I know we love to keep tabs on our former coaches - looks like Turgeon has finally landed somewhere that might feel more like "home".

Any chance we can get them on the schedule next year?

Interesting since he's been out of coaching for 5 years. Good for him and best of luck. Would be nice to add them to our non conference schedule.

He would just complain about our attendance

Did he get bored? I always thought he retired a little early.

Yeah I had forgotten this part. Weird deal. I assume something was up in his personal life.

Turgeon stepped down less than one month into the 2020-21 season, shortly after signing a three-year contract extension.

Wouldn't that hurt A&M's NET (among other) rankings

For some reason, I like this hire for both Coach Turgeon and UMKC. That reminds me of also liking the Mack Brown football hire at UNC. And, somehow that morphed into Bill Belichick a few years later. Not sure what an equivalent progression would be for basketball at UMKC.

Larry Eustachy.

Like Belichick, he likes them young.

They've never made the tourney. Could be a fun (much) lower pressure gig in the Southland, but in a major city.

Yeah shame on Mark for wanting A&M to take the next step. Mark should've been happy to coach in an empty Reed. Outside of the Texas, Kansas games.

No. I have been around this place since the Gillispie years.

lol

We averaged 11,582 in conference play under Turgeon (best under any coach) and we had 2 of our 3 BEST season attendance averages under Turgeon in the past 21 years.

Gillispie: 11,453
Kennedy: 8,467
Buzz: 9,665

Best attended games in the Turgeon era

I didn't even know United Methodist - Knight's of Columbus had a squad. Assuming a rec league for senior citizens?

You don't connect with your fanbase by whining but by winning. Turg was one of the biggest whiners ever. And you clearly believed what he was saying only to be corrected by the facts about attendance.

I never liked him. He shoulda quit *****ing and coached better. I wonder if the high maintenance ***** will like his current job any better. Enjoy the big leagues Mark!

Can't both be right? 2 of the 3 best attended seasons ever, but it's still not super impressive unless it's Kansas or Texas?

World class *******. I will never get over his "ridiculous expectations" comments about A&M. And then he goes to Maryland, where they REALLY ARE ridiculous.

I think he would have had a very nice career here had he stayed. But I'm glad he left, even if we had to suffer for a decade and a half.
