gold sunrise Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Who is going to follow Donnie Tyndall at Morehead State? It might be a competition between two former University of Kentucky point guards — and not John Wall and Brandon Knight. How about Saul Smith and Sean Woods? Smith, of course, has worked as one of his father’s top assistants at Minnesota for the last five seasons. Tubby has entrusted him with a ton of recruiting and scouting work — and Saul has always been great interacting with the media. Woods won the SWAC at Mississippi Valley State this season. His teams have improved every year — jumping from 7-25 to 9-23 to 13-19 to 21-13. He was a runner-up to Tyndall for the job at Southern Mississippi. One other name to note: Pikeville coach Kelly Wells. He was named NAIA Coach of the Year last season. He played at Morehead State and Rowan County High School. A group of solid candidates for Morehead to consider. UK Point Guard Competition For Morehead Job? | Rick Bozich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watusi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Would it be a good idea for Smith to return to Kentucky? I'm not so sure. Woods would flourish, Wells would be a home run, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugatti Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 To me it seems like Woods could do better if he was in contention for Southern Miss. I would not bring Smith back to Kentucky. Wells would be great for obvious reasons. I think Pelphrey could do better. I know Tyndall obviously built some cache with the program, but is Morehead State considered an attractive OVC job?

LRCW Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Give it to Scott Humphrey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealcoach Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think Kelly Wells is the man for the job. He would embrace the Morehead community and love being home. He has proven at UPIKE that he can win and recruit. I think he would do a great job at MSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahearme Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 What about Darrin Horn? I don't know if he would be interested in taking a step (or two) back down the coaching ladder, but it might just be what he needs at this point in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold sunrise Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Give it to Scott Humphrey. He is happy where he is...... What about Darrin Horn? I don't know if he would be interested in taking a step (or two) back down the coaching ladder, but it might just be what he needs at this point in his career. I agree with you, I think Darrin would be a great choice, along with Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold sunrise Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 The Wells name is big in Morehead. Didn't he apply when they hired Tyndall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How many of these are there? I am talking about overall community support and facilities. Murray State, Belmont, and APSU I assume would be at the top of the list as far as OVC schools go. Just like in any conference there would be a pecking order of tradition and university commitment.

Big Slick Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Didn't he apply when they hired Tyndall? His name was mentioned an awful lot, but I am not sure if applied or not. But would be a good choice now regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
