In response to mrjames
The reason to appoint an interim coach is if you can't hire a permanent one, like a midseason resignation. No reason for it here, especially where you don't want to interrupt the delicate momentum the program now has. Also, with Columbia's national reputation and recruiting footprint, it doesn't make sense to hire a coach because he is known at a couple of high schools whose athletic academics don't generate regular, bona fide Ivy candidates. If NYC Catholic school athletes are qualified and would consider staying home, Columbia will be in the mix, especially if Smith's progress is sustained or improved on. I think CU's talent level already is better than Robert Morris and Holy Cross. Why recruit downward?
