      • Comment from coach Ford in the post-game show:

        (roughly) "WSU is better than any of the programs looking for coaches next year, so we're planning on staying"

        Top 25 team. Possible 4-5 seed. I don't think there are any teams looking for a coach with that in their resume. I don't expect WSU to be at this level next year, but the next year (and several years) after that could put WSU right back at that level. Are there any coaching openings with that potential?

        What it comes down to is ego and greed. Ego says that $3 mill (compared to $1.5 mill) means something about one's value. Greed says $3 mill is better than $1.5 mill. The Bruce Weber example (and many others) says that some times the big bucks are temporary and the job satisfaction (happiness factor) is severely tested at the top salary ranges.

        I'm always skeptical of WSU keeping a coach for the long haul. I'm more confident Marshall will stick around than I was about Turgeon sticking around. Marshall has a "working-class" background. Turgeon had Larry Brown as his mentor.

            This season's success has made me considerably less woried about the South Carolina opening.

              • Solid work for the most part Shocks. Looked like MSU was intent on taking the inside game away. Didn't work to well. Another outstanding game by Garrett both scoring and rebounding. Patterson hurt us a lot in the 1st half but was not nearly as effective in the second half. Ben continues to play at a very high level in all phases. Excellent defensive work on Weems. David with the daggers to seal the deal in the 2nd half.

                Clinch at least a tie for the regular season crown and have also clinched the #1 seed in Arch Madness.

                BTW, kudos to the Madrigal group who sang the National Anthem. Outstanding. I am assuming this was a WSU group although I did catch Don Hall's announcement on that.

                      • I just don't see marshall bailing on the "best recruiting class of his career".

                          Why would I do that. I'm with all of you, I want GM to finish his career here at WSU, however, it's no secret that mid-major programs are stepping stones to bigger profile programs, conferences and millions.

                                Yes, the choral group was more than outstanding. Very high quality.
