A former NBA player as an assistant coach, recruits obviously want to play in the NBA, what better way to recruit by having one on our staff. A lot of these university's already have one, it's time we have one as well.

And can you suggest a way to do that? I mean we can't even pay Fish what he is worth. Tough to be a $10 mill program on a $1.39 budget.

Fisher is getting million a year on his new contract, I think that's fair. Stacy Augmon is getting paid at around $200,000 a year at UNLV, I think SDSU can afford to pay that to an assistant coach. SDSU can't be behind the times if they want to stay competitive.

Duke has no former NBA players on their coaching staff. Wisconsin has none. Kentucky has none. Michigan state has none. UNLV has one though! Do you want us to be more like UNLV, or the teams in this year's final Four?

I'll give you three of those schools but your wrong about Kentucky. Kentucky has Kenny Payne, who was drafted as the 19th pick by the 76ers. He played in the NBA for 4yrs with them. So I think that qualifies as a former NBA player as an assistant. So let's just say you were almost right.

Best of luck.

Talk to Fisher, if he hires one then you can pay him. Does this count? You know Fisher was an assistant coach for a year with the Sacramento Kings before he came here.

I'm sure those Kentucky recruits all THOROUGHLY know all about Kenny Paynes' stellar NBA career and went there because of it.

And I bet you anything that the recruits committing to Kentucky have no idea that Kenny Payne even played in the NBA. I highly doubt it is part of any recruiting pitch. It means nothing Him having 4 years of the NBA under his belt isn't why he is on that staff, and isn't why Kentucky is getting the recruits they are getting.

Lets just put Michael Cage on staff, secure his son and have him work with Sky and Chol on the offensive side of the ball.

Kentucky are getting those recruits because there Kentucky, but we're not, so we got to get as much advantage as we can, and believe me that we'll help. And I never said they have to be hall of famers, but it'll help if they actually played in the NBA. Let's not forget that were talking about high school kids here and not grown men, so they'll look up to somebody who actually played in the NBA.

Believe Fisher likes to hire coaches he knows and feels can be part of the" coaching family" at SDSU . Look at Alvarez , Bland, Shelton , would guess JJ , soon . Also think there are rules that a coach must have some kind of degree , not positive . They worked with T. Bland to get him on the staff . Even more important then NBA player is AAU connected , so you can recruit through the country . Bland has those connections , but not NBA, plus as we saw Money - . What some programs do is hire an assistant with a son who is going to be going to college soon . . If not are you suggesting they have M. Thomas start training to become an assistant .Or find out what M . Cage's plans are going forward .
You are correct some schools are able to recruit by getting coaches that special in that area but believe it is the AAU connections that do it more then NBA , but NBA does not hurt on your resume .

Than I will give you Mark Hughes...Detroit Piston in 1990/91 and NCAA Champ under Coach Fisher. Great guy. Was here for two years with Slaughter I believe. I think he took an NBA job a year earlier than the time commitment he promised Coach Fisher. How's that?

And can you suggest a way to do that? I mean we can't even pay Fish what he is worth. Tough to be a $10 mill program on a $1.39 budget. Exactly right. Of course we could trim one of our current coaches and replace him with the NBA talent. But then are you deducting from coaching talent, only to replace him with a promotional chess piece?

I get the idea that having an NBA name could maybe sway some talent to come here; but just because you were good at playing basketball doesnt mean you can instruct others to do so. There is far more to coaching than just knowing how to draw up a play, or yelling at someone to do something that easily came to you. I'm sure there are very good coaches out there with NBA experience, but simply taking someone because they were in the NBA would be wrong. And for those that are good coaches who have NBA expereince what makes us so sure they want to come here?

Our offense looks like they're 5 guys playing rec ball out there.
