eagle41 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 UTEP is playing on cbs now. From what i see Barbee has put together a good team. He would be an excellent choice as head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 If Barbee takes that other job, then we need to hire Mitchell. He's from Columbus, Georgia and he knows Auburn and the SEC. Plus he could also go get AAU players in Ga. & Fla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guerra aguila 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 looks like Barbee is possibly the fans choice. I like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I would love the Barbee hire as well. He has put together a solid program with some really good players. Take a look at the UTEP roster, he actually has big men! I don't mean just tall, skinny guys who couldn't sign with anyone else either- tall, big, athletic men who can actually play ball. http://utepathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/utep-m-baskbl-mtt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gAUlf 1 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Out of the names I've heard so far I like Barbee, Mitchell, Johnny Jones and my favorite Steve Alford. Would not complain about any of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 If JJ hires Sam Mitchell, it would be good for Mitchell to then turn around and hire Chuck Person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupops2 9 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I got on the Barbee bandwagon, then watched UTEP immediately lose to Houston. Keep me as far away for basketball as you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Only thing I could find was on NBA.com: Sam Mitchell bio. It isn't much but I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgforau 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Auburn4ever you have it! Mitchel was coach of the Raptors for 2 years and is considered a bright basketball mind. Very well connected with AAU and the recruits would love to play for a former NBA coach. Bring in Chuck and as number one assistant and get him the college experience he needs and rally the AU basketball family. Recruits and fans would flock to that combo and they would not have to cheat. They both have plenty of money and that would not be the deciding factor. Give the program some swagger! The new arena is the catalyst that makes it all happen. The regional and national news would be all over it and overwhelm the local Bama press. I like it.

Weegle777 78 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The more I read, the more I like Mitchell and Barbee. Kids would flock to play for an NBA coach and Barbee seems to be a winner. If we do land Barbee, just get your tough skin on because the Ken and Barbie jokes will be flying like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thank you. Someone emailed me and said coach Mitchell would take the job if Jay offered it. I hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Mitchell would be a solid, solid hire for us. I wonder if he is on JJ's "short list" or not. Matter of fact, I would be very curious to know who actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBURN05 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I belive Sam Mitchell would take the job. He would be a great hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IManAUBURNlifer 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would be ecstatic if we hired Sam Mitchell. Tony Barbee would be dynamite as well. Couldn't go wrong either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
