I'm just not sold on AG, yes he has UD ties but just isn't a wow factor and other than his first stint at VCU he was pretty much a meh factor.

Crean would be interesting in that he could do better at UD than AM will do at IU.

Kuwik knows the players, recruits system and landscape at UD as well as the footprint of the A-10
JOB was the head coach at Wheeling Jesuit (WVa), and pretty successful. His father-in-law was the late-great Dr. Jack Ramsey. And no, JOB didn't beat X in the MVC with OP's players, considering he preceded OP.

JOB's inability to put it all together at Dayton was extremely unfortunate, setting the program back a solid 5+ years. It's kind of a head scratcher too, since there are many that suggested we got great recruits then and won most of the top local recruiting battles. Not to be lost in all of that timeframe was the drastic landscape change of conference affiliation and re-alignment. Most of the dirty hands on that fell on the athletic administration at the time, not getting on board with or being relatively oblivious to what was happening. That combined with 2 seasons of abysmal on court performances, and we ended up with the "dark ages" of UD hoops.

But, Jim was as first class as they came, but ultimately a hire that didn't work out.
