They might have to pay Heiar more than they were paying Lusk. He'd certainly be worth more than they were paying Lusk, and can probably get that much within the next couple of years, if not this year.
I’d love to see him get a head coaching job. I’m hoping for better than the Valley though. Could set him up for a lot of wins and a big payday down the road though.
Paid a visit to the MSU board and they appear very high on Greg Heiar. There have been some twitter follows between he and MSU brass, so there may be some mutual interest there.
Yesterday, MSU's AD (Moats) was denying the original report that came out yesterday. It's thought that maybe Moats wanted to wait until after Arch Madness to make the announcement. Either that or Moats is a blithering idiot. MSU fans would support either theory.
Paul Lusk, whose Missouri State Bears were just 7-11 in the Missouri Valley Conference this season, is out as the school's men's basketball coach, sources told ESPN's Jeff Goodman and Jeff Borzello.
Some great spin out of Peoria. Writer does a pretty good job of justifying why a one-bid league is better than a league that might get some at large bids, but doesn't really mention that aspect of the Valley that's better off without WSU and Creighton.
“Valley commissioner Doug Elgin used the words “addition by subtraction,” arguing that the loss of a dominant Wichita State program raised the hopes of those left behind and birthed a new age of intense competitive balance.
Now, Elgin is a spinmeister of considerable repute. But before you call bullspit, consider at least a couple of facts.
As a league, the Missouri Valley this season ranks eighth, its loftiest perch since 2013 and up four spots from last season, when Wichita State and Illinois State tied for the conference championship.
Every Valley member ranks in the top half of the nation’s 351 Division I teams on the RPI. Of the nation’s 32 conferences, only the Big East, Big 12 and SEC can claim the same. By comparison, six Valley teams last season finished in the bottom half, with four ranked below 200.”
Zero correlation here; in fact, had the MVC maintained this type of success for the past five years, it’s quite reasonable that WSU wouldn’t have left.

“Smaller crowds do not equal less excitement or a dampened atmosphere. In fact, black curtains have been dropped across the upper bowl at Scottrade Center, increasing the intimacy of the arena.”
