Nate Oates, basketball coach

I'd love to get him to Clemson. Great guy and has some big time wins at little Univ of Buffalo. I went on a cruise with his family last year and he caught an Uber with us. Very family first guy with great basketball insight. He had literally just beaten #2 Arizona two weeks before but had booked the cruise months in advance. We watched the Michigan-Nova championship game on a movie theater screen on the ship with his family, great time. Would be a great Clemson fit.

Only question is is he just piggy backing off of Hurley's success at Buffalo or is he successfully keeping it going.

This guy should be our next coach because he was once on the same cruise as you. Got it.
Does DRad know about this?

Finally someone who pays attention to young coaches.
I have been saying Nate Oats for weeks if Clemson was going to make a move.
The question is whether or not he wants to come to a school such as Clemson. I think we would be a hard sell (wanting to fire a 9-9 coach and we don't fill LJ) and he would rather say up nawth.
My guess is that a more invested program in the mid-west swipes him fairly soon.

He is a Midwesterner from Wisconsin and coaches hs ball in Detroit suburbs for awhile. We did talk a good deal of both Clemson and Buffalo basketball and he seemed pretty familiar w both Purnells teams and our recent run last year. Worth taking a shot at. He is a culture fit, reminded me very much of Dabo, super nice to everyone he met, seems to really look out for his players well being outside the game.

Just curious, and I mean nothing ill by my question:
Does your handle, and the fact that you went on a cruise last year, have "Groupon" in common?

Thank you for sharing.
I think he would too. For the OP who said he wouldn't be interested in a place letting go of coach who was 9 and 9 in the conference. That's laughable. Most coaches would love to have close to 10 years to get to a chance to build a consistent program. Brad has had every opportunity. Give that up and go get someone else...
