DaytonDandy will become famous soon enough
What about Ray Harper

I think he would be a slam dunk and should be first on the list.

From looking at his credentials, if he is the best we can do this board and fan base will implode. What am I missing that makes you think he is such a good choice?

Had to look the guy up. 3 NCAA tourneys at WKU and Jacksonville State. I see UNT is looking at him (they are horrible). Is anyone else?

UD should be considered a top job just outside of the P5, we should be able to get a really good coach.

I follow WKU pretty closely and I don't think he is suited to recruit at the A10 level. It's much easier for a coach who has been at a Major D1 school to get players due to their connections. I think Harper struggled after moving up from D2 some because of that. I do think he is a terrific in game and tournament coach but I think OVC and Conference USA are the max level for him.

I like older people, as I am older, but not sure I want to see UD hire a coach who would turn 60 about the same time his first recruiting class graduates (especially one who is not a proven success on the level we want to UD to be)

He has a staff that can recruit now at Jacksonville State. I agree in game coach you won't find anyone better, his staff at Western Kentucky was a joke.

North Texas hired someone before their tournament run was over. I think he is the man we need

Maybe if we get rejected by as many coaches as Duquense. He doesn't seem like a fit.

Harper would actually be a good fit at Duquesne.

So, you jump on UD Pride and your first three posts are all plugging a coach almost everyone has never heard of before? I'm guessing you are a relative, agent, or Ray Harper himself. Sorry, UD won't hire their next coach based on UD Pride posts. This is a joke.

Never heard of Ray Harper? I really hope that isn't the truth.

In nine seasons as KWC head coach, Harper was 242-45 with 2 national championships and 4 runner up finishes, so in 9 seasons he was in the title game 6 times.

At Oklahoma City College three seasons he was 95-17 with one NAIA runner up and two NAIA national championship titles.

He goes to western ky and takes WKU to the tournament twice in 4.5 years as coach and at Jacksonville state is 1 for 1 inheriting an 8 win team and winning the tournament the next season. It is crazy how good of a coach this guy is . Ray Harper is the man for Dayton.

DaytonDandy I'm originally from Kentucky and know exactly who Ray Harper is but you can't expect everyone on this board to know him. I bet you knew who Happy Osborne was when he was at Georgetown College. I think Ray is a great basketball coach, but I don't think he is the right basketball coach for Dayton. Jax St or North Texas are the level he can be successful at in D1. If you really want a lower level experienced coach UD should hire Scotty Davenport from Bellarmine. He was an assistant for Pitino and would have a better D1 recruiting base.

He has proven he can win a conference tournament in a one bid league. That's it!

If he had won repeated regular season titles I might think differently.

Are we talking about the guy that played for Miami and the Bulls? Maybe he could bring Jordan and Pippen as assistants.

What about Stelio Kantos? I heard that guy's a bully, plus the Greek connection may help with Kostas.

Let me tell you all something then. If you all don't want Ray Harper then I am not sure you are serious about winning. I might just quit posting on here cause I am not sure I want to be associated with guys who not about winning, I like to stack W's and Ray Harper will and does do that.

Ray harper would take his place and make it what you all think it is right now, right now Dayton is a program where fans have little man syndrome, never will be Ohio state, Cincinnati but you think you are, couldn't carry Xavier's jock strap. dayton is considered a buy in the first round, ray harper would have this place jumping and in a final four by 2025. So if u all don't want ray harper then that is your choice I hope the powers making hire do.

I agree that Ray Harper seems like a very good coach. I do not know much about how recruiting works.

Ray Harper has never won more than 20 games in a season at a D1 school. Not worthy of consideration.

And if he is so great why hasn't someone else snatched him up. He went from Western Kentucky to Jacksonville State?

Edit: And I understand he resigned from Western Kentucky. Maybe DaytonDandy could tell us why.

I am baffled why IU chose Archie when Ray Harper was available. Just baffled.

DaytonDandy will become famous soon enough
Harper was close to getting the Oklahoma State job he wasn't a candidate at Indiana I don't think.

He pretty much had Oklahoma Dtate but they hired the other guy cause the recruits.

Ray harper would take his place and make it what you all think it is right now, right now Dayton is a program where fans have little man syndrome, never will be Ohio state, Cincinnati but you think you are, couldn't carry Xavier's jock strap. dayton is considered a buy in the first round, ray harper would have this place jumping and in a final four by 2025. So if u all don't want ray harper then that is your choice I hope the powers making hire do.

As soon as Harper is not selected as the HC, the Dandy one will be gone and we can get back to normal.

Don't worry. Your record is one that will never be broken. (Although the poster who was trashing Cooke in every thread took a good run at it.)

Rumor or fact: "What are your thoughts on a 15/15 schedule?" is the second question UD asked Ray Harper yesterday afternoon when they called him?

I got to work and was talking to my boss about UD's situation. I mentioned they should hire Ray Harper.

I just got an email that I'm scheduled for a random drug test a noon.

At Oklahoma City College three seasons he was 95-17 with one NAIA runner up and two NAIA national championship titles.

He goes to western ky and takes WKU to the tournament twice in 4.5 years as coach and at Jacksonville state is 1 for 1 inheriting an 8 win team and winning the tournament the next season. It is crazy how good of a coach this guy is . Ray Harper is the man for Dayton.

FYI you always leave out that he is only 110-77 at the DI level. Not good enough to be a coach at Dayton.

Harper sounds ideal for the job. I think he used to play jazz piano in Pittsburgh or was a private eye in New Orleans looked a little like paul newman. In any case he should have an eye for talent.

Ray Harper is probably better than what most people on here realize. Having said that, it would be a ludicrous hire.

Ray Harper is an outstanding bench coach. He really is. But, I also think he's closer to retirement than he is to anything else. He was a successful head coach at Kentucky Wesleyan, and left there to be an assistant at Western Kentucky. It was my understanding that he had no ambitions of wanting to be a div1 head coach, but rather wanted something that would keep him involved in the game, but not as the top man with the top pressure that came along with it. He became the interim head coach when WKU fired McDonald in the middle of the season, and then they kept him on as head coach until he retired. After retiring, he missed it, and wanted back in. He's doing well at Jacksonville State. He's a good coach.

But, for Dayton to hire a guy that's already retired once and that always seems to be teetering with calling it a day would not be a good move. He's not all in. In fact the only reason he's still in coaching almost seems to be due to circumstance rather than his own choosing. I think his next move is to accept an assistant coaching position, or some sort of advisory role where he can still be around the game, but not have to deal with the pressure. And, he'd be good in that role. I'm not meaning this as a putdown to him at all. He's good. I like him. His greatest coaching moment was perhaps the big shouting match he got in to with Rick Pitino during a Louisville v WKU game, and it was kind of funny that they ended up playing each other in the NCAA tournament this year. But, he's not who you want as your head coach. I seriously doubt he'd even be interested in the position.

Congrats Dayton Dandy, you have reached Troll level Expert. Its a compliment. The mission of a troll is to hook people and you literally hooked dozens. Even me.

Well done. Now go away.

I agree with your statement that Harper is a great bench/game coach, but some of your details about Harper's career are inaccurate. I also agree that he should not be UD's next coach.

Harper left KWU and went to Oklahoma City(NAIA) and then went to WKU to be an assistant. As you stated he became the head coach at WKU when McDonald was fired mid-season in 2012. He left WKU after the 15-16 season when he either resigned or got fired due to 3 players being suspended from the team by a Title IX situation and constant roster turnover. He absolutely didn't retire. He got the Jacksonville St (OVC) job shortly thereafter and led them to the NCAA tournament this year. He has been mentioned a candidate for both the North Texas and Oklahoma St. jobs this offseason, but maybe DaytonDandy was running his campaign for those jobs too.

I don't think the UL/WKU shouting match with Pitino was his greatest coaching moment though. It was when he led the awful 2011-12 WKU team(11-18 regular season) to 4 wins in 4 days at the Sun Belt tournament and then won a first four game in UD Arena. I guess one positive is that he is undefeated at UD Arena.

I guess one positive is that he is undefeated at UD Arena.
I'm more familiar with some programs than others, and I think I have a pretty good idea of how this played out. WKU did not know he was going to resign, nor did they want him to resign (at least those within the department didn't want him to). He was not forced out. I think Todd Stewart (WKU's AD) was actually kind of surprised. At the time he just felt like he'd had enough. The situation with the three players probably didn't help things. I think there were a few other things that were grinding him down as well. There were basically two camps within WKU, those that liked him and those that didn't, and I think those that didn't kind of drained him. I don't think he intended to get back into coaching after he left. This happens a lot. People think they want out, and then once they're out they want back in. Apparently he was asked about it when he interviewed at Jax State and his answer was that he just got tired of sitting at home.

To be fair, I was kidding (mostly) about the shouting match with Pitino being his greatest coaching moment. It was merely the moment that was my personal favorite.

The people we know must have been in the two different camps regarding Harper so each of us got a little bit of a different story.

What I really want to know is who is Stansbury's bag man that got next year's WKU recruiting class.

When tOSU football hired some schmuck head coach from D1AA Youngstown State, Buckeye Nation exploded...how could they pass on one of their own...Glen Mason who was coaching at UMinnesota and had, reportedly, packed his bags. Or Chris Spielman, who had already put together his coaching staff in anticipation of an interview?

Stranger things have happened...

I can't answer that, but am wondering the same thing.

I suppose you also know that the guy Cleveland State just hired REALLLY wanted the WKU job when it came open, but that they didn't even really consider him. Perhaps he was lacking a bag man as good as Stansbury's.

Actually, I'm not gonna play this game. Dennis Felton had been at WKU before, and had done very well. That's who I was talking about. C-time probably knew that, but he may have been the only one.

I knew Felton wanted the job, but I just didn't see them rehiring a former coach unless he could have brought a healthy version of Chris Marcus back with him.

How about no bag man? He has a pretty good resume. Mississippi State never should have fired him.

Wait a second, Rick Stansbury? Rick Stansbury! I'd hire Rick Stansbury in a nano-second. I completely forgot about that guy. It's scary to think how good he would be at a place like UD. Guy is 57 years old, but I think he's got another decade in him. Where do I sign up? Give me Crean or give me Stansbury!

He does have a good resume and Miss St. should have never fired him. It's just always been a running joke that he had to have a bag man to get all the good players he got to come to Starkville. Next year at WKU he has a 5 star 7 foot center McDonald's All American center, a four star wing, and a few transfers who will be eligible next year. He may just be a great recruiter, but people always question it because of where he gets players to come play for him.

He is currently at WKU and won't leave the recruits I described above. Plus he is originally from Kentucky which is part of the reason he took the WKU job.

Stansbury hired former UNC player Shammod Williams who is their five star center's godfather as an assistant

Exactly. Kid was recruited by Stansbury and committed to Texas AM when he was an assistant there. When he got the WKU job he hired to Shammond to help get the kid. That is called smart hiring. Shammond had been an assistant at Tulane for the 3 years since he stopped playing.

So he can bring the really good ones with him. Problem solved!

Kudos to him for the initiative. Smart hiring indeed! Bring Shammod. I know the insufferable LaVar Ball has got a few more boys if Rick wants to put him on staff...

Yeah, Dayton can have a limo that will take him across the Ohio River into Kentucky in less than an hour whenever he darn well pleases. We're not exactly talking about prying a Kentucky boy away from UK or Louisville, here. We're talking about Western Kentucky! You really think he would say no?

I think he would say no. Between the freshmen recruits(I left out that Kentucky's Mr. Basketball is going there too) and at least 3 transfers who will be eligible next year I think WKU may better than Dayton. It would be too hard to get all of those kids to UD to play for him. He even managed to get WKU into the Battle 4 Atlantis which usually doesn't have lower level teams in it. His name was mentioned very early on for the LSU job but he came out very strongly in a press conference that he had no interest in going anywhere.

In all honesty, i may prefer Ray Harper over John Groce, Anthony Grant,Ron Hunter etc. Not sure the assistants are ready either. Full court press for Tom Crean in my opinion. Of course it could always be totally out of left field somebody that didn't even get bantered about.

I gotta say, I'm getting restless. Im checking my Twitter more then i care to admit.

Sullivan and Spina are too smart to hire based on keeping recruits, unfortunately most if not all are gone. Kiss McKinley Wright goodbye, I've come to terms with it. At this point if we come out of this with Svoboda,Kostas,Xeyrius and Josh ill be happy. i can see Kostas going overseas though as well as Svoboda. Still n to sure how Archie nabbed them, they're gonna be good.

And for god sakes stop hitting these guys up on Twitter, they are 18 years old. Its unreal the people that are tweeting them. Let them make their choices can we really blame them if they bail? They are the ones that lose the most in this ordeal.

Go Flyers!!

Dayton Dandy has to be on the UDPride list of great one-and-dones. He signed up right after Archie left to tout himse.... err, Ray Harper as the next UD coach, and hasn't been heard from since.

I gotta say, I'm getting restless. Im checking my Twitter more then i care to admit.

Sullivan and Spina are too smart to hire based on keeping recruits, unfortunately most if not all are gone. Kiss McKinley Wright goodbye, I've come to terms with it. At this point if we come out of this with Svoboda,Kostas,Xeyrius and Josh ill be happy. i can see Kostas going overseas though as well as Svoboda. Still n to sure how Archie nabbed them, they're gonna be good.



Go Flyers!!
Most prescient post of all time

He's in Town!!!!

Well, I THINK he's in town.

I thought I saw him on Steward and Brown this afternoon!

Well It coulda been him. I thought I recognized him ....

He was wearing a mask ....

Maybe not .......

I coulda been wrong ... sure looked like him though!

Except for that mask .... I'm almost positive it was him!

Can't wait for a new season .....................................
