Kenny Anderson would love to come home
Kenny Anderson said today that he’d love to be a part of the next coaching staff at Georgia Tech.
“I know with my inexperience on the sidelines in college, I don’t need to be a head coach, but I would love to be a part of the program in some form or fashion,” he said.
Anderson, of course, is one of the greats in Tech’s history. A point guard from New York, he led “Lethal Weapon 3″ to the Final Four in 1990 as a freshman. He played one more year, helping the Yellow Jackets earn a No. 8 seed in the next NCAA tournament while averaging nearly 26 points per game.
He said he has a lot of respect for Paul Hewitt, who was fired on Saturday after 11 season as Tech’s coach. In one of those ironic statements, he said it’s too bad that Hewitt had so many one-and-dones that hurt the program’s momentum. Though Anderson left Tech early, he eventually earned a college degree from St. Thomas University in Miami. He lives in nearby Pembroke Pines with his third wife.
Anderson said he’d love to see athletic director Dan Radakovich bring in “a young guy, a charismatic type of guy, a guy who has ties recruiting in the south.”
Anderson said he thought Hewitt was treated fairly. He said the program has been down for a few years.
“When you are losing, no one likes it when you are losing, especially when you are a big-time program,” he said. “He was a top-paid coach, so it comes with the territory.”
As for his qualifications, Anderson said he brings his experiences from Tech and a 14-year career in the NBA. He has plenty of wisdom to share. As chronicled by Michelle Hiskey in a story in the AJC last year, Anderson squandered $60 million in basketball earnings.
“I definitely would bring great mentorship trying to lead those young men,” he said. “My experiences at Georgia Tech and my life experiences I could help them develop as players and young men.”
He said he thinks he would a good recruiter, especially in the South and the New York metropolitan area. As for X’s and O’s, “that’s a no-brainer. That’s easy for me, being that I was point guard and ran a bunch of teams in the NBA and Tech when I was a freshman.
“Having a face like mine, with all the success I had at Georgia Tech, bringing me back would be a breath of fresh air. I think alumni and boosters would love to see Kenny Anderson back with the program.”

I like this idea. We need successful former players to help with recruiting and get excitement back into the program. Anderson knows how to win as a player from his days at GT, and he will be able to relate to players to get them to play at a higher level. A good deal of college basketball success is motivation and attitude. Georgia Tech has so much potential to be a consistently good team in college basketball. GT plays in the best conference year to year in BB, has great tradition, brand new facilities(both practice and Arena), and no problem recruiting top talent being in Atlanta. All we are missing is a Coach and some good assistants who both have a genuine love for the school. GT is a great job for any rising bball coach….I cant wait to see who we get.

here’s the guy that can recruit the kids in New York like Cremins did. Amen Kenny by all means, you would be an asset to GT basketball. Hope Mark Price, Craig Neal, Dennis Scott and others go for it. Jon Barry was on ESPN radio this morning and even mentioned a little interest in what was going on at GT now.
(Just please Kenny enough of getting pulled in to that crazy tv show that has your ex wife on there who never shuts up.)

DEAR NEW COACH,
DUMP the Gold uniforms. Use Navy instead. Hard to watch on TV, plus have spoken to players from GT about 5 years back and it is sometimes hard to distinguish (in split second) between the light gold and opponent’s white. Maybe why so many turnovers?? Need more of a difference, plus the gold isn’t very menacing. Maybe wear the gold for home games occasionally.
Oh and PS: don’t call all your timeouts prior to the last 5 minutes of the game. Understand how/when the “media” timeouts work.

Kenny Anderson would serve as a VERY POOR mentor.
Yes, there were great moments when he played for GT.
But…………………………………………………………………..
His personal life shouldnt be a example…FOR ANYONE.
3 Wives, 7 illegitimate children from 5 different women.
Exactly how many lawsuits have ben filed against him by all these women
looking for back child-support, alimony, etc. etc.
He’s been a complete knucklehead in EVERY aspect
when it comes to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
He has no idea what the concept means.
What kind of example could he possible serve as:
“Look guys. Dont be a complete DA like me.”
At this ppoint, I would DEFINITELY not want to see him around the program.

pompous the Tech job is a very good one but I really dont think anyone expects us to hire a coach away from UK. The GT job is one of the best jobs you can get in college basketball…we recruit the best players, have a great track record with the NBA, have top facilities, and play in the ACC…just saying. Thats why the Hewitt firing made the 11pm version of sports center right after the ACC tourney highlights…its a big time job.

“The GT jobs is one of best jobs you can get in college basketball” Do What? Never blog when you are smoking pot or doing drugs you tend to post senseless, goofy, mindless blather, like that comment. The GT job isn’t in the Top 20. As for “top facilities” , you dont get around much do you?
The reason the firing made ESPN Sports Center is because it’s news, firings of coaches are headline news, it has nothing to do with ranking of the importance of the school’s opening nationally, that’s just silly. The GT job ranks with Clemson, Ole Miss, Colorado, and a notch above Georgia St. You are nowhere near as highly regarded as you seem to think, the GT program is NOT in the same realm as the nation’s premier programs like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, N Carolina, UConn, UCLA, Florida, Texas, Pitt, Ohio St, Mich St, Arizona, you simply are not and never have been. GT has had a few nice years but you are not among the top tier programs, nor have you been. You are in a tier with Clemson, Miami, Missouri, Boston College, Memphis, Alabama, Georgia.
Will be interesting to see who takes the job.

Radakovich won’t make that mistake. There is a lot of pressure to pick the right guy but I would imagine it won’t be anything like Hewitt. Kenny should go over to Cremins place for a couple of years help Bobby do some recruiting up north, learn a little about how to coach, then maybe take that job over as Bobby is getting older, though I imagine Bobby has someone in mind for that all ready. I bet someone in the Southern or Big South could use Kenny, let him get his feet wet. I think a guy like Hewitt would survive better somewhere outside an ACC tradition on the flip side of that we need a new coach that really enjoys the ACC tradition, respects the league. The first thing Coach K said today was how strong the ACC is and what an honor it is to play in it. I think the guys Hewitt recruited found this conference a bunch of jazz, they came to Tech because of Atlanta and not because of the ACC. As Cremins found the ACC will carry you if you let it, but if you think education is overrated, and don’t know the difference between Duke and South Florida academically maybe the ACC is not the place for you as a player or a coach.

Do What? You may not visit too many places do you? Perhaps you are about ten years old, which is not a bad thing. Florida has won a national championship and Texas as been pretty good, but I’ll only grant the other programs you mentioned better than Tech on average during the past 25 years. Yes, we have been down since 2004 and not a consistent winner since then despite still going to the NCAA a time or two. Tech is in Atlanta, enough said, where the talent is legend….and Tech is building a whole new basketball complex after spending millions of dollars on Alexander in advance of the Olympics and then on a new basketball training/office headquarters. Tech will get the talent. The objective will be to coach them and keep them in school for at least three years before they head off to the NBA. The right coach can do this. The 1980’s and 90’s are not that far away so do some history work and check out attendance at Tech basketball games during those wonderful and successful years when tickets were hard to get. Yes, Tech fans are a bit fickle, but with the right coach and team you’ll see them coming back. Yes again, the Georgia Tech job is “one of the best jobs you can get in college basketball.”

The one comment Kenny made right before his NBA career was about to end; “people(fans) don’t know how expensive it is to have 8 new cars.

What inspires these young players that are NBA ready after the requisite one year of college, to stay in college after that? It seems like a few of the big time coaches, like Coach K. and I would guess even Coach Williams, get at least two years if not more out of their players. If a coach with the same attributes, those guys seem to have can be found and he has a decent track record, that’s the coach for Tech. Probably has to be part salesman, part mentor, good sound fundementals and showed he can win consistently. I would think it will take some bucks to persuade this type of coach to leave his successful job and security, and start over with a new team. That was probably the thinking of Techs. former AD, when he gave coach Hewitt that sweetheart contract.

The overall FACT about Hewitt is this:
He clearly started “mailing it in” right after he signed the “lifetime contract.”
Just look at the stats. It’s been all downhill since he signed the contract.
His complacency and arrogance grew steadily year after year,
and the team performance and stats grew worse year after year,
after the contract was signed.

for those who think Mark Price does not have any previous coaching experience, then you may want to read his bio, he does:

If I were Kenny, I would walk in the door and not blink an eye why I wanted to be the head basketball coach at Ga Tech. Just bring along the video of the jumper against Michigan St that led GT to a final four appearance.
GT hasn’t had any former players involved in the program in at least 11 years, time to give someone(s) a chance. I mean, there were several alone drafted in the NBA first round. I wish they would all apply for the job. DRAD said all would be considered, not just current head and assistant coaches. There are plenty out there with head coaching experience including Hewitt, doesn’t mean anything most times.

If Kenny demonstrated his ability to swallow his ego and start out as a secondary assistant, and had good chemistry with the new coach, then I am sure he’d get a shot.

Thank you for your playing career and your loyalty to Georgia Tech. I can not imagine you being ready to coach young men at this time in your career, given your own life choices. I am sure you have learned from your experience, but you must know you have a lot to prove in terms of personal responsibility and coaching ability. No problems with you as a consultant, but not ready to give you a contract. Of course, it’s up to the next head coach really. And by the way, before you needed a job, in what ways have you helped Hewitt or the program in the last decade?

No mention of Craig Neal? Granted, he wasn’t stellar when he was in school, but he seems to have a respectable record as an associate/assistant. As a student in the 80’s yes, it would be awesome to see some of those players on the bench again, but it will be even better to get someone who can truly lead our talent to the post season. I’m ready for a season when I really want to be at the games, and don’t forget when the away games are on. Not sure I want Kenny involved.

@ Do What?
“As for “top facilities” , you dont get around much do you? The GT job ranks with Clemson, Ole Miss, Colorado, and a notch above Georgia St. You are in a tier with Clemson, Miami, Missouri, Boston College, Memphis, Alabama, Georgia.”
What are you SMOKING?!? Other than Memphis, since the NCAAs expanded to 64 teams in 1985 ALL of those other teams COMBINED have been to ZERO Final Fours! We all know GT has been to two during that time. You are right about Memphis, but GT’s record for big wins, conference championships, NCAA appearances, and NCAA wins during that time is better than ALL of those other teams.
As for facilities, the Zelniak Center already is top-tier, and the new stadium will be right there in about a year. UGA’s stadium was a laughing stock until it was recently renovated. Just ask any non-delusional UGA fan who went there during that time…if you can find any.
And ask any recruit if they’d rather by in BFE Missouri, Missouri, Colorado, or Clemson…or in the ATL. GT and Memphis are CLEARLY better programs then all those others.
But hey…don’t let the FACTS get in your way.

Kenny did get his degree from somewhere else, he finished up in 2010. I hope he applies.
I also hope there are several GT players applying for head and assistant coaches. Eleven years plus is way too long for the program to go without its own. Hewitt should have hired a few. Why he did not is beyond me. I mean I have to laugh when bloggers recommend former UNC or Duke players. GT was right up there with them at one time. Our former players do not have to take a back seat to anyone. We have several drafted in the NBA first round. It is hard to ignore Mark Price, an All American, with retired jersey from GT and Cleveland, the former NBA 3 pt shootout winner. I mean what else can Price do? I do think DRAD realized GT does have some former players who they ought to interview. Even Jon Barry mentioned the same thing on ESPN radio this morning. I remember when the 6th man off the bench played in the NBA as well. They all came for the GT players. Out of that bunch, somebody should impress the GTAA.

Let me be clear…..Kenny Anderson played two fantastic seasons at Georgia Tech and then left never to return and finish his degree. I don’t give a rat’s arse if he got an online degree from some other school. IF YOU START AT TECH YOU DAMN WELL NEED TO FINISH AT TECH. Plus he completed showed his tail with his immature rants and ravings when Harpring’s number was retired; talk ing about how he was this and he did that and if a guy like Harpring gets his number retired then he should have a bronzed statue in the coliseum.
You owe a lot of people at Tech a bigtime apology Mr. Anderson (”Mr.” used loosely). You want to coach at Tech, with even the slightest bit of responsibility then in my opinion you must 1) finish what you started with getting your degree from Tech, 2) apologize to those you know you’ve insulted (including your former head coach, Harpring, and every other GT basketball player who spilled as much sweat in the lab as he did on the court who you think (or thought) you are better than regardless of wether their number is retired or not. Do those two things and then we’ll see. You want Tech to embrace you? When are you going to embrace Tech?

I’m a current student, so sadly I’m too young to have been able to have the pleasure of watching guys like Price, Anderson, Spider, and some of the other greats play. I do think that’d it would be great & create some excitement to have some former players come back in some form or another. Hewitt really screwed that up. I believe that when we were really struggling w/ FT’s a couple of yrs ago Price offered to come in for free & work w/ the players, Hewitt said No.
Either way, I think D Rad will make the right choice.

Don’t need Anderson’s baggage. I hope he has learned alot through his adventures, and is a better man for it.

I would rather be embarrased on the court (field) with quality people rather than off the court (field) a la UGA. Also, their arena is a converted barn, and the stench is still there.

I know Salley and Forrest have made similar gestures, and although he’s not the most outgoing guy Harpring worked out at Tech every off-season for years and you’d never know he had anything to do with Tech baskebtall because essentially he was made to feel not welcome by Hewiitt.
Look I’m not opposed to former players helping the program or even assistant coaching. But NONE OF THEM….including Price…have a shread of the amount of experience in coaching that a team like Tech needs right now to be the Head Coach.

Here my whole thing with Kenny Anderson. If he were serious, or if he were being seen as being serious, about this whole coaching thing then why hasn’t Cremins brought him on at C of C? Personally I don’t think Kenny has a clue as to the level of commitment, hard work, and time it takes to be a successful college basketball coach. Proving it by starting at the high school level would go a long way but it seems he refuses to take that course of action.

What’s kind of amazing looking at the link that C C provides is that Hewitt had a player who played at least one game in the NBA on every team he had except for this year(and it’s a total of 10 players with 4 one and dones). And that may change if Shumpert gets drafted this year or next. And I think there is some potential for Holsey, Oliver, and maybe Rice Jr. The list does include Hewitt’s first year which had Alvin Jones in his senior year. I wonder how many teams that are not basketball powerhouses that can say that. I’m not as well versed in Georgia basketball, but they have at least 3 years without an NBA player in the same time span, depending on who makes it from their current team and at this point, it’s 2 players in the NBA plus whoever makes it from this year’s team. I’d love to see some in depth analysis about where GT stands as a program when it comes to putting players into the NBA. They won’t beat powerhouse programs, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them be considered a second tier. Further checking shows that that website isn’t the best. Where’s Hakeem Warrick from Syracuse? Looking at basketball-reference.com, Syracuse has 9 guys who made the NBA in the same time frame as Hewitt was coach(and exlcuding guys who made the league because their college careers ended before Hewitt was coach at GT). The point is that I think GT would compare very favorably to successful programs in regards to putting guys in the NBA. GT won’t compare to the best programs, like Kansas, which is always a good team and has 15 guys who made the league in the same time span. Duke has 14. UConn has 11. UNC has 14. UCLA has 15. UF has 11. UT has 12. Maryland has 8. Wake has 7. FSU has 5. These numbers are one of the negatives against Hewitt. He clearly attracts good talent and at a rate that makes GT appear to be a national power. His record does not reflect this recruiting power. This brings me to my next point. Andy Katz said GT is not as attractive a job as it appears due to ATL being a pro town. I beg to differ as GT can clearly get top recruits, which means GT can get deep classes as well. And it’s been proven during Hewitt’s tenure that this is true. Also, if ATL is a pro town, how come ATL is notorious for not supporting the pro teams? Katz can’t have it both ways. As a non-ATL native, the best description of ATL is a front-running town. If a local team is winning, they will support it. Whoever the new coach is, all he has to do is win to get fans out. Based on GT’s past, he should be able to get very good recruits like Hewitt has been able to do. If he’s winning with those players on a consistent basis, watch out.

I hate to pile on Hewitt, because he hasn’t been as terrible a coach as I think we’ve sometimes made him out to be, but the deeper numbers backup the sub par winning percentage numbers. I’d love to see some comparisons showing how many teams multiple NBA players didn’t make the tournament or how many teams put 10 guys in the NBA in 11 years and made the tourney only 5 times. I have a feeling that these numbers would not look good for Hewitt. Going back to Syracuse, they made the NCAA’s 8 times over Hewitt’s tenure and the NIT 3 times. They were 11/11 in making post season tournaments. GT is 6/11 in the same time frame, with a 10 to 9 advantage in NBA players(excepting players from the current teams). Syracuse’s worst record was 21-14 in that same time frame. Their worst conference record was 7-9 in that time frame. In fact, that was their only sub-500 conference record. I don’t expect GT to find the next Jim Boeheim, but come on, the talent is clearly not inferior at GT. I think a reasonable expectation is that GT should at least right around .500 in conference every 3 out of 4 years. I’m giving GT 1 out of every 4 years to have a down year. It doesn’t mean GT has to make the tourney 3 out of every 4 years, but being at least a bubble team is expected. If VT can be a bubble team every year, GT should be better than them at least 60% of the time.

The money folks wanted clean cut Bill Curry and so dumped the California influenced Pepper who left a good gig to come back.
He should have stayed at UCLA where they had more of a commitment to him.
Don’t take an actual look at Curry’s record if u like to think of our past coaches (as u usually do) as better than they actually were.
Maybe Price can rally the troops but it would be very risky.
Once again we’d have to hope for top assistants to help overcome inexperience.
The former player (Curry, Goff and Shula) seldom work out.
Sidney Lowe too.
And Kenny.
He could always be the assistant who says “do as I say, not as I do”.

I like Kenny Anderson, but he chose not to stick around for the more typical 3-years that most of the players do when they want to help the program. There’s nothing wrong with him making the career decision and leave very early, but not if you also want to make him part of the program now. What’s he going to say to the kids coming in, one and done is good?? If you are paying attention around the NBA now, a higher percentage of the one year players are not doing well, so the kids need to trust the coach that tells them to stay for 3-4 and hone your skills rather than listening to agents.

404 says it all. We need a coach, not a former NBAer, who has a resume filled with me, me, me, it’s all about me. All of you bringing up Mark Price should get realistic, too. Yes, he’s a nice guy, was a great player, and Tech loves him, but he is NOT head coach material. We don’t need former Tech grads or players, many of which are not grads – e.g., Anderson. And, Doug why do you keeping writing garbage like this and your recent fawning over Hewitt? Maybe the AJC needs a new Tech blogger, too.

I hope the new coach keeps Darryl LaBarrie on staff. He is the recruiting coach and we need some continuity with our recruiting. This will be the biggest obstacle in getting new players to the team. CDL played for Cremins and Hewitt and has worked his way up through the assistant coaching ranks unlike many of the names being thrown out on this blog. From what I have read online, he is responsible for landing Royal and he played and coached for the Atlanta Celtics. Tech needs to keep ties to the Celtics as they have the best AAU talent in the state. I know many of you think that all of the former players will reinvigorate the fan base and all of that other crap but Tech basketball is big time basketball and we should not hire coaches based on emotion or nostalgia.

Buzz-4ever…you are hilarious! I am a longtime Tech supporter. I agree with one suggestion as KA as a consultant/recruiter or something. I was a big fan of KA, but this is a whole different ball game when you have an admin. job. Recruiting is more than a mere relationship that he may have with fellow NYers. One must be able to appeal to an array of households that are getting offers all over the country for their young blue chippers. Cremins had a gift! It wasnt all about his roots. I honestly, believe that DRAD will give the other Anderson, Mike Anderson a call as soon as the NCAA/Mizzou will allow. Best choice in the country, hands down. I have been a supporter of MA for years. DRAD, put Mizzou on notice.

I like Tech, but what would Mike Anderson make that move for? The Big 12 is probably a better conference right now, Mizzou’s facilities are good, and there’s plenty of talent in St. Louis and Kansas City to recruit from. He’ll always have Kansas to deal with, kind of like we’ll always have Duke and NC. I think the Tech job would be lateral for him. Unless the $$$$ can make the difference, I don’t see it happening.

For those commenting on degrees and such. Do you really think that the majority of these players are concerned about degrees? That conversation is a lost cause no matter if it’s UGA or Tech. An SEC legendary coach told me a few years ago…these guys have a chance to make millions, take care of their families, etc. The odds of that happening with a degreed individual are minimal at best. So you do the best you can to keep them, but when they decide to leave no one can blame them.

If you want to bring back a former player as an assistant for whomever is coach, I’d talk to Matt Harpring. Quiet, hard-working, successful, and has remained connected to GT. Don’t think he’d do it, but if you’re give KA a platform of consideration, Matt is a way better example.

Spoke with my source that has been in contact with Cremins after the Hewitt firing. He said Cremins is aware of some speculation that he may be interested in returning to Tech. While he has great memories at GT he is very happy at CofC. Cremins has contacted Drad to lend any help to him or Fogler as needed as he knows Fogler well. That is pretty much it. Cremins was asked who he thought Tech may be interested in but he declined comment and he has no knowledge of Drad’s short list.
While Anthony Grant would be my main target, I have come to the conclusion that GT will not be able to afford him and pay Hewitt. GT will not be getting a huge high dollar high profile coach and certainly not during a reconstruction phase. This is the perfect time to get a mid-major coach on the rise in a low pressure situation. Thus Mike Anderson is probably out. Ditto the Butler guy. Can’t afford him. Everything points to Chris Mooney at Richmond as the main target. Unless of course Anthony Grant will take less money to move to GT just to be in the ACC. I wouldn’t and I doubt he would but you never know.

Doug, my guess is that Cremins will run the next few years with his new stellar recruiting class then retire. CofC is loaded for the next few years and I mean with new talent. Results to be seen of course.
I was at a Richmond baseball game and several people connected with U of R asked me what I thought of Mooney going to GT. I told them it would be a solid hire. They told me that they had it on solid info that GT has already contacted Mooney. Not sure about that really. Doug, do you have any info on that?

Stinger, MA is a family oriented guy. His home is Alabama, a stone’s throw from North Avenue. He is quietly positioning himself for a job like this one. The ACC TV time gets makes him more noticeable and his recruiting genius would multiply in this market, undoubtedly grabbing away some of the NC ball teams’ recruits. He would change the recruiting scene tremendously.

I am not vehemently opoosed to Kenny Anderson being associated with the program but that’s the new coach’s call. I’d consider offering him a grad assistant job. I do think that ANY new coach would be wise to have a GT man on the bench as an assistant, though Lebarrie would seem a better choice. My choice for the head coaching job would be Chris Collins of Duke. He’s been an assistant in a successful ACC program for ten years. His Dad’s NBA and media connections wouldn’t hurt. He’s accustomed to working in an environment where academics are important. Importantly in the current GT situation, a head coaching salary would be a step up for him. Finally, he’s young enough to build a program over time. The only downside would be that if he’s successful at GT, he’d be a strong candidate to replace Coach K when K retires.

I dont think Collins would be a good pick based on his “Pukey” resume. He is rumored to be next in line for Coach K’s job anyway. That would severely hurt his chances, especially if GT is too much to handle. My choice for the last couple of years is Mike Anderson. He is gaining national attention, flying under the radar at Mizzou.

The same folks that criticize Kenny for Graduating from a school other than GT don’t say a darn thing about Coach Kung Fu Panda having a friggn’ PE Degree from friggin’ Western Carolina.
What do you think his SAT Scores were to get accepted to Western Carolina back in the early 70s as a PE Major?
There are plenty of other guys in the B-Ball profession at the higher levels like the NBA & big time colleges that have had multiple marriages and financial trouble, and there are also many clean-cut straight arrows that do no wrong and go to church every Sun. and cannot coach a lick, think back to Bill Curry.

William Casey….. Collins is not a candidate and is not on the short list. I know this to be fact(see last blog posts). Collins will be the next Duke coach within the next three years as Mikey will be retiring. Collins has already turned down ACC offers and others and no way he would entertain the GT job then take over at Duke. GT is not pursuing Collins and vice versa. In fact nobody associated with Duke is being considered: Wojo or Amaker. Not good fits in the ACC unless at Duke. You can bet your last dollar Drad will not hire any Duke affiliated coach. That is the very last thing GT needs. They must go outside the ACC to get their coach.

He was that good. If he wants to help GT in some coaching capacity GT would be foolish to look the other way. Ditto Scott or Price or Salley.

Blue Fox, LaBarrie was the recruiting assistant who is responsible for Royal signing with Tech. He also signed Nate Hicks to provide backup to Miller and Holsey. Wille Reese was originally hired by Bobby Cremins and became Director of Basketball Operations under Hewitt. Please don’t let the facts get in the way of your one-liner. I don’t think anyone affiliated with the program or in the know has a problem with the work that LaBarrie has done as an assistant coach. It is my opinion that he would be the best choice to remain on staff because he is the head recruiter. He knows who they are recruiting and who wants to play for Tech. He also has the Atlanta Celtics connection having played for Karl McCray and having coached in that program. LaBarrie also won a State Championship with David Boyd at Tucker and we all know that Boyd brings talent to any program he is at. We don’t need Boyd pushing players to Athens. As a fan base, we need to get away from making emotional rants and wanting unproven former players because we liked how they played in the past. Great players usually do not make great coaches although I’m sure you can find some exceptions.
