ORUTerry Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Wow. Hate to see him leave - but congrats to coach Bozeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Good programs lose their assistant coaches to better jobs. And for that very reason, they are able to hire even better assistants to take their place. Congratulations to Coach Bozeman on the new gig; very curious to see who will take his place on the ORU bench this coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Congrats to coach Solo on the opportunity. Bummer to lose him. I loved his fire on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUIllini Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I would think coming off the Sweet 16 run would garner some interest from higher profile assistants from around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I’m trying to think of the last ORU assistant coach to leave for a D1 head coaching job? The only one I can recall is Bobby Watson, from Jerry Hale’s staff in the mid-70’s, who took over at Evansville and was tragically killed a season or two later when the team charter plane crashed, killing all aboard. Not sure Evansville was a D1 school at the time, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think it is Bobby Watson....what a nice guy he was....such a tragic end.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Coach Solo has great contacts in Arkansas and will certainly bring a string work effort to Pine Bluff. Hope he does well there. Wonder if he will schedule us in next couple of years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Congrats to Coach Solo on the head job at UAPB. They have struggled in recent years so he can help that program to improve in many ways. Not sure if he is allowed to move from the womens to mens team but Lee Mayberry would be a great assisstant to add to Coach Mills staff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcboy2000 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised if Conley is lobbying for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Lee Mayberry and Conley Phipps are too old for this position on the current ORU staff. The proper candidate will be younger, a dynamic personality, someone who doesn't mind being on the road looking for "The Next Great Hidden Gem", while keeping after the current roster like a young dad/older brother. I'm betting it will be a former player at a major university and/or the pros, perhaps a name we are all familiar with from that period of his life, in his late 20's or early 30's. (...but don't think for a minute that I actually have any inside scoop on this hiring; this is merely summertime pie-in-the-sky speculation on my part) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Coach Bozeman just got his first transfer: K. Milton from Western Kentucky. Milton orginally signed to play at ORU but then went to graduate school for more basketball training before signing with Western Kentucky. Maybe Coach Boz will also go after former Eagles: Sheldon Stevens and D Jones. Might as well use his former connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
