Good for him. I've always maintained that Coach Haase is a good coach, he just hasn't shown (yet?) that he is the right coach for Stanford.

How long of a commitment is that? Who is the head coach? Will he lose valuable time forming the team over the summer; getting to know the new players and mending any remaining rifts?

It's a big year for him and Stanford basketball. I hope he can handle all that's on his plate the next 10 months.

so probably about a four week commitment

Reminds me of Dawkins when he first took the Stanford job. Put him behind the 8-ball. Hopefully that won't happen here. Haase has his flaws, but lack of work ethic doesn't seem to be one of them, so maybe he won't suffer as a result of taking this side gig. (Sorry, meant to reply to PVTree.)

Hope he's writing daily missives to potential recruits while he's coaching that national team. Hope he proves all doubters wrong and coaches next season's team deep into the tourney. We'll see.

Despite the reputation of some Stanford coaches, I think it is hard to get to this level of coaching without having made significant sacrifices and having a good work ethic. I think the question on Haase is whether he is working efficiently. Is writing daily hand-written letters the best use of his time? Indeed, that was the critique of Dawkins; I don't think anyone viewed being an assistant coach to the national team as a vacation boondoggle. The critique was that, especially when he was starting out, whether that time could be better used getting to know his team or working on recruiting. I think for a coach who has been here several years, that's less of an issue.

My thought is that this can be great for Stanford recruiting. This gives him an opportunity to meet with athletes that might decide to choose Stanford (as a freshman or a transfer). For others, the fact that he was chosen for this position is another bullet point in favor of Stanford. It also might give Haase better insight into what is important for this cohort of athletes, perhaps giving him a better footing to know what to emphasize to a potential recruit. (Obviously he already is on top of what is important for recruits, but spending time with more of them may give him further insight.)

RE: Haase will be an assistant coach to the U19 team - Papa John - 05-21-2021

For anyone who is interested in the USA FIBA U-19 men's team, the coaching staff is led by Jamie Dixon, former head coach of Pitt and now at TCU. James Jones, head coach at Yale is also on the staff.

I, too, think the positives outweigh the negatives in re: Coach Haase's selection.

Hopefully Haase will focus on defense, not offense.

Lol, Flop

Harrison Ingram will also be a part of the U-19 Training Camp competing for a roster spot

What he's doing is keeping himself "in-play", networked and marketable. Haase will never take Stanford basketball into anything close to an elite level. If he were that guy we'd know by now. Everybody knows this. They just cannot or will not cop to it.

RE: Haase will be an assistant coach to the U19 team - Papa John - 06-04-2021

I suppose it depends on one's definition of elite level, but I guess I'm in the "will not cop to it" category. I haven't given up 100% on Haase at Stanford. But I'd be fine with regular trips to the NCAA tournament and the occasional Sweet Sixteen. Your standards may be higher.

So, may I ask: at what point WOULD you "give up"? BTW, after following Stanford hoops, more or less closely, since the Dallmar days, I would not claim standards any higher than a trip to the dance every other year. Wish I could see some kind of evidence that this was realistic right now. I don't.

Haase (or Adam Cohen) is really good at spotting undeveloped potential. And, he's developed some players (Terry, da Silva, deLaire, etc.) After that, I dunno. Last year's end year cluster @#$% left me cold. I'd love to be wrong as I thought he was an excellent hire.

That is an excellent question! I would have given up this year had it not been for Covid--although I note the injuries, deaths in a player's family, etc.

However, I am optimistic that the 2021-22 basketball season will approach normal in terms of the external factors that derailed 2020-21. If that comes to pass, then I will give up on Haase if Stanford does not make the NCAA tournament this coming year.
