out there and fewer that want to leave their current job
The next guy is most likely going to have weaknesses to pick at in accomplishments. Going to need to look at some things like reputation, career track, recruiting skins, the interview to make hire.
Danny Hurley averages .689 overall and has advanced past the round of 32 once in his career which was last year. He won a title but it was in a year where they, as a 4 seed, was the highest seeded team in the final four. The 3 remaining teams were seeded Fla Atlantic (9), San Diego St (5) and Miami (5). However he seems to be the one that a lot of our fans not named Creed Bratton want. 🤷♂️He averages .600 seasons and has missed tournament every year except his last (a FF)
