We hired Haase basically based on a single good season, and I think we'd be doing the same with Smith.
And it's not just one good season from Smith--it's more like one good player. It's safe to say that if Isaac Jones hadn't transferred to WSU, WSU isn't in the Tourney, and Smith isn't a candidate for the MBB job, right? Maybe we shouldn't be hiring people who were one transfer player away from not being a candidate?
On the other hand, Smith might be the best we can get. Bleh.
I want a coach who can actually coach. Do you think the talent on WSU's roster this year is better than Stanford's talent this year? I don't. Yet WSU is in into the round of 32. I don't care if the next coach is Smith - just get somebody who knows what to do with the players available.
