Would have to think that Missouri did him in. Coaching in the pros also meams he doesn't have to recruit in Detroit. Also think that Capel may have lost the Duke job while at Oklahoma.
Quin has shown himself to be a remarkable NBA coach. He got a Coach-of-the-Year vote from Zach Lowe, the best NBA writer out there. I'm sure he got many others and may well win. Has he "played his way" into the Coach K retirement-replacement discussion or did the Missouri debacle end any such thoughts for good?

Nah, just merge it into the NBA Playoff Collector Thread, where Troublemaker already posted about the Zach Lowe article this morning.
I believe this too, and it's a shame.
I don't think there's much doubt that when it comes to having raw coaching ability, the ability to motivate players, and just insane intelligence, that Snyder is the best of the Coach K tree. He was named assistant head coach at a very young age at Duke...then the Missouri success, and now the NBA success. He's paid his dues. He's won respect wherever he's been post Missouri. If K were to be good with it, I'd love to see him as the successor.
But I'm not betting on it.
I believe that the NCAA violations the Missouri team had related to recruits in the Detroit area. Not a Missouri fan and it has been some time ago. Probably should not have posted without research, Quinn succeeded a legendary coach. Had a few good years at Mo. Should probably have been really successful there, but recruiting is tough, and assistants can create problems that head coaches must answer. Ask the guys in Louisville, or Arizona.
(Seems Ok.State head coach not only survived, but got extension and raise, Who knows?)
