The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[Cdizzle]

why is that? I don't disagree we're similar programs (I never said we weren't)

We have a good coach.

[UofMemphis]

We have a good coach.

and we're about to as well...Thx GTech, love those guys!

[ShockingButTrue]

And just so you'll know, SBT -- the tournament's already over. WSU got in.

You mean conference affiliation concerns are now over & done with? I feel so much better now that that will never be an issue again going foward...

Back to terra firma now...

We are good right now and Memphis isn't.

lol, we're not a flavor of the week kind of program...GTech from the ACC did just hire our coach...it's not like we canned him for not winning.

the Lawson's, Charlie Moore, Nick Marshall...next guy could have some real talent, and I'm down with Forbes...he had a good first year and ETSU is only paying him 207k per year

1. Georgia Tech sucks.
2. You are paying Pastner to coach not for you. You didn't can him for not winning because you couldn't afford it.

We've got returning starters with NCAA experience. We've got good talent ready to step up. We've got pre-season accolades (already!). We've got a good recruiting class coming in, guys Marshall recruited specifically for his system. He's done "rebuilding" the program. It's humming like a good car. Do we have warts? Sure, mainly our lousy conference. But, I believe that will change soon enough. Nothing against Memphis. But I think he stays. This is CLEARLY not about money. But, Memphis is, at BEST, only a slight step up and more likely a lateral move. Now, somewhere that is true blue blood, as others have mentioned, could be considered as a significant step up. But not Memphis.

Jason King tweeting that he's been saying for 2 years,Memphis would be perfect for Marshall. Man this crap gets old.

It would be...

Good god I get tired of the Shocker fans that are just as sure about our coach's departure as the fans of the teams that want him are, every damn year.

It's worked out great for Turgeon... the whole leaving for greener pastures crap.

Has it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Marshall makes more than Turgeon and has had WAY better success in the NCAA tournament. Exactly how has it worked out better?

Gotta turn up your meter there.

10 years later and he's still 2 rounds short of what Marshall has achieved. And I believe Marshall has had more NCAA appearances during that stretch too.

And prior to last year's turnaround, his seat was getting awfully warm at Maryland. He came through at the last possible second.

At times like these .. the meter is all over the place! haha.

Though it hasn't been BAD for Turgeon ... just not as good as it could have been here.

Oops.
