It's obvious that the selection committee isn't 100% sold on TD or else they wouldn't have offered Mack, wouldn't be flirting with Musselman, and they would've just hired TD already. What is the selection committee's big hang up on TD? Seems like TD's positives far outweigh the negatives at this point.

I don't think you can conclude that the committee has a big hang up on TD. Travis isn't going anywhere. The search has not even gone 2 weeks yet. They have a viable candidate in DeCuire, and now I think they are doing more than just due diligence as a formality, they are exploring all options in earnest. They should interview Musselman at the same level as TD, and be open and give him a fair chance. Then based on the interviews and the other information they gather, they should make the choice that gives the program the best chance for success going forward.
As fans, it is hard to sit around and wait for the process to work its way through. But even if they really like DeCuire, there is no harm in being open to other options, and chasing them down completely.

If it is TD it would seem:
-Players would all remain and be all in!!!
-Austrian would come.
-A transfer is coming.
-The recruits would stay.
-Theo is an assistant coach, and can recruit.
This is at a minimum. I'm good with this.
I hope for:
-An experienced Labagh(sp?) from CCSF.
-An article with Monty praising the decision.
-A lot of publicity with the current players praising TD for recruits and their families to see.

Who else is there? We have gotten so many red herrings and rumors that I don't have a clue what we will have when the dust settles.

TD or a monster hire from left field. If they go with Turner I fear that BI will melt down, the internet will crash, Civilization will end and cal basketball will be the least of our problems. Family friends have a small place about 30 miles outside of Julian. You are all invited to come as long as you know how to shoot a .44

The travisty of epic proportions is our program.
The travisty of epic proportions is that nobody really wanted this job but your guy.
A wise and strong AD would have done so much better.

I see nothing racist in 47's comments.
I do however see a "dumbazz" who spelled travesty wrong twice in one post.

if cal wasn't the #1 ranked public university in the world with challenging academics for our student athletes, this is what my recommended coaching staff would look like...all of them would be tremendous recruiters
mack the truck, shaka smart, chaka kahn, mark few, mark more, the miller bros, the marshall plan & kickin' josh pasternack have all built their reps by recuiting dumb azz 2.5 gpa ballers & winning games
the last half a century of cal bb has proven that recruiting/retaining low gpa players will not be a successful strategy in berkeley
the skillset for the next bears staff should include:
*****high character individuals with proven track records of doing things the right way
*****successful recruiters who understand the academic challenges at cal & can relentlessly identify, recruit & retain true student athletes
*****off the charts energy...college bb coaching with its 100+ aau/hs games a yr targeting recruits is best suited to youthful candidates...nobody over 50 with an aarp card is an ideal candidate
*****style of play...bears need to play more up tempo to attract elite players & sell tixs
*****charismatic
with this in mind, my recommended cal bb staff includes:
*****travis decuire, head coach-recommended salary of $950,000, td made $172,000 & montgomery made $1,920,000 in 2012
*****ken bone or justin labagh, associate head coach (blaine taylor is not a good cal fit)-recommended salary of $200,000
*****gregg gottlieb-recommended salary of $175,000, made $166,000 in 2012
*****theo robertson, assistant coach-recommended salary of $135,000
*****john montgomery, director of bb operations-recommended salary of $130,000, made $127,000 in 2012
*****scott thom, s&c (spends more time with the players than the coaches because of ncca regs), recommended salary of $85,000, made an under market value $60,000 in 2012

...wsu hc ken bone (who looks like kenneth the page on 30 rock) looks down the sideline at monty & makes a traveling signal hand motion...mike shakes his head & claps his hands, then bone gives him a quick wink...those of you sleep walking thru life watching cal bb on tv are missing these priceless moments of the haas experience
