Steven Pearl stinks at Auburn. Bad sign for UH?

@pesik im certainly not worrying

But there were some, when Bruce Pearl stepped down. Were curious how it would go at Auburn

Cause Steven Pearl was rumored as HC in waiting

He gives it to his son with a good roster & it goes bad quickly.

Just starting dialogue, thats all.

Plus Kellen isn’t a huge douchebag like both Pearls are…

Kellen has watched his father so long he probably knows what he’s dreaming. If Kellen can recruit the same types of players then it’s gonna be just like CKS.

It will be interesting to see what Price, Beard, and Goldwire do once Kellen takes over. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them leave UH and plant more seeds of the Sampson tree. Kellen then has the opportunity to bring in his own staff. High risk, high reward.

Pretty outlandish correlation.

I’ll just leave it at that.

I would be surprised if Kellen taking over had much to do with the assistants’ career choices. They know he’s HCIW now; it’s not like they’re getting overlooked for an open job. They may naturally leave due to career progression – assistants don’t last forever – but I don’t think CKS retiring would create any sort of exodus among the coaching staff.

This is irrefutable.

Tony Bennett succeeded his dad at Washington State and raised the program to a higher level. His dad wasn’t as successful as Kelvin by a long shot, but he had done well at Wazzu.

Exactly. Many college coaches have had fathers that were coaches at the HS level and beyond. That guarantees neither success nor failure for their sons.

I’m still shaking my head at why this thread was ever posted at this juncture of the season. There will be 6 months between the end of this season and the beginning of the 26-27 one.

31

I created the thread. Its a side topic obviously

But to see the fall-off from Auburn is fascinating.

Talent wise, they’re a top25 team with a good coach. Probably gonna miss the tournament

Was it to denigrate Kellen Sampson or put doubt in our fanbase? That wasnt my intention

Its a message board, some topics are dumb. This is probably one of them

Hope for the best? I like this optimistic @pesik

Honestly, you’re right. We dont even know when CKS will retire. So enjoy what we have now. What we got is pretty damn good

33

That’s the joke lol

34

Come on Kyle, you should know that I know this haha. Just making the point that it’s a pretty similar situation and set up.

35

@uncleju I remember the Duke rumors. Who will take over for Coach K?

○Bobby Hurley (Arizona State)
○Steve Wojciechowski (former Marquette HC)
○Jeff Capel (Pittsburgh)
○Chris Collins (Northwestern)
○Johnny Dawkins (UCF)
○Tommy Amaker (Harvard)

They hit a homerun with Jon Scheyer.

36

So why the “Bad sign for UH”? What purpose did that serve?

37

Sure thats fair. The topic title is clickbait, too negative.

I agree with that.

It was phrased as a question. Which alot of yall have responded w/ good answers to

38

I understand the point but each situation is unique. I believe in Kellen!

39

To answer…No :basketball:

I think when Maisy takes over for Kellen in 30 years that will be the real golden age. Celtics banners all over the place.
