Villanova just proved that this area produces more than enough talent to compete on a national level. I really wonder how often Coach Chaney speaks to Fran because Coach has been on the radio often recently pretty much saying Temple's problem in the tournament has been the lack of a true PG. How Fran lost Jalen and the aftermath is enough frustration to climb under a rock until changes are made to the program.
I need to know from the insiders on this board whether the hope of Aaron Mckie restoring the program as the next head coach is valid. From my perspective it makes perfect sense and could stimulate energy in this program. The talent in the area is there - we just need a head coach kids want to play for.
So ... can any insiders grade how Aaron how done his first 2 years as an assistant? An NBA assistant coach roll is VERY different than what is expected at the college level. Aaron has made plenty of money in his career and it would be easy for him to spend his days at the golf club rather than chasing after high schoolers. When the position opened up following Brunson's misconduct, I thought they would give Mckie 2 years to test whether he could see himself at this level and if not they could always go back to Brunson (This seems impossible now).
In short - How do those close to the program feel about Aaron Mckie 2 years in? This is a pay board so let's hear the truth. I'm looking for something (anything) for hope.
