      No way man lol. IB deserves a better opportunity than that. I’m sure he’s not interested in picking up the pieces of another program in turmoil.

      • For me, perhaps the most postitive thing about this move by ADKS, athough I guess we don't know this for sure, is that its a strong indication that he has successfully reached out ot the big money donors and convinced them to help him right the ship. Looking forward to see how he handles this coaching search and what kind of financial package he is able to put together and who he will be able to entice to lead the program. I don't think it is overly hyperbolic (although maybe a little) to caste this hire as perhaps an existential decision for WSU athletics.

          Perhaps, although I would expect any suitor will try to get him on the cheap at least for the first 3 years since he has the security of the WSU program to fall back on. Especially if that allows his new employer to divert more resources to his recruiting budget, etc. And yes, your point about picking up the pieces at another program in turmoil is a very valid one. But with the current transfer environment just about any new position he would get will likely be a rebuild.

          In any case, I wish Coach Brown well in his future endeavors. He is a good guy. Not sure if head coaching is his forte, but he obviously is better prepared to take an another head coaching challenge now than he was 3 years ago.

          I certainly, don't feel sorry for him. He has fared very, very well financially thanks to FADDB, and he is leaving WSU with life-changing money.

          • Another indication that this was likely coming, I noticed in last week’s This Month in Shocker News email (or something to that effect), there was no mention of the men’s basketball team…while all other sports currently in season, had some information, including women’s basketball.

            I am happy. I plan on increasing my donations, to what I financially and reasonably can, I hope others do the same.

              I hate to ask, but I must, how is that "not even close to the most insane thing that's been posted on that group"?


              Because that is one severely brain damaged rumor that is rooted in nothing remotely true nor sane.

                • So far ADKS has impressed me. He hit the ground running when he arrived reaching out to fans. Now he showed leadership making the move to fire Brown when it would have been easier for him to give it another year. I trust him to find the best coach for us. He's not a softy.

                    • No need to discuss, I just bring it up for thought, but how do you keep Keitha at this point?

                        I understand your point but I wonder if it is an apples to apples comparison considering the relevance of MBB to the health and survival of the overall athletic department vs the relative irrelevance of WBB in that regard.

                        Obviously, we want to be sble to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, but our financial situation at the present time might preclude that and force ADKS to set priorities.

                              It’s Bob Lutz’s offspring.

                              Ill change it the day we hire the new coach, officially clearing the Boatright taint off of WSU basketball.

                                Both the coaches in the SEC Championship are dressed sharply as well.

                                Not a sharply as Don Mic, but few are!
