That would be a great hire, IMO.

There is no ground upon which you could conclude he would be successful. He has been a head coach 4 years, and had a decent year in his fourth season. Geno Fordish?

Is there a magic formula that concludes that someone will be successful?

The problem with Geno Ford/Bradley was the fit of the school.

Furman is a private school which is more similar to Drake than Kent State is to Bradley.

Too many differences to make that direct comparison. To start with, Medved has coached at a variety of different types of programs...non-DI, low-level DI, high major, you name it. He has also done it in different parts of the country...South Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado. Additionally he has done it working for coaches like Tim Miles, Dan Monson, Jim Molinari, and Larry Davis (who was Cincinnati's interim head coach for Cronin a couple years ago.) Guys who either had success or at least have insight at coaching at a variety of levels.

Geno Ford had never been out of the state of Ohio professionally, and outside of two non-DI jobs had no experience outside the MAC prior to taking the Bradley job, and with a much more limited coaching network.

I wonder about Augustana coach Grey Giovanine-his team has been a DIII power, and they lost the national championship game by a single point over the weekend.

There was purportedly mutual interest between he and Bradley last time around.

I have no clue who Drake should hire but they need to find an undiscovered energetic young guy that can recruit and bring excitement to the program.

Have never understood why Drake continues to struggle in basketball. They have a great university in a larger metro area and a decent arena. They should be able to pull recruits out of Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City and the Twin Cities every year.

They are bound to get it right on a coach sooner or late as long as they are looking in the right places!

Giovanine is very close with Ray Giacoletti. For that reason, I don't see it happening.
