I am relieved that Tinks went with experience, and alot of it at that. This guy should be able show Tinks some tricks of the trade and offer great suggestions and advice. I also like the fact they bring up his character being high.
I was impressed with Southern Utah as for their defense, ball movement, and team play. If he can bring all that to the GRIZ, coupled with better talent to work with, this guy is the perfect fit to fill this slot. I am surprised though he did not pursue other head coaching or assistant positions beyond Montana. He sounds more than qualified.
GREAT hire GRIZ!!!!!! :thumb: :beer2:

Great hire. Mostly because this guy knows how to teach players to play lock down defense.
In his tenure at SUU he spent much of the past few years running matchup zone and heavy pressure man defenses. His teams were famous for playing stingy defense. Got to listen to him at a coaches clinic last year at CSI. Can honestly say if he is allowed to work with our defense, we can expect to see some great improvements.
Hopefully Evans brings a defensive edge to this team. He is a smart, smart basketball coach. His reasoning for running his style of traping matchup zone, he could do it with any personell he had.
Nice hire. Really nice hire.

It's about time Tinkle!
I like this hire, and think Evans brings a lot to the program, in terms of experience and recruiting ties. I also like what I hear about his defenses as mentioned above. I just hope he can handle being an assistant and not wanting to run everything, which he has for the last 15 years.. Although I'm sure Tinks knows what he's doing and that Bill knows exactly what his role is with the program.
Time for Mr. Evans to hit the recruiting trail!

That's kind of what I was thinking.. It seems like he sees a talented Montana team that could help build his resume. I think after a year or two being an assistant he will be dying to get back in the HC ranks, also our assitant pay will also get old for him pretty quickly. I think even one year will benefit Tinkle tremendously..
I understand the coaching ladder. He takes this job, because it is a fair shot better than SUU.
I know from conversations with a former coach on his staff, that Evans sort was the type of guy that probably should have been somewhere else. In the sense that he was tallented enough to coach elsewhere but liked teh continuity of SUU.
One year, two years, ten years, I really think this is about as good as choice that the UofM made since rehiring Tinkle as Krysko's assistant.

I have no inside information or anything, so take my post for what it's worth. I think Evans is a great hire. He's had good, long-term success and sounds like a quality individual. He talked excitedly about joining Montana (flagship of BSC), and mentioned how important his family is to him with Missoula being a great fit for his 5 kids. So with all that, I feel it could go either way, with him either looking to have success as a Montana assistant and then land a Div 1 head coaching job---or he could be looking to still have success at Montana and retire there, with it being a great job and great place to live. I am leaning toward the 2nd choice I listed. :thumb:
