I just have a hunch his name isn’t Thomas.

It is.

Agree. He didn't try to steal Dickie V's shtick one time in that post.

[SB Shock]

He's not on contract for a full year, so we got him for a lot cheaper than his annualized salary.

$7,000 dollars per paycheck is not cheap.

[DJShocker10]

It is.

Is his middle name Harry?

I was not in favor of getting rid of Marshall and still do not like how disloyal our school was to someone who was nothing but loyal.
But he is gone and now for the future.

I did not expect us to do so well under an interim coach. Is this like Gary Thompson inheriting Ralph Miller's players and winning for a few years?
Or whoever came after Gene Smithson?
Can the new coach compete successfully year after year?

As to ICIB, don't know yet.

But I like what I see so far.
He doesn't yell at the players after every mistake. They are not looking to the bench every time they toss up an early 3 or have a turnover.
I think this is good.
He can discipline them without forcing the joy of the game out of them. and it appears he is doing just that.

Obviously, we wait until later in the year, even the offseason.

Marshall has groomed many a successful coach and there is no reason to believe Isaac Brown is not the next one in the line.
I would have no problem sticking with him if he gets us to the Big Dance, top 1/3 of the conference, gets us to the champioinship game of the conference tournament, or more than one of these.

It appears Mr. Brown is a good recruiter, but he recruited them and Marshall closed them. Can he do the entire job? Don't know.

So far I am very happy and am rooting for Coach Brown to force us to give him the job

David, I don't know you, and I've admired your 'no baloney' approach, and I like your whole take here...especially the last line.

Welcome to the board Thomas.

Wait, wait, wait.....the REAL Tom Kosich?????

It can only be true if he says "Is the caller there?" from his radio time!!!!:)

[Shockm]

I know there are some Boatright "haters" on this board; how does this idea set with them and the possibility he may fall due to fHCGM's situation?

No one knows but I predict this won’t happen

"This" being Boatright's... departure?

[Aargh]

"This" being Boatright's... departure?

I don't believe an interim President is going to appoint an interim Athletic Director when we have an interim head basketball coach.

This was from way back.... 2014 I believe.

Wow! I am sitting on a Boston - LAX flight and I read with great joy the nice comments from Shocker fans. For the record I am very blessed with 3 great kids and work for a fantastic company called Avaya. I have met Greg Marshall twice in my life and from what I am told he is a great guy and a fantastic coach, I wish him nothing but the best. I take tremendous pride seeing the city of Wichita finally get the winning program they deserve, there are no better fans.

All I can say is thank you Wichita. I think of you often and will always remember my time there fondly.

Go Shockers!

Also legit.

Here's the possible kicker. Billy Kennedy has a strong relationship with Boatright too. Boatright either coached with him or for him. It may be that Kennedy is someone he trusts to give him a good report on how IB is doing, and whether he has the "chops" for a fulltime head coaching gig at this level.

I'm not saying that anyone's evaluation is fool proof, but it would be good info.

When and where?
