But now everybody has film on him against Division I competition. What will their evaluations tell them? Even looking past the shitty Whitford offense, I don't think the film will be doing him any favors. With spotty shooting performance it isn't likely to make anyone think he fills an immediate need, so his chances now are to get a rewind and play where he would get different shots in a different offense. He would have had that here, but apparently Lewis wasn't connecting...
Still you are correct, nothing makes him a more promising recruit now. Conflict with a coach who is pretty highly regarded can't be a big plus.
It will not be a Covid restricted year so maybe that will give him more chances?

What highly regarded coach did he have a conflict with ? |

Relative to other D1 head coaches? No.
He's never coached a game and, for some reason(s), has been parked half his life as an assistant. We hope he becomes highly regarded....and quickly.

He does still have that new-coach smell about him, no scratches or dents, no losing record funk on the floor mats. So relative to some other DI coaches, hopefully at least in the eyes of the recruits, he can still represent hope and promise. Of course, he's now been off the lot for a month, so depreciation could take its toll quickly. We'll see how well he's made. |

You don't think Mike is well known and respected? He is just another newbie the MAC. What planet do you live on ? He is, but he's certainly well known in the profession. He's been around, he hobnobs with the big names at AAU events. He's visible. He's got connections. Does that mean he'll be successful? No, but I wouldn't say he's not well known and respected. Obviously we have no idea how he'll do as a head coach. |

The question is whether Luke leaving after "not fitting" with Lewis helps or hurts Luke. Maybe no big deal but not a help, I think, and somewhat hurts any reputation as a hard nosed player who wants coaching and willing to go all out to win. |

Sure, but he has been successful at a lot of stops without notable player issues, and was good enough to coach at the level he has with high recommendations. Given all that, if Luke Brown can't handle criticism from him and get with the program, it is not a plus for Luke. |

Obviously you offered Lewis a discount on your "highly regarded" jock sniffing service................. How do you know what, if anything, happened between Coach Lewis and Luke Brown ? |

Not being in the profession I couldn't begin to know if Lewis is "highly regarded." I can only go by what current and former coaches said when Lewis was hired, all of whom seem to hold him in high regard. Right now that's all we got. As far as what happened between him and Brown, who knows, other than those two? |

Would like to have seen Brown stay. However, his leaving says more about him than Lewis. Lewis seems to be a demanding, hard nosed type that wants to win. If you don’t have the balls to be taught by this demanding person and feel you know it all, than I say, “Good bye and good luck.” It’s better for our team and for you. What was your name anyway?

You have a point about not knowing details, but surely something happened from what little we all do know. Seems to me the issue we are talking about is not fitting with coaching.
Who was that who commented just a day ago about Luke having trouble with coaching? Without knowing any more I do?
BSU fans never got the chance to see the real Luke Brown. Stetson wasn't the correct fit. Whitford wasn't the correct fit. Lewis isn't the correct fit. See a pattern here ? Did you mean something else than what I said? |
