nothing against this Coach, and it would be the same with Hutson, a Coach with this amount of accolades and experience, they are looking for the next rung up the ladder, and in short order. we need someone who stick around and possibly still be around when Coach V takes over from Dutcher. JMO . Wait a second. Who says "Coach V" is EVER taking over for Dutcher? Maybe I missed something? I don’t think Dave would’ve stuck around if that wasn’t the plan… |

at the present think Dutcher might be looking for an additional assistant coach and possibly another player from the Portal not figuring out who is going to replace him when he retires

It appears he’s starting to follow a lot of Euro basketball accounts and players. I wonder if this will be a new direction to offset the lack of NIL dollars. Interesting!!! Pat Douglass was Justin Hudson head coach when he was playing at Cal State Bakersfield. |

The next HC will be interviewing for the job. We are doing what we did with out football program and not the baseball program. If Dave wants the job he needs to get better on the offensive side of the ball and do a better job on scouting his assigned game. |

Scout comment made me laugh so thanks for that. If 3rd in line coach acker just got a big west HC job what kind of offers do you think Dave’s turning down? |

The plan is definitely for Dave to be the successor, that doesn’t necessarily mean Dave will stay if a decent HC oppurtunity opens up before dutcher does step away. But it is definitely what SDSU wants. Comparing the basketball situation to the football one is laughable and not worthy of a response.

Dave V has been the Defensive Coach for countless years. It has been Acker who was running the Offense. If you ever had the opportunity to watch the team in a shoot around before the crowd came in for the home games, Acker was the only coach out there with the shooters. I saw way too many three pointers always shot, but that’s the game now days except for a few schools. |

Surprised people aren’t excited about a guy who was named one of the top mid major assistant coaches in all of basketball and is considered ready for a head coaching job. I guess they were expecting us to take the top assistant at Alabama, UCLA, etc.

could an offensive coach helped most the guys last season - when they got numerous opportunities to hit open threes and guys simply could not make their shots - does the coach get credit for Ledee's improvement or is it the same - he worked hard and often to improve his shooting . Ledee was not known as as a decent outside shooter but he worked on it

Acker was in charge of day-in/day-out development, which is why you'd see him out there when guys were warming up or working with players individually. That probably gave him say in the overall offense based off what he has guys working on and what he sees in workouts. Just like baseball you could have the best hitting coach in the world, it's up to the guy to make contact. There are shooting coaches but that could be not worth the money to hire or not worth a seat as an assistant.

I saw way too many three pointers always shot, but that’s the game now days except for a few schools. Ive watched the team since 1999. I have no hate against him. Ive attended all the youth camps hosted by SDSU. All I will say is he is a good talker that needs to expand on his craft. He could someday be a great coach but it isnt now. In fact he is not the best assistant coach in the building. That honor would goes to Gregg Gotlieb. As to Acker being the offensive guy that not true. He was Boise defensive guy before coming to SDSU and just added two offensive guru to his Long Beach Staff. Now if you said Coach Acker was a go getter and showed up early to work with the player then that something else. This job at SDSU is no longer a small time program. We hire the best available coach with prior HC experience. If you looking for guys with HC experience with SDSU ties it will be: Marvin Menzies, Justin Hudson, and Acker. All three have previously coached HS and can bring in guys to develop. Budget Friendly Assistant with SDSU ties: Tim Shelton, Dave V, Tyrone Shelly (JC HC) and Aerick Saunders. I personally would take Tim Shelton as he has been at 4 different programs and keeps on growing his craft. He is the most well arounded coach from all 3. So every time someone brings up the HCIW BS lets just pump the brakes. Also Ive never heard Dave V say he want to be a Head Coach. Some coaches prefer just being lifetime assistant. My point from here on out, is getting the best available coaches and having the best players come in even if they are from another program. |

My point from here on out, is getting the best available coaches and having the best players come in even if they are from another program. Directly from Acker's SDSU bio... " Chris Acker begins his fifth season at San Diego State as an assistant coach after joining the program on June 2, 2019. His main responsibilities to the program include recruiting, and player development with an emphasis on the team’s offense.
Focusing on the offensive side of the ball, he plays a critical role in the success of the program, which in 2023 reached the national championship game of the NCAA Tournament, has played in the championship game of the Mountain West in each of his first four seasons and NCAA tournament berths in the last three seasons.
In 2022-23, Acker guided one of the program’s most balanced offensive attacks. Nine players competed in at least 37 of the team’s 39 games, all nine earned at least one start and eight of the nine averaged at least 5.8 points per game." I added up Acker's total D1 coaching experience at 11 years which equals Dave's D1 experience. Tim Shelton would make zero sense based off prior experience, Hutson already failed as HC once. I do agree you can vet who's interested if/when Dutch retires, but we have a guy who is qualified as associate HC and at this point, probably wouldn't be on staff if we he wasn't waiting for his shot at it. |

I've seen tweets/threads that he is a "great hire" but no real confirmation and changed the title.
Feel free to update either way.

Roomer has it, they sent out an offer to Stan but either his fax machine is turned off, he has fallen and can't get up or he is out recruiting Texas looking for someone to play the 5

You're both wrong. He was throwing out the first pitch at the Padre game. |
