I should be the next head coach at Marquette
For those of you who haven’t heard, Tom Crean has left Marquette for Indiana. Though he will be missed, it does open up an opportunity for me. I’ve decided to enter my name as a candidate for the position. I know that the average basketball fan probably thinks that I’m not qualified. Well that’s not true. There are two similarities between myself and Crean. First, Tom Crean never had a head-coaching position at the collegiate level before Marquette, and neither do I. Second, he was only 33 years old when he started, just 1 year older than me.
While I have no formal coaching experience, I do have a lengthy basketball resume.
- 4 years of basketball at St. John’s Lutheran Grade School (5th through 8th grade)
- 1 year of freshman basketball at Baraboo Junior High
- 1 year of junior varsity at Baraboo Senior High
- 4 games of varsity at Baraboo Senior High
- 2 years of intramural basketball at Baraboo Senior High
- 2 summers of 3-on-3 basketball in the Noah’s Ark Employee league
- 4 years of Intramural basketball at UW-Whitewater (3-on-3 and 5-on-5 full court)
- countless hours of pickup basketball at UW-Whitewater and the Baraboo Civic Center
As you can see, my credentials are quite impressive. So, Marquette, I’ll be waiting for your call.

Dude
Brilliant post on the MU job–sorry I just saw it now. Pickup games are really where it’s at–all the insiders know. Coach K didn’t learn anything at Army from Coach Knight as everyone believes–he became a Guru on the playground.
Forgot about your Site/Blog until I saw you on Brady St. with that lovely lady on your arm–way to go, stud!!
Anyhow, hope to see you at an Ultimate match somewhere soon.
