Is Billy Grier the new coach?

According to the Oregonian...

It's being reported that Billy Grier is our new men's basketball coach. If this is true, does his hiring get the seats at Gill filled? Will he be able to handle the pressure and expectations that goes along with the Pac-10? And my biggest question... is he the right choice?

We need a coach with experience in the big-leagues and even though he was an assistant coach at Gonzaga and recently the head coach at the University of San Diego, can he bring in the recruits and return the program to at least a moderate level of success? ################### I guess Grier wasn't the guy! However Canzano (from the Oregonian) is touting Ken Bone. He's *definitely* not the coach for the job. Maybe after Bone gets some experience in the "big leagues" but right now we need a total rebuild and that going to take someone who knows how to perform major surgery. Canzano, as always, stirring his odd witches brew...

Seems good

This hire (if true) seems like it will be a good hire. Although he doesn't have a lot of head coaching experience, his one year as a head coach ended in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament and a 22-14 record.

And as for filling the seats, once the Beavers start to win consistently the seats will get filled.
