Being the AD 2: Another FBCB adventure - Page 2

Hiring for Marquette wasn't the easiest task in the world. This wasn't a job I could go out and get an assistant to do. We needed a proven coach, but I wanted a guy who was young enough that he'd inhabit the job for a long time, to maintain the stability of the program.

I knew I wanted to come up with a storyline of bringing a "Marquette guy" into the fold to coach and since the game doesn't automatically generate former players as coaches, I was committed to changing the name of whoever I identified as a suitable candidate to fit my storyline. Chucho Garrido graduated in 1905 and was the 37th overall pick that year. Luckily, I managed to stumble into a coach who's background was perfect to become Chucho's.

He is one of three Marquette players with 2000 career points and is third on the all-time scoring list at the school. The big man became a coach about six years after graduating, joining the staff at UW-Milwaukee. He stayed there until 1921, joined Glenn Weaver at Air Force and when he left to become just the 2nd head coach in Marquette history, Chucho was back home again.

He stayed until it was time to step out on his own, as the Head Coach at South Dakota State where he won two Summit League titles and was named conference coach of the year twice. He joined Rice last year and led them to a 22-win season. No one expected Coach Weaver to retire, but when he did, the clause in Garrido's contract was trigger enabling him to leave with no penalty if Marquette was interested. The only nice thing about being at a dominant program is not having to worry a whole lot about the spending part of it. But in case you were curious, his total compensation would total about $5.53 million.

Within days of my arrival, I knew what had to be done and the deal was done. Marquette hires it's third head coach in school history and the hope is that he'll be in that role for a very long time to come.

No big surprise here, I guess. But Joe Peebles left Colorado to take over the job at North Carolina. I considered hiring him at Marquette, but thought it'd be better to go in a different direction here. Two of the assistants went with him, while head scout Lloyd Wicks went to Loyola Marymount to be the head man there.

Sort of sad in a way, but I think everyone will be okay.

Hard to adjust your expectations from being in a place where winning was a luxury to a situation where anything LESS than 25+ wins and a Final Four is the expectation. But I'm going to learn. Regular season is over for the 1930-31 season.

Maybe I should've taken over Mizzou and hired someone to come in here and post rumors of who we'd hire.

RECRUITING: #47

After this upcoming season, I'm going to take over a second school and run them parallel to Marquette. It'll be a low-prestige program from a smaller conference, sort of purposely because it's the thing we haven't done yet. So we'll go even lower the mid-majors and find a low major looking for a coach and take over that gig instead.

Should be interesting.

But in the meantime, we're going to get back to Marquette basketball's second season. After this coming year, if the team doesn't perform better -- and recruiting was poor this past year, so not expecting a lot -- then we're going to get rid of the assistants he inherited when he took this job.

We're committed to Chucho for the long-term, unless there's a compelling reason to remove him. It's partially why I want a second program to monitor, but also just to see how to run a small budget team that can't get it's first or second choice of coaches.

It's exciting to go to the Final Four, even if you're expected to be there by your administration. This is Marquette's first Final Four since winning the whole thing in 1923-24. This is the school's 6th Final Four overall. Chucho Garrido maintains the streak of each coaching who's coached here taking the team to a Final Four. Talk about a record for future coaches to have to uphold, huh?

1932-33 CONFERENCE MOVEMENT
Longwood leaves Continental League for America East
North Alabama leaves Independent for Sun Belt
Grand Canyon (Phoenix, AZ) moves up to D1. Joins the WCC.

There will be some bigger changes coming down the pipe, but...not this off-season.

I ended up saving this dynasty in state and creating a spinoff for myself because I wanted to go faster and tinker around some too. I'm not sure if I'll revisit this iteration or advance you to my future one or not.

I've made some fun alterations like eliminating auto-bids for 1 and 2 prestige conferences, brought in the two other tournaments to serve those underserved teams as a result (and it seems to be working nicely, as it turns out) and made some changes based on suggestions to my CoachCalc methodology that should help things too.

So I'll get around to this eventually, just not sure when and exactly how.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	No big surprise here, I guess. But Joe Peebles left Colorado to take over the job at North Carolina. I considered hiring him at Marquette, but thought it'd be better to go in a different direction here. Two of the assistants went with him, while head scout Lloyd Wicks went to Loyola Marymount to be the head man there. Sort of sad in a way, but I think everyone will be okay.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	RECRUITING: #47 After this upcoming season, I'm going to take over a second school and run them parallel to Marquette. It'll be a low-prestige program from a smaller conference, sort of purposely because it's the thing we haven't done yet. So we'll go even lower the mid-majors and find a low major looking for a coach and take over that gig instead. Should be interesting. But in the meantime, we're going to get back to Marquette basketball's second season. After this coming year, if the team doesn't perform better -- and recruiting was poor this past year, so not expecting a lot -- then we're going to get rid of the assistants he inherited when he took this job. We're committed to Chucho for the long-term, unless there's a compelling reason to remove him. It's partially why I want a second program to monitor, but also just to see how to run a small budget team that can't get it's first or second choice of coaches.
