LJS is saying that Walter Roese is one of two top candidates for their associate basketball coach position. Does anyone know why? I don't think he has ties there. Why take a coach from one of the worst power-conference teams in America? I know he is supposed to have strong recruiting ties to foreigners but so far he's managed to get two recruited and one didn't end up here while the other (Almeida) should make it, but we know all too well how that seems to go. At first I was a little disappointed to hear this - he coaches the jr. national Brazilian team, so SHOULD be able to get good Brazilian players - but then realized if he leaves, Doc has an opportunity to find a guy that will recruit even better AMERICAN boys who actually know how to play the game. Unfortunately I'm afraid if Roese leaves, Doc may just fill the vacancy with another so-so coach who doesn't have an impact on this program.
