Was thinking the same. The program seems like it's going in the wrong direction.Think we are seeing the beginning of the end for Thad. 2 Freshman transfer out, losing out of big Ohio guys...not looking too hot right now.

Wonder if we could somehow get Gregg Marshall. That would be amazing.
I can't see any possible way Stevens leaves the NBA. He's done too well there and the Celtics have a war chest of assets they are bound to capitalize on soon. Really, they are the Cavs' biggest threats in the future of the East barring superstar movement.If there's ever an opening at OSU, the first call I make it to Brad Stevens and offer to make him the highest paid coach in college basketball.
If he says no, I turn my attention to Marshall and Sean Miller.

I think Thad needs to bring in some fresh faces in as assistants. Boals and Dickerson aren't getting the job done in terms of recruiting or player development. The strength and conditioning has been pretty weak for the last few years as well. Thad can turn it around, but he needs to put his loyalties aside for the betterment of the program.
To my knowledge, Dave Richardson has been the S&C coach for the men's team since 2005, unless he just left in the last few weeks.Pretty sure they just hired a new S&C coach for the basketball team this year...on top of him hiring Paulus and letting him run the offense.

You're absolutely right about Thad's health, though. It's become clear that it's a big hindrance for him at this point. Sad, considering he's not even 50, but he could retire tomorrow and go down and perhaps the most successful coach in program history.
I think people don't give him enough credit either for recruiting good citizens his whole career. Noopy Crater is really the only guy with any sort of publicized personal issues who has passed through since Thad started 12 years ago.
This is fucking unreal...
Wow...could they be leaving because Thad is going to step away...doesn't make sense, both of these guys had big roles as Freshman and it would only get bigger next year...
