Originally posted by yote4life View PostMueller was complaining about being bitten in the thigh. He was trying to show the ref the teeth marks.
Hansen has been hired. He had a guy about 7 feet tall on campus today, does anyone know who that would be? It sounds like you guys have some good things to say about Austin. I hope he is good. If he's as good of a coach as he was a player then I will be very happy.
See post #53. I believe there is a 7 footer that is leaving Nebraska.

Re: USD Hires Craig Smith
It's kind of strange that Hansen's twitter feed has nothing about this supposed move, isn't it?

Originally posted by SanDakotaState View PostI'm not believing it until USD announces it. I can't find anything that Hansen is leaving UNC. How much is Hansen making at UNC? I doubt USD will be able to offer him that much more money for him to leave UNC after 1 year just to become another assistant coach.

Originally posted by GoJacks2011 View PostFirst post ever on here. I'm in med school down here at USD and was at the wellness center and swore I saw Austin with this really tall recruit this afternoon but then second guessed myself. I saw him again later walking out and was even more certain it was him. Haven't seen anything in the news though to confirm it.

Re: USD Hires Craig Smith
Originally posted by JackJD View PostStill looking for some 'official' announcement of Austin going to USD.
It looks like there are several approaches to resume building for college basketball coaches including the following two: 1) stay hitched to a famous coach for a lot of years and then look for your own program or 2) move around and get some experience at different schools under different coaches. Austin is doing the latter. It will be interesting to see what his pay level will be and compare it to what he received at N Colorado.
I think the second- or third-to-last basketball game I attended at USD was when Austin's team played the 'Yotes, featuring Osama Bin Mueller. I watched Mueller intentionally cut Austin's legs out from under him when Austin was going up for a shot and Austin was injured -- my memory is that he missed several games. Later in that game, Derek Schantz evened the score with a just-as-intentional elbow to Mueller's nose as Schantz was at the top of the key and Mueller was chasing the Jackrabbit with the ball. Mueller went to his knees with a well-bloodied nose, imploring the ref to do something, arms extended, palms up, in the "WTF?" gesture. I don't think the refs saw a thing but if they did, they had to be thinking "you deserved it -- no call, buddy, go stuff some cotton up your nose".

Originally posted by SkippyJack View PostAustin Hansen is an excellent recruiter- he brings a lot to the table. He is an honest and sincere person who won't blow smoke about a recruits abilities but will inspire confidence because he is approachable, organized, has the ability to speak to young men on their level and has a degree of authority because he has been there and done that. He knows the recruiting scene extremely well locally but won't limit himself to location if he finds the right recruit further afield. An excellent hire for USD. I think the Jacks suffered when he left us.

Re: USD Hires Craig Smith
Without Austin Hansen, SDSU men's basketball team would be a shell of itself.
