And hey. That looked good for... 9 months? Then he lost the EJ Liddell recruitment while also getting burned out on high-profile recruits by his difficulties with Porter's family. And it tanked as a result.
His proper level is coaching hoops at DIII or something like that, where it is NOT scholarship and his values line up more with the types of student athletes they have.
