Candidate A is Chris Acker, our presumed new coach according to credible sources.
Candidate B is Gus Argenal. He has CSUSB in the D2 Final 4 in his first season. I'm 100% certain he will be a D1 head coach within 2 years, more likely next season.
I won't be unhappy if Acker is in fact our coach, but I'm disappointed it appears Smitheran didn't bother to look that hard at other candidates. There were rumors last week that Acker was the likely hire. I'll say this - Smitheran had nothing to do with the Aztec basketball program while he was there, so he's probably basing his decision on input from Dutcher and other Aztec administrator buddies who are praising Acker very highly. Those aren't always the best sources for personal references but I hope they're right...
