In this case, it looks like it worked (UMBC just beat Virginia in the biggest upset in the history of sports in the United States).
And there's nothing wrong with that...He'll eventually win a NIT.
First time a 16 seed has every beaten a #1. That streak was almost as long as the all-time losing streak Clemson has at Chapel Hill.In this case, it looks like it worked (UMBC just beat Virginia in the biggest upset in the history of sports in the United States).

Dave Odom rarely got off the bench. I gave him the nick name of Blue Moon because that's how often he got to the dance. He was here to get some money for his war chest.I love Dave Odom and can't believe we followed him with Darrin Horn.
Love to bash Odom almost as much as Ward. With all the MBB coaches that USC could have hired why settle for a has been like the WF coach. I realize the MBB coach position at USC is not like Duke but there had to be someone better than Odom. USC fans had to get out torches and pitchforks to get AD's attention and get rid of Odom.Dave Odom rarely got off the bench.

MBB HC position at USC could have been like Dook's had we stayed in the ACC.Love to bash Odom almost as much as Ward.

Hope USC is over the phase of hiring coaches that are spent but just want to pad their retirement income. Odom was about as exciting as watching paint dry and I was against the hire from the start. It was an Oh NO moment for me when he was hired and an Oh YES moment for WF.
Yeah, big mistake. Dietzel was gonna make us Ala East. That turned out well. USC was reduced to groveling before the ACC in an attempt to get back in but if we had stayed in the ACC we would never have gotten an invite to the SEC so.............MBB HC position at USC could have been like Dook's had we stayed in the ACC.
Agree with your response except for the not getting an SEC invite.Yeah, big mistake. Dietzel was gonna make us Ala East. That turned out well.

Don't hate SEC teams as much or at all compared to the hatred I had for ACC teams and still have to some extent. That hatred made for some exciting games and gloattitude when we beat them.
I read one time that the SEC wouldn't invite a team that was a member of a conference back then. They might have invited Clemson instead of us if Clemson had left the ACC with us.Agree with your response except for the not getting an SEC invite.

I would hope we've learned our lesson regarding hiring someone who went on a hot streak in the tournament with Horn.I bet some schools wish they would have waited - Ole Miss, Georgia. He will be a hot commodity.

You'll forgive me if I never took a conference seriously that didn't compete in all the major sports, especially the one that moves the needle more than any other..I think you meant that the SEC wouldn't invite a school, not a team.
Actually, both USC and Arky were members on conferences when the SEC came calling - the Metro, and the Southwest.
Tell that to they guys who actually played on those teams and celebrated their participation in them.I think our guys decided they wanted a free trip to NY rather than play a few rounds in Peoria. Personally I wish we would turn down NIT bids..never celebrated them at all or saw them as achievements.
Exactly who did you want USC to hire when they hired Odom? At least he had a name and a bit of a track record through the Tim Duncan era. And if I remember correctly, and I do, they tried to lure just about anyone with any level of success, and that included all of the "hot" young coaches of the day. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to be interested. So do you take a chance and hire a total unknown, or go with a Dave Odom. At that point in time, he appeared to be the best option. But seeing the past as we are, is much easier than seeing the future as they had to do on that hire.
That's what I was thinking. I wish Odom well and I suspect he'll get some looks after this tournament run, but that doesn't make it good policy to hire a coach based on two wins, no matter how miraculous they may have been.I would hope we've learned our lesson regarding hiring someone who went on a hot streak in the tournament with Horn.
For others on this board, back when the Metro was founded, almost all members sponsored football, but the league purposely did not sponsor football.You'll forgive me if I never took a conference seriously that didn't compete in all the major sports, especially the one that moves the needle more than any other..
Damn. Another former USC coach that brings out all the haters againIn this case, it looks like it worked (UMBC just beat Virginia in the biggest upset in the history of sports in the United States).
Please don't bring that name to the board. It brings out all the haters who still have to get it their same old licks after all these years. Some can never let it go. Sad.is UMBC coach. He'll definitely be moving on up soon!

Coach Odom is the only person who was ever able to get John Roche to reconnect with the university. We should all be indebted to him for that.
