In baketball we had Dallmar for 21 seasons, Montgomery for 18, Everett Dean for 11, and lately and somewhat notoriously Dawkins for 8. Even the hapless Richard DiBiaso stuck around for 7.  Not a lot of guys have won and moved to better jobs, though this is partly because not a lot of guys have won. Davis did get out as soon as he could - but the winning was marginal. Montgomery left for the pros, but 18 seasons was a pretty good run. Trent Johnson sort of did, but that may have had an assist from Bowlsby.


I have no idea what Haase thinks of Stanford long term, and probably Haase doesn't really know either. I think our recent developments in football have shown that if successful, Stanford will pay a coach a competitive salary if not top of the line.  If Haase does plan to return to Kansas, then he has a lot more winning to do first and that would leave us in a better situation than we sit in now.

Monty to the Dubs was definitely a step up.  Johnson to LSU more of a lateral move - our program was pretty strong then and LSU wasn't as great as it was in the Shaq era.

Haase moving up is predicated on success, but I think we need to remember that this program isn't close to what it once was in terms of desire/prestige. I'll be surprised if Haase is still here in 5 years but I hope he leaves because he has brought back a little bile & bite to Maples and had at least a couple 23+ win seasons.
