<mask>, in his later life called <mask> Elder, now sometimes known for convenience as <mask> (14 April 1677 – 5 May 1717), was the first and best known of several men of that name. Born into an English Quaker family that played an important role in the Industrial Revolution, Darby developed a method of producing pig iron in a blast furnace fuelled by coke rather than charcoal. This was a major step forward in the production of iron as a raw material for the Industrial Revolution. Early life
<mask> was the son of <mask>, a yeoman farmer and locksmith by trade, and his wife Ann Baylies. He was born at Wren's Nest in Woodsetton, Staffordshire, now part of Dudley, West Midlands. He was descended from nobility; his great-grandmother Jane was an illegitimate child of Edward Sutton, 5th Baron Dudley. <mask>'s great-grandmother was a sister of the whole blood to Dud Dudley, who claimed to have smelted iron using coke as a fuel.Unfortunately, the iron that Dudley produced was not acceptable to the charcoal ironmasters. However, this may have inspired his great-grandnephew <mask> to perfect this novel method of smelting. In Birmingham in the early 1690s <mask> was apprenticed to Jonathan Freeth, a fellow Quaker and a manufacturer of brass mills for grinding malt. Here Darby would have seen the use of coke to fuel malting ovens, preventing the sulphur content of coal contaminating the resulting beer, but also avoiding the use of the scarcer charcoal as a fuel. The combination of these two insights was to lead to <mask>'s development of the coke-fuelled blast furnace in 1709. Freeth encouraged <mask> to become a highly active member in the Society of Friends, and he remained so all his life. In 1699, when he completed his apprenticeship, he married Mary Sergeant (1678–1718) and moved to Bristol, where he set himself up as a malt mill maker.Bristol
There was a small community of Quakers in Bristol, and Darby soon gained a reputation for skill and enterprise. In 1702 <mask> joined a number of fellow Quakers to form the Bristol Brass Company, with works at Baptist Mills in Bristol. He brought in 'Dutchmen' to operate a brass battery work, making cooking pots and other holloware under a trip hammer. He also developed a method for casting pots in 'greensand' moulds, previously only used for smaller castings. This enabled pots and cauldrons to be mass-produced and to be thinner than those made by the traditional process of casting in loam moulds. For this purpose, he established the Cheese Lane Foundry in 1704. Initially he cast brass pots, but by 1705, he moved on to using iron.A young Welsh apprentice, John Thomas, solved the problem by using sand for the mould, with a special casting box and core. Using this casting method Darby could cast pots of sufficient thinness and lightness. Darby took out a patent on the new casting method in 1707, <mask>'s successors sold cooking pots over wide areas of England and Wales, and had a virtual monopoly in the trade. For this he used a reverberatory air furnace of a kind developed by Sir Clement Clerke, initially for smelting lead near Bristol, and applied by him or his son Talbot to iron founding at Vauxhall. Copper at Coalbrookdale
In 1700, another group of Bristol Quakers (including Edward Lloyd and Charles Harford) had agreed to set up a brass works 'somewhere in England'. It is not clear where, but by 1712, Caleb Lloyd, Jeffrey Pinnell, <mask> and his brother-in-law Thomas Harvey had brass works at Coalbrookdale. This is likely to be linked to an increase in shipment of 'Callumy'  (Calamine) up the river Severn from 1704 and <mask>'s agreement in 1710 to open a copper mine at Harmer Hill in Myddle, on behalf of a 'Company of the City of Bristol'.However, <mask> was not a partner in establishing Tern Mill, near Tern Hall (now Attingham Park) in 1709, though his partners Thomas Harvey, Lloyd and Pinnell were. At this point <mask> decided to leave the brass company and concentrate on his iron founding pursuits. Coalbrookdale furnace

Darby leased the furnace in September 1708, and set to work preparing to get it into blast. His first account book, running from 20 October 1708 to 4 January 1710 survives. This shows the production of 'charked' coal in January 1709 and the furnace was brought into blast on 10 January. Darby sold 81 tons of iron goods that year. The furnace was used for the first time on 10 January 1709 and the blast appears to have been successful.<mask> was probably helped by the fact that the Shropshire 'clod coal' that he was using was fairly sulphur-free. However, experimentation with different fuels continued for some time; for example cargoes of coal were brought up the Severn from Bristol and Neath. Some of the molten iron from the blast was run into pigs and sent down the Severn for use in Bristol foundries, but much of it was used to cast pots and other cast iron goods. The reasons why the iron produced by <mask> was not used in forges to make wrought iron have been much debated. The reason may be partly that his pig iron was better for castings than charcoal pig iron, but the presence of silicon as an impurity made it an unattractive feedstock for finery forges. However recent work has thrown doubt on this explanation, which is based on data from the 1720s when the Coalbrookdale Company operated a forge: the forge could hardly even make a profit with charcoal pit iron. The business was partly financed by a loan from Thomas Goldney <mask> of Bristol and by Graffin Prankard and James Peters becoming partners.Later John Chamberlayne became a partner, and <mask>'s brother-in-law Thomas Baylies a manager. Expansion
In 1712 Darby offered to instruct William Rawlinson, a fellow Quaker and ironmaster, in the techniques of smelting with coke. Apparently, Rawlinson, the founder of the Backbarrow Iron Company in Furness, did not take up the offer. In 1714, <mask> and his partners renewed their lease (effective from 1717) and then built a second blast furnace. This was slightly more productive in the 1720s than the Old Blast Furnace. It is not clear when this furnace began production but it was certainly in use by 1718. The company also secured Vale Royal Furnace in central Cheshire, but this did not come into their possession before <mask>'s death.Afterward, it was taken over by Thomas Baylies with other partners. The Company embarked on a similar venture at Dolgûn, near Dolgellau, where John Kelsall was appointed as clerk, but it is probable that the furnace there was not finished until after <mask> died, when his widow and the other partners sold off their lease. Death
After 18 months' illness, <mask> died on 5 May 1717, at his home, Madeley Court, Madeley, Shropshire, aged 39. He had built a house for himself in Coalbrookdale but did not live to occupy it. He was buried in the Quaker burial-ground at Broseley, Shropshire. His widow died only a few months later. New company
<mask>'s death left the affairs of the business in a mess.His own shares were mortgaged to Thomas Goldney, who then exchanged the debt for eight shares (of 16) in the business. Richard Ford, who married <mask>'s daughter Mary, had two shares and became manager, but on the widow's death Thomas Baylies took out letters of administration as a creditor and sought to sell the works. Darby's eldest son, <mask> <mask>, was only six years old and his two brothers younger still. Accordingly, their uncle Joshua Sergeant bought back some of the shares on behalf of the Darby children. The children were sent away to school, and <mask> began assisting in the management of the works in 1728 and he was awarded four shares in the company in 1732. Legacy

<mask> made an important step towards the Industrial Revolution. His method of casting pots in sand provided his successors with a viable business that operated for over two centuries.Smelting iron with coke ultimately released the iron industry from the limitation imposed by the preliminary step of "charcoal burning" where trees were first cut and burned to make charcoal. It also shifted the fuel used for making steel from renewable wood, to a fossil fuel, and so helped preserve native woodland. Coke-smelted cast iron went into steam engines, bridges, and many of the inventions of the 19th century. Coke smelting made possible the great quantities of iron produced which drove the Industrial Revolution. See also

<mask> () was a Lebanese politician who on two occasions became Prime Minister of Lebanon. He was born in 1892 to the <mask> Family. He was the younger brother of <mask>, the Head of Beirut Vilayet that time (pre-Greater Lebanon) before the French Mandate of Lebanon. <mask> was known for being one of few men to ever serve as prime minister of Lebanon in the  French Mandate of Lebanon and the First Republic of Lebanon (1943-1991). Sami Solh also served within these two periods. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Ras Beirut in 1892. After completing his secondary studies in a French school in Beirut in 1910, <mask> went to France to continue his studies where he obtained a diploma in engineering from the National School of Arts and Crafts of Aix-en-Provence in 1914.Early career
<mask>'s notable career began in 1915 where he worked as an engineer at the Société Générale des Sucreries within the refinery industry of Egypt. In 1919 he was assigned personally by His Majesty King Hussein I of Hejaz, as his technical adviser and he was put in charge of the mining industry in Hejaz. Upon returning from Hejaz to Lebanon, <mask> was appointed by His Excellency Charles Debbas as both the Mayor of Beirut and Aley. This was of course just 8 years after Omar Bey <mask> was the Mayor of Beirut and the head of Beirut Vilayet in 1918 before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. <mask> was Mayor until 1941 until he was appointed as Prime Minister of Lebanon. In 1927 <mask> became an influential philanthropist in Beirut. Throughout this period <mask> was influential along other political figures in visioning Lebanon's independence carving the path towards it.First Mandate

<mask>'s first mandate was during the French Mandate when, after having served as Secretary of State for Public Works and Post Telephone and Telegraph earlier in 1941, he was appointed Prime Minister 1941 to 1942 during the rule of President Alfred Naqqache by the President of Lebanon. His first mandate was renowned for helping pave the way for Lebanon's independence, after he had stepped down from his role in 1942 increasing the pressure asserted on France's actions by the United Kingdom and the western powers. Although he had very close ties with France on the political sphere, <mask> was known for fully supporting the idea of a free and independent Lebanese republic. Upon resignation, as Sunni Muslim judge from Sidon known as Sami Solh was appointed as <mask>'s successor

Diplomatic career

In 1943, <mask> became the President of the National Congress of Lebanon right after he completed his term as Prime Minister, or what was called the President of Councils before 1943. In 1944 <mask> was chosen as the consul of Lebanon to France he would become an ambassador in 1953 and remain at that position within his diplomatic mission for another five years until his return in 1958. His diplomatic mission was widely supported by the Lebanese as he severely re-strengthened Lebanon's ties with France, while Camile Chamoun was shifting Lebanon's ties towards the United States. In 1958 <mask> was appointed ambassador to Spain where he strengthened the ties between Lebanon and Spain and promoted economic and political cooperation in various projects within Lebanon.A program was also launched to attract and re-invite the Lebanese diaspora that had left Lebanon earlier to Latin America. <mask> has also been a delegate of Lebanon in many conferences within the United Nations, Arab League and UNESCO. After his second mandate, <mask> became a director of the OGERO group, Lebanon's telecommunications company, he also had an intuitive role in real estate. Second Mandate

Upon the election of Fuad Chehab as President of Lebanon, he dissolved the Lebanese parliament on 5 May 1960. This forced Prime Minister Karami to resign later on 14 May 1960. On 15 May 1960, <mask> took initiative and formed an interim government while heading it as Prime Minister to hold back the increasing tensions in Lebanon during the political vacuum of the early 60s. The Lebanese Parliamentary elections were held and finalized by 3 July 1960.<mask>'s interim government granted 11 seats to Karami's party in the Chamber of Deputies whereas the independent politicians (of whom <mask> was one) were granted 41 out of 99 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. This paved the way for Saeb Salam's election later that year. In addition, <mask> was also Minister of National Defense and Minister of Finance during the initial 1960's. His policies were credible as they contributed to Lebanon's booming economy in the 1960s where the Lebanese were among the wealthiest 30 nations in the world. Diplomatic career
In 1944 <mask> was chosen as the consul of Lebanon to France he would become an ambassador in 1953 and remain at that position within his diplomatic mission for another five years until his return in 1958. In 1958 <mask> was appointed ambassador to Spain where he strengthened the ties between Lebanon and Spain and promoted economic and political cooperation in various projects within Lebanon. A program was also launched to attract and re-invite the Lebanese diaspora that had left Lebanon earlier to Latin America.<mask> has also been a delegate of Lebanon in many conferences within the United Nations, Arab League and UNESCO. After his second mandate, <mask> became a director of the OGERO group, Lebanon's telecommunications company, he also had an intuitive role in real estate. Personal life
Outside Parliament, <mask> was noted by others to be very similar to his iconic brother Omar. Omar Bey <mask> was quoted by Michel Chiha's personal observations:

“…My recently departed friend had all the characteristics of a sage. Both in private and in public, he was an upstanding citizen. We were both members of the first committee that saw to the birth of our nation’s Constitution. He was known for his quiet discernment, his respect for the rights of others, for his perfect understanding of the country’s multiplicity, his sense of harmony and his recognition of the political and social benefits that Greater Lebanon offered all its citizens.He saw in it the possibilities of a multi-communal society. More at home behind the scenes, his advice was often called upon in matters of state or business. The nation will always remember what he stood for and will always be grateful for the public contributions of this exemplary man…”

<mask> (18 April 1896 – 25 January 1969) was a French aviator, explorer and businessman. He mapped and commercially exploited the longest automobile route in the world, linking the Mediterranean to the Niger, Chad and Congo. His company ran a network of automobile transport lines across the Sahara, and later provided air service between many of the French colonies in Africa. The demand from tourists collapsed with the Algerian War (1954–62), and eventually Estienne's companies were taken over by the government of independent Algeria. Early years

<mask>'s family originated in Lorraine. He was the third son of General <mask>, polytechnician, who was known for developing armored vehicles and the tank. The four Estienne boys were brought up with military discipline.After the outbreak of World War I (1914–18), in September 1914 <mask> enlisted at the age of eighteen. He served with the fourth battalion of Chasseurs Alpins in the campaigns in Belgium, the Somme and the Vogues. He asked to be transferred to aviation, and quickly distinguished himself as a specialist in long-range reconnaissance. By the age of twenty-one he had earned seven citations, and had been awarded the military medal and the Legion of Honour. Early Sahara crossings
After the war, influenced by his father, <mask> became attracted to the Sahara. At the time the Sahara was mostly within the French colonial empire, and had not yet been fully explored by Europeans. The main means of travel was by camel in caravans.Gaston Gradis directed the first expedition to cross the Sahara from north to south by car. For this purpose, on 23 May 1923 he founded the Compagnie Générale Transsaharienne (CGT). The retired General Jean Baptiste <mask> was made president of the company. The purpose of the company was to "study, establish and exploit land and air communications between the various territories of the African continent,
particularly between Algeria and Niger." It was decided to send a reconnaissance under lieutenant <mask> as far as Tessalit to study the route,
and if results were favorable to send a second led by Gaston Gradis to the Niger River. The first mission was led by <mask>, with his brother René and lieutenant Hubel,
accompanied by four legionnaires and four Citroën mechanics. They travelled from Béni Ounif to Adrar, Algeria, and onward to Tessalit, then returned to Colomb-Béchar.Four Citroën cars with Kégresse tracks towed a Nieuport-Delage aircraft with folding wings covered by a huge white tarpaulin. The mission left Adrar on 17 November 1923, reached Tessalit on 30 November, and returned to Adrar on 13 December, having mapped a shorter route than those known before, over excellent terrain. A second exploratory expedition left Colomb-Béchar at midnight on 25 January 1924, headed by Gaston Gradis, with three large six-wheel Renault cars with double tires. Gradis was accompanied by the Estienne brothers, M. Schwob, an engineer from Renault, and three mechanics. After reaching Adrar the expedition left for the south in two vehicles, following the tracks of the November reconnaissance expedition, which were still visible. The six-wheel cars proved faster than the Citroën caterpillars. This expedition reached Gao, on the Niger River, and returned to Béchar on 1 March 1924.Gradis was optimistic about the potential for aerial travel along this route. The second Gradis expedition left Colomb-Béchar on 15 November 1924 in three six-wheel Renaults. Gradis was accompanied by the journalist Henri de Kérillis, and Marshal Louis Franchet d'Espèrey was accompanied by commandant Ihler. The Estienne brothers again joined the expedition. The other members were three Renault mechanics and three legionnaires. The expedition reached Savé in Dahomey on 3 December 1924 after a journey of . The expedition leaders took the train south, and reached Porto-Novo on the Atlantic on 14 December 1924.They then returned to Europe by boat, while the <mask> brothers raced back from Savé to Colomb Bechar in six days, setting a new record for long-distance speed in Africa. Trans-Saharan transport

The trans-Saharan expedition was acclaimed as a great success, but <mask> was not satisfied due to the huge resources that had been required. The two brothers returned to improve the track. In February 1926 they marked out the route from Adrar so vehicles could find their way in sands storms and heat haze. At each kilometer on the  route they placed a numbered barrel with a water reserve. This was the famous "Bidon V" route. <mask> became head of the CGT.In April 1926 he and <mask> created a "sleeping car", a moving hotel that made it possible to cross the Tanezrouft in comfort. To publicize the practicality of the crossing, in 1927 <mask> traveled alone from Oran to Niamey in five days as part of an eleven-day journey from Paris to Fort-Lamy. On 18 May 1927 René was killed when a convoy of trucks he was in was attacked by robbers on the road from Tafilalt. <mask> continued without his brother, and pushed the track through to Gao. The route soon became popular for sporting expeditions. <mask> married in 1927, and had two sons and two daughters. The family settled in the Nice area.In 1928 he resigned from the army to dedicate himself to the CGT. In 1933 he resigned from the CGT and became involved in opening the oasis route through the Hoggar Mountains. He was made head of the Société Algérienne des Transports Tropicaux (SATT). He and his brother Jean were major shareholders of the SATT. The Hoggar route made it possible to travel from Algiers to Kano in eleven days. In 1934 the line was extended to Fort Lamy. This was the longest route in the world with regular automobile transport.Estienne established and operated trans-Saharan lines for thirty-eight years from his office in Algiers. He built workshops at Fort-de-l'Eau, Algiers to maintain his rolling stock. During World War II (1939–45) SATT continued its automobile service. After the allies landed in French North Africa the company was allowed to use whatever aircraft it had, which was in effect nothing. In 1945 its automobile fleet had 150 vehicles and with the acquisition of aircraft was able to obtain enough revenue to create the subsidiary Aéro-Africaine with a capital of 10 million. The airline was headed by <mask>. From 11 May 1946 the airline was authorized to provide regular transport from Algiers to fifteen locations among the southern oases and the Hoggar.On 29 October 1946 it obtained permission for an extension to Nice, taking tourists from there via Algiers to the Hoggar. After 1946 SATT expanded to become the Société Africaine des Transports Tropicaux, with expanding tourist operations. By 1949 the air network was serving many of the French African colonies from Bamako to Bangui from its hub at Tamanrasset in the Hoggar. Planes in the early days included NC.702 Martinets, De Havilland Dragon Rapides, Douglas DC-3s, Lockheed L-18s and Lockheed C-60s. When the Algerian War began in 1954 tourism disappeared. The Aéroafricaine lines were taken over the Air Algeria. In 1963 the Algerian state took over the companies without compensation.Estienne died in 1969. Publications

<mask> (born 20 February 1947) is a British philosopher who is John Dewey Professor Emeritus of philosophy at Columbia University. He specialises in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of biology, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of literature, and more recently pragmatism. Life and career
Born in London, <mask> spent his early life in Eastbourne, East Sussex, on the south coast of the United Kingdom, where another distinguished philosopher of an earlier generation (A.J. Ayer) was also at school. <mask> himself went to school at Christ's Hospital, Horsham, West Sussex. He earned his B.A. in Mathematics/History and Philosophy of Science from Christ's College, Cambridge in 1969, and his PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from Princeton University in 1974, where he worked closely with Carl Hempel and Thomas Kuhn.<mask> is currently John Dewey Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Columbia University. As chair of Columbia's Contemporary Civilization program (part of its undergraduate Core Curriculum), he also held the James R. Barker Professorship of Contemporary Civilization. Before moving to Columbia, <mask> taught at the University of Vermont, Vassar College, The University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, and for several years at University of California, San Diego where he held the position of Presidential Professor of Philosophy. <mask> is past president of the American Philosophical Association. In 2002, <mask> was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he was awarded the inaugural Prometheus Prize from the American Philosophical Association in 2006 in honour of extended achievement in the philosophy of science. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2018. <mask> was Editor-in-Chief of the journal Philosophy of Science from 1994 to 1999, was also a member of the NIH/DOE Working Group on the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project from  1995 to 1997.He has trained a number of prominent philosophers of science, including Peter Godfrey-Smith (University of Sydney), Kyle Stanford (University of California, Irvine), and Michael R. Dietrich (University of Pittsburgh). He also taught C. Kenneth Waters (University of Calgary) and Michael Weisberg (University of Pennsylvania) as undergraduates. He is married to <mask>. She is a well known Kant scholar and philosopher of mind who has been the Mark Van Doren Professor of Humanities at Columbia. Their son, <mask>, is the Associate General Counsel for the Federal Election Commission. Philosophical work
Within philosophy, <mask> is best known for his work in philosophy of biology, science, and mathematics, and outside academia for his work examining creationism and sociobiology. His works attempt to connect the questions raised in philosophy of biology and philosophy of mathematics with the central philosophical issues of epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.He has also published papers on John Stuart Mill, Kant and other figures in the history of philosophy. His 2012 book documented his developing interest in John Dewey and a pragmatic approach to philosophical issues. He sees pragmatism as providing a unifying and reconstructive approach to traditional philosophy issues. He had, a year earlier, published a book outlining a naturalistic approach to ethics, The Ethical Project (Harvard University Press, 2011). He has also done work on the philosophy of climate change. Criteria for what constitutes "good science"

<mask>'s three criteria for good science are:

1. Independent testability of auxiliary hypotheses
 "An auxiliary hypothesis ought to be testable independently of the particular problem it is introduced to solve, independently of the theory it is designed to save" (e.g.the evidence for the existence of Neptune is independent of the anomalies in Uranus's orbit). 2. Unification
 "A science should be unified .... Good theories consist of just one problem-solving strategy, or a small family of problem-solving strategies, that can be applied to a wide range of problems". 3. Fecundity
 "A great scientific theory, like Newton's, opens up new areas of research... Because a theory presents a new way of looking at the world, it can lead us to ask new questions, and so to embark on new and fruitful lines of inquiry... Typically, a flourishing science is incomplete. At any time, it raises more questions than it can currently answer.But incompleteness is no vice. On the contrary, incompleteness is the mother of fecundity... A good theory should be productive; it should raise new questions and presume that those questions can be answered without giving up its problem-solving strategies". He increasingly recognised the role of values in practical decisions about scientific research. Kuhn and creationism

<mask> is the author of Abusing Science: The Case Against Creationism. He has commented on the way creationists have misinterpreted Kuhn:

Thomas Kuhn's book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions has probably been more widely read—and more widely misinterpreted—than any other book in the recent philosophy of science. The broad circulation of his views has generated a popular caricature of Kuhn's position. According to this popular caricature, scientists working in a field belong to a club.All club members are required to agree on main points of doctrine. Indeed, the price of admission is several years of graduate education, during which the chief dogmas are inculcated. The views of outsiders are ignored. Now I want to emphasize that this is a hopeless caricature, both of the practice of scientists and of Kuhn's analysis of the practice. Nevertheless, the caricature has become commonly accepted as a faithful representation, thereby lending support to the Creationists' claims that their views are arrogantly disregarded. Books

Losses were to LSU and MSU on the road, and a loss at home to Kentucky. Arkansas was 16–5 (4–4) when they lost their 2nd leading scorer for a five game stretch, where they posted a 0–5 record. At full strength over the final six games,  the Razorbacks finished the season 4–2. <mask>, in his first year at Arkansas recruited the fifth and sixth-ranked recruiting class in the nation according to ESPN.com and 247sports.com respectively.The season was cut short after a Wednesday victory at the 2020 SEC Tournament due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns. The Razorbacks ended their season with a 20–12 record overall marking <mask>'s fifth straight season with 20 or more wins. With a 20–12 record in his first year at Arkansas, Musselman currently holds the ninth highest winning percentage of active NCAA Division I basketball coaches. Following the 2019–20 season, Musselman and staff reeled in the No. 3 ranked transfer recruiting class after three top 25 ranked graduate transfers signed with the Razorbacks. Late in the 2020–21 season, his Razorbacks cracked the Top 25 for the first time since January 2018 and then hosted No. 6 Alabama as the No.20 ranked team, the first matchup of ranked teams inside Bud Walton Arena since February 1998.

On February 8. 2022, his team knocked off No. 1 Auburn in front of a Bud Walton Arena record 20,327 in attendance. As Arkansas had not beaten a number 1 team at BWA, the students rushed the court, resulting in Arkansas paying a $250,000 fine. Depending on the roster, a half-court offense might make more sense. In other cases, a team may be better suited for an "open offense."According to Musselman, the idea is to allow players to "play to their strengths." As head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Musselman would often use "three-guard rotations to create mismatches and fast-break opportunities for his club." As head coach of the Venezuela National Team, <mask> said his team's identity was that of a "fast-paced, up-tempo team." According to former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy, Musselman is "as competitive of a guy as I've ever coached against. He's a brilliant offensive mind." According to University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari, "<mask> is one of the best in our sport. Extremely driven and knowledgeable.I've watched and coached against him in the NBA and FIBA games. He has an uncanny feel for the game, and ability to read where the game is at. More importantly, is his ability to motivate and teach his players what it takes to improve and win. He is as good as it gets." Developing players

In an August 2011 interview on NBA.com, Musselman said that, as a coach, "you have to continually figure out a way to get your players better." According to Gerald Green, who played for Musselman with the D-League's Los Angeles D-Fenders in 2012, Musselman "did a hell of a job really motivating me, really pushing me every day in practice when I was with L.A. I have to give him credit [for improving my game]."Green said that Musselman "rode me about staying focused. Don’t take even a second off of any play. Don’t take any plays off. Don’t take practice for granted." Like Green, Jeremy Lin has also credited Musselman with aiding his development. In February 2012, Lin said that when he played for Musselman in the D-League, "he gave me the opportunity to play through mistakes." Gregory Echenique, who played for Musselman on the Venezuela National Team in 2011, said Musselman "had the most energy of any coach I've ever been around.He had a problem with his Achilles, and he would throw his crutches down and literally crawl to get after you. From the first day we met him to when we left him, his intensity never changed. It didn't matter who you were — he was in your face if he needed to be. At the same time, he was so positive. He always believed we could win. He was the guy that put the fire into us." Kevin Martin (basketball), who played for Musselman with the Sacramento Kings in 2006–07, told NBA.com that Musselman helped him learn how to draw more fouls.According to Martin, Musselman "saw how teams were playing me and how they got up into me and told me to start absorbing that contact. He said I could score a lot more points in this league if I got to the free throw line. He put an emphasis on me night in night out with that part of the game. He was always pounding it into me and it paid off." In a May 9, 2013, article by CBSSports.com college basketball writer Gary Parrish, Arizona State guard Jahii Carson credited Musselman with helping him develop as a player. "Coach Muss is a great guy with a lot of knowledge because he's coached a lot of great players", said Carson. "He's given me a lot of great advice … about what NBA people are looking for, about how NBA guys don't take days off, how they're always in the gym doing conditioning or something, always trying to better their games.A guy like me? I didn't know anything like that having never been around the NBA game. So, he's somebody who has helped me." During the 2013–14 season, Musselman worked with Arizona State center Jordan Bachynski, helping the 7-foot-2 senior with his footwork. After the season, Bachynski earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors. Move to the college ranks

In October 2007, ESPN reported that Musselman had a desire to coach at the collegiate level. According to Andy Katz, senior college basketball writer for ESPN.com, "Musselman wants to coach in college and is starting the process of getting his name out among search committees so that he's a viable candidate in March."In late December 2007, FOX Sports reported that <mask> was a likely candidate to replace 71-year-old Eddie Sutton at the University of San Francisco after this season. In January 2008, his name surfaced in press reports surrounding the head coaching position at Oregon State. In March 2008, <mask>'s name surfaced in published reports about the California and Loyola Marymount head coaching positions. On August 30, 2012, Andy Katz reported on ESPN.com's College Basketball Nation Blog that Arizona State University was in talks to hire Musselman as an assistant coach on Herb Sendek's staff. On September 2, 2012, Katz confirmed <mask>'s hiring, describing it as a "bold move" and a "coup" for Sendek. Former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy predicted that Musselman will be an excellent recruiter "because of his competitive nature and what he has to sell. This is a guy who can tell kids exactly what it takes to play in the NBA."Fifteen games into Arizona State's 2012–13 season, ESPN's Andy Katz wrote that "It's hard to ignore the difference [guard Jahii] Carson and assistant coach <mask>man are making at Arizona State." According to Katz, "The Sun Devils were painful to watch last season. Now, ASU has multiple options and while it still grinds out wins..." On January 9, 2013, ESPN's Jason King wrote that "adding former NBA head coach <mask>man...to his staff has also been a huge plus for Sendek and his players." Quoted in King's story, Arizona State center Jordan Bachynski said, "When [Musselman and Greer] speak, guys listen, just because they have that credibility from being in the league. The way they approach the game … it's no BS. They say, 'This is how it's done. If you don't like it, you're not going to play.'"In a radio interview after the 2012–13 season, Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson said, "I think <mask>'s going to have opportunities to look at head coaching jobs. He's a very qualified coach. He did a great job, I think, teaching and working here." In a March 26, 2013, post on the ESPN Los Angeles UCLA blog, Peter Yoon described Musselman as one of the "best under-the-radar candidates out there." In May 2013, he was promoted to associate head coach. <mask> resigned from Sendek's staff in April 2014. Following the 2013–14 season, <mask> was a candidate for the head coaching position at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of South Florida and Oregon State University.International coaching
