Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach

Casper -
If your goal is to become a D1 head coach one day, why is it best to be a small time assistant at a small D1 school vs moving your way up as a head coach (say, JuCo->D3->D2->D1 head).
[/ QUOTE ]Once you leave D1 it is hard to go back. Im not sure exactly why that is, but part of it is that you become apart of that group. All your connections become D3 coaches, ADs, etc- and none of them will do the hiring for D1 jobs.
JUCO is different because you are constantly associated with D1 coaches who are recruiting. There is a good chance that I will be in the JUCO ranks within the next couple of years.
