So is Carole Baskin's husband. He was fed to the tigers.

John Wooden is dead.

At least you have a solid idea of what performance you can expect when signing the contract then

Man. I created a lot of controversy and I don’t understand why. All I said was he was dead.

I was puzzled as to why WSU lawyers would have negotiated a contract with Marshall that gave him such a powerful/superior negotiating position in future contract discussions. With little research I discovered that such buyouts were the norm, especially for a coach like Marshall who had re-established a successful MBB program for a university. Clearly I was naive and uninformed on this subject.

Then my research grew into how other members of the AAC were supporting their MBB programs and if Gonzaga had executed a financial plan to ensure they were one of the dominant MBB programs in the West Region of the Big Dance. I haven't drawn any conclusions yet other than Gonzaga has clearly dedicated much larger sums to their MBB program than all other schools in the West Region except UCLA ($15 million plus).

where do you find out this kinda stuff?

[JVShocker]

This seriously is one weird dude.

[JVShocker]

Don't know why I am responding to the name calling bully but here goes, "seriously weird" you call me; I disagree, why do you fail to see this as "a pursuit of intellectual curiosity?"

I have been building a spreadsheet regards the MBB budgets for members of the AAC. Given the $15 million buyout Danny Manning just received due to his termination at Wake Forest, I thought Shocker Fans would be interested in how WSU has performed in this area of contract negotiations - Top 15 as of April 1, 2020 (excluding Manning):

$60,300,000 - Kentucky (Calipari)
$22,500,000 - Nebraska (Hoiberg)
$22,091,667 - Oregon (Altman)
$21,554,000 - Tennessee (Barnes)
$20,816,667 - Texas A&M (Williams)
$19,111,155 - Texas Tech (Beard)
$18,613,125 - Virginia (Bennett)
$18,300,000 - Rutgers (Pikiell)
$16,112,000 - Kansas (Self)
$15,400,000 - UCLA (Cronin)
$15,000,016 - Washington (Hopkins)
$15,000,000 - WSU (Marshall)
$14,408,481 - Ohio State (Holtman)
$13,700,000 - Indiana (Miller)
$13,525,000 - Purdue (Painter)

Please post links to those "...continued attacks on our program and coach"; I think you will discover that

(1) I have posted my opinion that I have had my fill of Marshall and hope/pray that he retires at age 60 as he has publicly stated he intends to do.

(2) I have posted my opinion WSU will finish no higher than third in the AAC, will not win the AAC Tournament or establish a winning record against Kelvin Sampson and Cincinnati with Marshall as the HC.

Your post further convinces me that some posters on Shockernet prefer to ignore facts while exhibiting a willingness to attack a poster who has a different opinion than their own.

Dude. This is you. In the blue.

I’m just asking a technical fan forum question: when a person (using the term loosely) comes on and repeatedly spews hate for the subject team’s sitting coach, widely recognized as the best and most popular coach in program history, is that not sufficient to get the fool banned? I mean, it’s not a first amendment question, this is a private forum. We can make judgements subjectively about what is just a nuisance. Appeal to the moderators. I’d slingshot his a$$ yesterday! Not a slippery slope-this guy is just poison.

I'm sitting here in Austin, wondering how anyone would be surprised by the buy outs in coaching contracts. Some are pretty hefty even for assistant coaches.
I assumed it was common knowledge. Apparently it is only to fans of programs like Texas, where coaches fail and get huge sums to go away, even if they get another job.
I'm glad this is news to some of you. It means we have a well valued coach who is maintaining the program at a high level.
Fire Marshall and it will take no time to find out how these buy out work not only for outgoing coaches, but also their replacements.

The author of the thread is ignorant on many, many levels.
