If Delaware decides to hire a basketball coach with proven experience leading winning programs, Blaine Taylor fits the bill.
More importantly, after the personal strife that characterized his departure from Old Dominion, Taylor insists he’s also fit to lead.
Taylor, who guided ODU to four NCAA Tournament berths in 12 seasons, said Monday he’s interested in the Delaware coaching job, with which he has considerable familiarity as a former Colonial Athletic Association rival.
“I know my way around the league,” Taylor said, speaking on the phone during a break from a bike ride in Virginia Beach. “When I went to ODU, they needed an experienced guy to come in and put things back together.”
At Delaware, Taylor added, “Somebody needs to come in with a steady hand, soothe the fears —‘We’ll be OK’ — and be a little bit of a pied piper. Why am I drawn to it? I think I can do that stuff. You want to win the CAA, you better know what you’re doing, and I’ve done that several times.”...
