He felt that Anthony was the best person for the job. I think his MBA experience and working with Donovan was a big plus. We also forget that he had really good success at VCU. I don't think he was hired solely because he was a UD grad.

While I am very concerned about what I've seen so far, I don't think that 4 games is an adequate sample. I also believe that KenPoms stats for this basketball season have enough data points yet.
Fair enough. But the names of the schools that have given us trouble scares the heck out of me. Not even during the Gregory years do I remember a stretch where the Ball St., Hofstas and ODUs of the college basketball world gave us this much trouble. One every now and then but not 3 in 4 games. This is unfamiliar territory, even for a new coach coming in.

Also, let's remember that while the great success of the VCU 2010-2011 team consisted of a lot of AG's players, he was not the coach. So far signs point to him being a great recruiter, but his ability to coach them up and his in game coaching and style is still up for debate.
