To NOT think that at some point during this throwaway season that the group would evaporate into what we saw against JMU is poor logic. The fact that it took this long is amazing. Skerry's first staff had Kenny Johnson (AAU Guy /DC) and Luke Murray (AAU Guy / NYC) along with a few others, but these were the recruiters. Since then his staff has fallen off - pretty much off the deep end since 2014. Kevin Clark is a tired old coach. Shake up needs to happen. I thought Kenny Johnson left while Kennedy was here. I know his name came up before they hired Skerry. Waddell thought he wouldn’t be a good choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waddell thought he wouldn’t be a good choice. Johnson was here in Skerry's first year. Assistants moved on to take higher-paying jobs at high-major schools. Nothing wrong with that. But replacing them is key. I'm not going to be too critical of assistant coaches in hoops but ultimately, if this goes on longer and TL is still there, he's going to do the same thing he did to RA and that's force some moves on the staff.

Yes, he hit his first few on Saturday, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every so often. And that's bad coaching as much as it is a selfish player who's unrealistic about his ability.

TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) I’ll extend it out farther...what did the coaches see in him that they valued him as a recruit? Presumably, his outside shooting fundamentals were there for the world to see. Was it because he got away with his bulling his way into the lane in prep school against 6’4” centers? Shouldn’t it have been apparent that wouldn’t work at this level? Edited March 3, 2019 by TSU88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like a selfish point guard who won't pass and doesn't realize he can't shoot past 3 feet. Dude has balls though but it's not helping the team.

Waddell thought he wouldn’t be a good choice. Johnson was hired by Skerry, who along with Luke Murray, gave Towson a 1-2 punch with AAU coaches in DC and NYC. Johnson was also the key to getting Benimon to Towson. He left Towson to go to Indiana and then matriculated to Louisville and got swept up in the scandals with adidas while an assistant with Rick Pitino. He is now an assistant coach at LaSalle. https://goexplorers.com/news/2018/5/9/mens-basketball-assistant-coach-release.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griggey20 178 Report post Posted March 4, 2019 Don't forget Bruce Shingler who left and went to USC (South Carolina). I agree that we need another guy but KJ, LM and BS were all here for a short term and are making big impacts in high major leagues. I am not sure if that next guy is on the staff right now but I agree we need to find another guy of that magnitude to get the players everyone is coveting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
