Like I said, you want to go for Chad Boudreau - he's delivered most of our recruits, and he's a coach that favors a seriously up-tempo offense and pressure defense.
Boudreau's coaching philosophy is highly influenced by Dr. Tom Davis, who was the coach at Iowa when Boudreau was growing up in Iowa, playing at Hannibal-LaGrange, and coaching at Indian Hills.
I believe some of you guys were clamoring for someone like that.

A guy influenced by Tom Davis? Sounds like another coach we all know well.

If Jeter were to leave, please do not hire another Bo Ryan assistant. I don't want another coach that gets a dumbfounded look on their face and complains every time a player commits a foul. Couldn't agree more! |

Chad Boudreau is an intriguing candidate, but by no means should he be handed the position without conducting a thorough and complete head coaching search. In terms of coaches which have been influenced by Dr. Tom Davis, how about a coach who shares his DNA? His son Keno Davis. With Keno Davis, you would be getting the high-octane and exciting style of play of a Bruce Pearl coach team, without the sleaziness and baggage of Pearl. www.coachkenodavis.com/ |

i'd definitely put him in the running, blackandgold...in that situation, i'd also hope we would consider Weber...frankly, coaches with the type of profile that those two have had a pretty good track record

I'm not discouraged by this year and I'm fine with Jeter being our coach. I totally understand that people are disappointed in this year's finish. I'm quite sure we could have gotten a few more wins with a few less injuries. Who know's how much of a difference that could have made in the league tourney. I don't want to make it sound like I'm settling for not winning the conference but we've certainly got a good coach. Is he great? Bruce was great. Rob's been good. He still is quite young. Remember how many years Bo had in at Platteville before he came here and then left for Madison. He had a lot.
1976–1984 Wisconsin (asst.)
1984–1999 UW–Platteville
1999–2001 Milwaukee
2001–present Wisconsin
More importantly, even with this years results, I do think Rob's been a little better coach each year. This year we had good D most all the year. A much better start than in years past. I felt like more than anything, this team seemed to tire out and wear down towards the middle to end of the season. Our lack of offense due to injury and some lack of progress from a few players really hurt us. That was not like previous years but may have been the result of a shorter bench. All in all, this team should be quite loaded for next year. These extra medical red shirts will help our depth and we should have decent players fighting for playing time.

PJD, you did a good job making the argument that maybe, just maybe, Jeter should not have been hired. He is (was) young and did not have as much experience as his mentor. Maybe Jeter should have cut his teeth at a lower level. But it is all irrelevant, since he is here and is our coach.
Maybe doesn't fit in this thread, but with the current state of the program I'm debating how I will support in the future. I'm a fan of meager means, so what I do doesn't really have an impact on the program. Jeter's not a bad coach, but with my waning lack of interest in basketball (at all levels) I likely will not resume my season tickets next year. There's really nothing about the coach or program that excites me enough to stay interested. My view shouldn't reflect on Jeter as a person, but as a coach he doesn't have my interest level that high.

I don’t think the issue is whether or not Rob Jeter is a good x and o’s coach. The issue is whether or not Rob Jeter is the right fit as Head Coach here at Milwaukee. Our program is relatively young, we’ve only have been in Division 1 since 1990. We’re still considered an upstart. This program needs a coach who is a salesman, an ambassador, and is going to get people excited about the program. We definitely need a coach who has a dynamic personality and can energize the Milwaukee community about Panther Basketball. Also, style of play matters. Since turning division 1 our best teams, under both Antrim and Pearl, utilized a fast paced, full court, high scoring, and a defensive pressure brand of basketball. We need to get people interested and turned on about Panther basketball. An exciting brand of basketball is important in attracting potential fans, students, and alumni to get connected to the basketball program as well as the university as a whole. |

That brand of basketball is what Jeter promised at his hiring press conference back in 2005. And he kept that promise for about two months in 2006.

Style of play is a shibboleth. All that fans really care about is winning, entertaining basketball. If it was about style of play I guess we wouldn't want Brad Stevens coaching here with that tough, defensive Big Ten style of his. Green Bay's program has never had a fraction of the fan support it had since Dick Bennett left, but I get the feeling you wouldn't want Dick Bennett coaching Milwaukee. You could go on and on with examples.
It's perfectly fine for you guys to say "I (emphasis on the "I") prefer high tempo basketball!" Some people do and there's nothing wrong with it. But it's no more likely (actually it's less likely) to be winning basketball than the other extreme -- Bennett ball.
Give me winning basketball, and to hell with the style. If you win, the fans will come. That's why our ticket sales were up this year.

Ticket sales were up because of the buy 1 get 1 deal, $1 kids days, and the group tickets which I assume are more than likely donated tickets to boys/girls clubs, grade schools, etc.

Style of play is a shibboleth. Because I know you were wondering just like I was: shib·bo·leth/ˈSHibəliTH/ Noun: A custom, principle, or belief distinguishing a class or group of people. |

I notice that you carefully excised the rest of the definition:
"especially a long-standing one regarded as outmoded or no longer important."
