Head Coach Candidates

Don't think it'd be an issue to have Jack McClinton on the staff as a GA or DOBO. Those are usually the spots for guys looking to break in to the college basketball coaching world. I think the 3 top assistant coaching spots on staff should go to people with experience and/or with connections to elite players. Something I don't think Jack has at this point.

He's a Baltimore native and if he still has connections there, he could be useful. Bmore being a premier urban hoops hotbed. Can GAs recruit?

Officially, GA's are allowed to go on the road and actively recruit, but more times than not it's left up to the HC what roles a particular GA would fill. Usually, off campus recruiting is left to the HC and his first three assistants. Roles for GA's vary, but it's likely they're relegated to mostly on campus duties, such as, working out players, breaking down film, scouting, etc. When it comes to recruiting they're usually asked to stay in house and help with on campus visits and to stay in contact with their people and recruit kids they have ins with.
