MBBALL Wayne Tinkle

We heard a rumor that Pepperdine might be a spot he lands.

And hire Tres as an assistant to get him started in coaching.

The last three posts are the proof of why I said what I did about coaching at three ridiculous places as opposed to being an assistant at Gonzaga. At one point, someone said I was all wound up over this, but the truth is, the last 3 posts, well after I made my comments, are wound up over something.
The burden of proof is on showing that he will take a position and HHB taps out and say he never said that it would happen.
I'm saying that it is unrealistic for a 60 year old man who has been a head coach for 20 years to suddenly want to desire to be an assistant. There is nothing out there indicating that this is in the works, but you have Tinkle and Few booed up in a corner, so continue to fantasize and I stand by what I said. I don't see it happening.

So, your reasoning for why it wouldn’t happen is, indeed, that an assistant job at a top 10 program would be beneath him because he’s been a HC at Montana and Oregon State. Is that correct?

Some may agree with that philosophy..Many others n the coaching world see that differently.

Some have heard that is what happened with LG when Jos got hired. Tinkle calls Haslam and says Holsinger is the guy, but tells Holsinger you hire my daughter as asst if you get the job. Who was last to be hired on Holsingers staff?

These are things we have heard in the coaching circle.

Breaking news.....if Wayne became the head coach at Pepperdine he'd have full authority to assemble his coaching staff! Tres would appear a possible candidate for plenty of assistant coaching jobs on his own.

So you're essentially saying Haslam let Oregon State's head men's basketball coach hire Holsinger to coach women at Montana so his daughter could get a relatively low level assistant job she could easily get on her own?

If so, that's a real bad look for Haslam or a very odd take by your "coaching circle"..

The job was first offered to the other assistant from Oregon (or wherever he was), but his wife wouldn't move to Missoula. So the job was offered later to Holsinger. This doesn't match up with what you posted.

Gotta agree with Hoops. I heard the same.

It was offered to Mark Campbell. He turned it down and went to Sac St instead. Now the head coach at TCU.

I agree. Surprised you don't know more about "the other assistant" who just took TCU to its second Elite Eight in a row.

With all your influence, power and hoops knowledge I was surprised to hear you also pushed hard for the Holsinger hire.

I meant those very sarcastically. As I said from the start, I don't see how a nice exchange from one really good guy to another turns into rumors about an alliance. I just don't buy any of that and nothing out there indicates it will happen.
I doubt that there are many out there that would have stayed and coached Oregon State to the end, which shows the kind of guy Wayne is. That was for the kids I am sure, so it's different than a commitment to just the employer.

Talked to Tinks today for an hour. You remain wrong.
