I would say yes. If you go back to his VCU teams, they were very good and athletic. But, he won't last long on the unemployment line. Somebody is going to have themselves a very nice coach.
I got a question about Donnie's coaching staff. Specifically Brendan Suhr. Everytime I hear another team's Coaches being interviewed they always focus on the team that they are working for. when Brendan is being interviewed, like this morning on Marc Daniels radio show, he NEVER mentions UCF and only about the broader basketball landscape. Does the dude work for UCF? Shouldn't he at least mention UCF basketball?
Analyst agree he blew the game when he didn't even use one of this 5 timeouts during the last part of the first half when they got steamrolled. Big time rookie mistake.
Love his fire....love his "name" (and notoriety), but his inexperienced bloomed during the later part of the 1st half when the game was actually really won (actually lost...as Buffalo never should have gotten down to almost double digits).
PS. He has one of the most recognizable voices in the game...heard a radio interview of him earlier this week prior to their game...his voice was sooooo recognizable from his playing days...very unique.
