He would've been such a good fit!
Tinkle is 52-76 in conference play since he has been at Oregon State. Because his team had a hot week against mediocre competition we have now decided he is a great coach?
Just asking.
I celebrate his victory, I celebrate the man. He would have been a fine basketball coach for Stanford.
Buddy Teevens was a fine man and a gentleman too. So was Paul Wiggin. Unfortunately that alone does not make a great coach.
If he "rallied his team to play beyond their talent" he must have not had much talent (which of course he is responsible for recruiting and developing also).
