Fresno State hired Vance Walberg as the MBB HC. What a joke. They are so unserious about basketball. Hasn’t coached college in 16 years and was awful at that stop. |

2024-present Fresno State As the King of the Valley I surprised more college programs weren't after him then. His "Fresno" success has been at the HS & JuCo level, but has coached in the NBA, hired by his friend George Karl. He has been a fixture for Fresno Area Basketball for over 30 years. |

He has been a fixture for Fresno Area Basketball for over 30 years. Sports Illustrated calls Vance Walberg "the Master" of the Dribble Drive Offense and one of the top innovators in the game of basketball today. His offensive scheme was been adopted by John Calipari, Larry Brown, Lawrence Frank, and hundreds of coaches of all levels all over the world From his book Mastering the Dribble Drive Attack Offense: "Based on a unique two point guard (attackers) set, this attack is complemented by two wings and a rim-running post player. The offense features two unconventional ideas: there are no screens and the post player runs to the weak side of the floor. Both features create more space for dribble penetration. Walberg breaks down each player's movement on the floor according to ball penetration. As players react to penetration they move into drag, drop, and rack zones. The goal is to create spacing and gaps and to get to the rack. Walberg also teaches middle and baseline penetration and the kick-back option that can produce open 3-point shots or open drives to the basket. " |

Seems like they just went after the easy hire rather than the good hire to move the program forward. He's celebrated as a local legend in the Fresno area and recognized nationally for his innovative offensive strategies. However, the salary for the position is $595,000 per year, which marks the lowest head coaching salary in the Mountain West Conference (MWC). The better coaches in the MW make 2x to 3x more than Fresno State. Fresno isn't able to afford a million-dollar coach, and one of Hut's beef with the Fresno State AD was over the lack of resources for the program. |

I feel like they could find an up and coming assistant at this pay level rather than a guy on his last job before retirement. |
