Title: ASU Fires Herb Sendek
Post by: Mike P in Tucson on March 24, 2015, 12:11:53 pm

WTF is wrong with that new, hot shot AD?  First, he gives Herb an extension, only last September, just before the basketball season.  ASU was picked to finish 9th in the PAC-12 after losing their top 3 scorers from last year.  So, what happens?  Herb manages to get ASU to 5th place in the conference and takes the team to the NIT.  Now that bonehead AD fires him?  For what, overachieving?

Stick an ASU spork in him Mike, he's done. While getting to the second round of the NIT, I figured they actually overachieved.

Btw....I just heard that ASU has already been mathematically eliminated from next year's NCAA Tournament. Damn.... >:D

Here is the issue. You are ASU. The facilities are bad, fundraising virtually non-existent, and you have no players. There is no history and no tradition with basketball, and it's not a priority nor will it be. You're in a state where you cannot out-recruit Arizona.You're going to get a second tier coach. You can't afford Pastner, and ASU  is step down from Memphis. You're going to get a retread coach who wants another shot or an assistant who wants his head coaching shot. Certainly not to say there are not people out there who can't build that program into something good, but it's certainly an uphill battle. It's not an attractive job and it's probably not going to pay very well compared to other large D-1 schools.

Post by: Mark on March 25, 2015, 10:09:14 am
Just the response I expected. :D First of all, ASU is the biggest university in America.  >:D We can afford anyone. ;D There are some people here with very deep pockets who bought out Sendek's contract and are leaning on our new, very powerful AD to pull out all stops and do what it takes to make ASU a premier program, much like what is happening with football. That includes building a new arena from the ground up. USA Place, home to USA Basketball, is planned for the heart of Tempe. That would be a good start to lure visiting impressionable ballers to become Sun Devils. Time will tell. Looking forward to see what happens. It is pretty sad that the Devils' biggest accomplishment this year was costing UA their #1 seed. But we'll take our joy any way we can get it! ;)

Post by: AZWildcat on March 25, 2015, 04:09:50 pm
I have to admit, that was pretty funny. All the stops? Please, have you been in your arena lately? It needs updating, and I'm being kind.. I noticed how you claim to be the biggest University, but you never claimed to be the best. Reminds me of Walmart. As for the football program, yeah nice job in that unknown bowl. If I remember you really handed it to some Ivy League school. I really do think it could be a great program, nobody there just seems to know how to hire. If they cough up big money, then it might actually happen. ...but $$ talks....bs walks.

Per ESPN, Capel has been offered the job. If you can land him, that's a home run. He's a re-tread, however I think he's the best possible option. That job comes with a tremendous amount of challenges, but the upside is huge. The program is a dumpster fire, patience will be a must. No matter who the coach is.

Post by: Mark on March 25, 2015, 05:22:35 pm
Good to hear. I have no opinion about any of the candidates, but they need someone who can recruit and show some passion. I admit that Sendek was borderline comatose, especially in comparison to the energy of Miller. Unlike the number of players on a football team, a handful of the right b-ball recruits can go a long way to getting a program heading in the right direction. They say that this coming year's freshmen from around the state are especially good. Interesting to see where they land. Its nice if they stay in-state, but it won't be at ASU until we get the coaching situation settled. The arena is another issue. Sun Devil Stadium is being completely renovated for football. Nice if they do the same for basketball.

Here is a dark horse pick for the job. Jack Murphy out of Northern Arizona University. Great recruiter, coaching ties to both Arizona and Memphis, and contacts in the pros having worked for the Denver Nuggets. He has turned around a complete disaster in Flagstaff. This kid can flat out coach and recruit. I don't think he's big time enough, but maybe he will get a look at by ASU.

Mebbe the math in too tough for a Wildcat to fathom, but being the biggest school in America, not just Arizona, also means we most likely likely have the most left-handers, skate boarders and big-boobed blondes, too.  ??? And while you are LYAO, ponder this:

The Wall Street Journal ranked ASU as #1 in AZ and #5 in the nation for producing the best-qualified graduates.
ASU is #3 in the nation for Fulbright Scholars.
U.S. News & World Report ranks ASU as the #2 most innovative school in the country and one of the best graduate schools in the U.S.
The Economist chose The W. P. Carey School of Business as one of best full-time MBA programs in the world.
U.S. News & World Report ranked ASU's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law ranks #26 nationwide among public and private law schools, 16 spots head of UA.

UA on the other hand leads in tall freshmen who go to school for one year. (And let's not forget those hot dogs with mayonnaise on them.) :-[ >:D

US News and World Report (considered to be the standard of Univ rankings) lists UA as 121 overall and ASU 129 overall. Neither exactly impressive, but enough said. You can keep your mini stats and sub par athletic program, the rest doesn't matter.

Interesting. He was one of the guys mentioned in the paper. Funny thing is that John Gambodoro- one of the best known sportstalk guys on Phoenix radio is a big St. John's fan and he doesn't like him for some reason. Dan Bickley- the top sports columnist in town wrote a big article on how Josh Pastner is the right man for the job. Interestingly, several candidates have UA ties: Archie Miller- Sean's bro, Joe Pasternack, and Pastner. Another is that Lord Voldemort-looking coach from Xavier. It would actually make a fun in-state story to have the Miller Bros. coaching against each other.

Archie Miller signed an extention yesterday,  so he's locked up. Pastner has a good gig making more money than Sean Miller, so unless he is fired he isn't going anywhere.  He bleeds UA, so I don't think w his options he'd pick ASU anyway. It's hard NOT to find UA ties in a coach. They have produced a lot of coaches with good pedigree.  I still think it should be Capel, but he's not biting on the job. Maybe he's waiting until after the tourney.

Post by: Mike P in Tucson on April 01, 2015, 02:01:35 pm
I don't see any coaches with ties to Miller / UA taking the ASU job.  Archie was NEVER going to do it, and I don't think any of the others mentioned would want it or would want to go up against Sean Miller in recruiting.

I think Lavin would be able to do the best job in recruiting to ASU and I think he should get the job.

Capel, I think, will be the one ASU hires.  Good luck with that.  Nine years as a head coach, with 3 NCAA appearances ( one elite 8 ).  Overall record of 175-110 (averaging 19-12 ) isn't that impressive.  A little bit better than Herb (155-133 at ASU, with 2 NCAAs and 4 NITs)  Sean Miller is 163-52 at UA and 283-99 overall.

Pastner is a no-go.  He may only have one more year at Memphis before he gets fired, but he is definitely looking to go to a better program than ASU.

Well, since there appears to be no new info floating around (other than Pastner MAY be considering ASU  :D :D :D), I have to believe that Capel will be the one and they are just waiting until Duke's season is over before saying anything.  I think that hire will be a good one for all of the other coaches in the PAC-12.  He may actually do a bit better than Herb, but ASU fans shouldn't hold their breath.

"Capel hire wouldn't intimidate Pac-12 coaches

Over the next 48 to 72 hours, Arizona State is likely to announce the hiring of Duke assistant Jeff Capel as its new basketball coach. That would be OK. No sitting coach in the Pac-12 would look on in fear. Capel is only 40 and has been a head coach for nine seasons (at VCU and Oklahoma).

I'm glad to see that possible hire. I just think ASU could do soooo much better.  He's a solid coach, but the ranks are thin.  He's prob one of the best avail, just a retread. Danger Will Robinson, it could get uglier if the rumors are right.

BTW,  word is that Capel has removed himself from consideration for the ASsU job.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:  If true, your AD wasted a lot of search time waiting until Dook's season was over.  I guess Capel doesn't want to get near that dumpster fire that is ASsU basketball.

That is hilarious. That job is so unattractive, that an assistance and formerly fired head coach doesn't even want it. That is sad. ASU decided not to spend the money to hire an agency to vet the candidates. They figured they could do it all themselves and save some cash. Now doesn't that look stupid.

So hard to believe, being that ASU is the biggest University in the country. That just doesn't make sense.  ???

He really WAS a poor choice.  And, yes, it IS a debilitating loss when even the poor choice turns you down.  I still think Lavin would be a good choice.  But a couple of the other names I am hearing are even worse than Capel.

Oh, and don't you think ASU would LOVE to be able to get players who are good enough for the NBA after one year!  BTW, Stanley Johnson is the only one-and-done on this year's PAC-12 Championship team.

From what I've heard, Lavin is actively lobbying for it. ASU has been tight-lipped. Everything else has been speculation with the media looking to be first on the story.

Oh well. At least we have our pro team to cheer for. What could possibly go wrong? 8)

It's an uphill battle. Saying it's a challenging job would be an understatement. Having reached the Sweet 16 once in the last 40 years doesn't exactly inspire greatness. For that team to even get to the NIT this year shows there is talent. It's gonna take money...does ASU even have the cash? Much less willing to break open the coin purse? ASU is twice the size of UA, yet pays both  their football and basketball coaches less.  How's that working for ya now?

I would figure Arizona to be in the 12-15 range, based on what we know now (Hollis-Jefferson, Ashley, and Stanly Johnson leaving early and TJ graduating).  Maybe a bit higher if Kaleb "can't-spell-his-last-name" stays.  Also depends on who else Miller can get.  A couple of guys who sat out last year (Kadeem Allen and Ryan Anderson) could make a huge difference.

I think TJ McConnell will get a GA job.  He has a very high basketball IQ and would be a great teacher for point guards.

A rock would be an emotional upgrade from Herb.  Hurley is definitely a big risk, may pan out, may get panned.  Hardly has a proven record, with only 2 years as HC.  Does anyone even know if he can recruit?  He did a good job with the players he inherited at Buffalo.

Just checked Buffalo basketball.  Five out of 6 Freshmen and Sophomores (the only players he could have recruited) on the team are guards.  He will have problems if he can only recruit guards.

In other news, Kaleb Tarczewski is reported as returning for his senior season.  That certainly solidifies Arizona's front line.  One more good addition (JC or graduate transfer) and We could be a top 10 team again next year.  We should start the year out of the top 10, after being ranked in the top 10 all this season), but could climb.  Will be interesting to see what happens after losing 4 starters.

Dan, I think Crow and Anderson screwed up big time with this hire.  They were clearly getting desperate.  Time will tell, for sure.  But I did see a funny stat:  Sendek has the second best record at ASU since Ned Wulk, second only to Bill Frieder.  Where will Hurley rank after 9 seasons?  That is, if he lasts 9 seasons.

Frieder, 114-98

Only time will tell. Maybe the budget was small for a coach. I can't imagine he demanded big money after a search firm Depaul hired recommend they pass on him for their HC.

Maybe he will be a pleasant surprise for you guys. There is no reason that it can't be a better job or a top program. I think being satisfied having a losing program is an institutional issue at ASU. That will probably be the biggest Hurley...err...hurdle.
