Coaching Changes 2018-2019

[fansince80s]

Why is it coaches can jump schools easily but players can’t with out sitting out year.

[fansince80s]

Just seems unfair. They recruit kids and build them up then disappear and the kid is screwed.

[Shocktoberfest]

Because kids would jump ship like it was a merry-go-round. It would be ridiculous.

[WuDrWu]

I think kids should be able to transfer immediately and be eligible immediately if the coach leaves or is fired. And if the kid goes with the coach, the new school should compensate the school they left at 3 times value of all expenses including recruiting.

SUPPOSEDLY it's based on the premise (rolling eyes) of college athletes picking a school because of the SCHOOL, not the coach. One more piece of sh!# thrown like a zoo monkey by NCAA.

Actually more players that transferred than ever were eligible immediately last year but Teddy wasn’t one of them. Free Teddy!

[abdullah_sharif]

definitely see both sides of the argument... if i were a high school / juco player, i'd totally be focused on the coach. especially if i were a 3,4, or a 5* recruit.

have to protect the institution though. as a former saso board member, one of the most important things to me was that a student athlete we invested in graduated from wichita.

A way to protect the student would be to pass the responsibility of graduation to the new athletic department and if they fail, suffer ramifications accordingly. If they take on the responsibility of the transferring student, they should take on firmer commitment towards graduation. Unfortunately, when both sides have strong but opposite arguments, often nothing is achieved.

Donnie Jones named head coach of Stetson. The man likes to job hop

[Topshock]

Frequently not his choice.

[TGOWJ GOSHOX]

Now that LSU is out of the NCAA, it will be interesting to see what direction they go. Will Wade most certainly won't be brought back. I doubt interim coach Benford gets the job either. Im sure HCGM gets a mention but I doubt he would be interested in what will surely be a rebuild.

[WstateU]

[Stickboy46]

Buzz Williams is likely gone from Virgina tech to A&M. So far Marshall has been mentioned as the top choice for both Vandy and VT.

I chuckled a little

[WSUwatcher]

Agreed, Stick.

We all know about Steppingstone Eddie, rah -- but Marshall isn't Fogler (in a number of ways), for which we're all grateful; and Vandy is no longer a step up (to the extent it may have been in Fogler's day). Marshall has already done his "rebuild," and he's taken it to MSG, from where it's likely back to his accustomed spot in the NCAA tourney starting next season. Why would he want another project?

[wusphlash]

Wasn't Buzz one of the names favored by Texas before they hired Shaka? Going to A&M would really hack the Longhorns off.

I really enjoyed watching Eddie's teams play, at least with Gene's players. However, he didn't really want to be here and he didn't want to recruit here. By the way, his highest winning percentage occurred right here in Doodah.

[ShockTalk]

Yeah, Fast Eddie's highest winning percentage was at WSU.....and done by and large with Gene's players. His best % was his first 2 years where he made the NCAA with the likes of Grayer, Santos, Radunovich, the Praylows, Lew Hill, Cundiff, and Henry Carr, all Gene's players. Sasha, the Praylows, and Grayer were still here his last year when they made the NIT and were still 60% of the team's scoring. Eddie's contribution in 3 years were basically Cooper and Guffrovich. I still believe Sasha had the makings of an NBA player until Eddie got done with him.

[SHOCKvalue]

We’re on second and even third go-‘rounds with some of these schools when it comes to “Candidate Gregg Marshall”.

You'd think the people writing articles and speculating would sort of... you know... notice.

[pogo]

Notice Mark Few’s name doesn’t come up on these vacancy lists. It’s because he is happy where he’s at.

[choida]

I see Gregg waiting and taking the South Carolina job one day... Just a hunch

[Shock Top]

I love we’re I work too and it would be hard to convince me to go elsewhere, but I’d be a fool to not at least hear someone else out.

Or at least let them wine and dine me on their dime!

[Topshock]

Guess Mark Few is a fool. Also while I don't know your situation Shock Top, I'm guessing your present employer isn't paying you more money than you could ever spend and if they were perhaps you would be a little more loyal to them and probably you wouldn't even care about dimes.

Personally think it's bad move... But dude has built Houston into something special

Don't want him to leave UH.... the appeal of SEC might be too much, but Arkansas?? I think LSU, as a program, would have better up side. Honestly it's LSU that I think will come after Marshal this year.

[shoxlax]

No coach wants to walk into a school that is looking at a multiple year probation.

The new norm will be hiring figure heads (Penny, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin) as the face of the team and recruiters while the Xs and Os guys will be the assistants.

[Shock Top]

Hopefully that’s just a fad.

Seems that could only work for so long.
