CBS took a poll of coaches as to who was the best off-season hire.
#1 - Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska
#2 - Buzz Williams, TAMU
#3 - Mick Cronin - UCLA
All three of those are quality hires. Expect Hoiberg to do at Nebraska what he did at Iowa State, although it might take a little longer, which is not a bad thing. Buzz Williams at Texas A&M was a home run in every respect. Cronin in Tinseltown is a little more problematical, given the culture there, but I am betting that he will win over the fans, bring a new look to west coast basketball, and get the job done. There again, it may take him a while to get a roster of players who buy into his philosophy of take-no-prisoners defense.
