The style doesn't bother me, it basically reminds me of Loyola Marymount awhile back. There's no let up but you're right defense will not be a priority. I don't see why it couldn't work. If anything it something different that might put some pressure on opposing teams not used to it. The idea of getting players at Iona that aren't likely to fly here could be an issue but who's to say he couldn't adapt.
Cluess was the guy I liked the last go around when we hired EJ and I still like him but I gotta say the more I'm reading about Dooley the more I like his name as much and maybe even more as someone who might be able to make the jump up. Been known to be a top ranked assistant and recruiter in the past, seems to be known nationally to a degree in recruiting circles, connections with Fraschilla who has scouted internationally, assistant stint with him as well as a long one with Self, remaking dunk city to fit his persona with strong focus on effort, defense. I like the total package and the resume. Does it mean he's a guarantee, no one is but out of the realistic candidates out there he's moving higher up my list the more I read. Of course our lists mean nothing, it's Hobbs' decision to find the right guy.
