The asst.manager at Sully's Tool and Party Rental.

It was Geno Ford and Singletary

Not knowing him, I think his falls into impulsive youth category.

I don't know what any person I dont know wants, but (as much as I would like to see this) I can't really picture this. He would really have to think there is a huge upside to coming here

I had no idea. That's incredibly weird.

Did you all just feel that earthquake centered in the Hocking Hills?

YES! YES! YES!!

Depressing. Thanks.

I heard there's a guy at South Carolina Upstate who is looking to bolt. McDaniel, McDougall, MacDavid or something or other. And I was thinking about John Groce and his inability to recruit Chicago. We need someone who can recruit Akron because apparently all these top players are slipping off to Buffalo

So now what?

As a Wooster Fighting Scot myself, love this.

Santa Barbara v. Akron? Decisions, decisions.

Not really.

John Groce...I will have the biggest smile and laugh if we hire him...and a lot of schadenfreude towards the Kittens.

He looks like a young and fresh guy who would be a complete break with the past. God, I hope we learn something this week!

I see a restraining order in your future

Looked up McDevitt. He would be a nice, clean break from the past. But just doing a quick Google on him looks like he and his wife are lifetime North Carolinans. Wouldn't see them moving to Akron.

I don't want to be the gloomy guy, but I really think we are going to get an uninspiring assistant coach from some random P5 or mid major school. Remember, the high hopes we had for a young and inspiring football coach? Its going to be a name we haven't mentioned on here. #RainingOnTheParade

Can anyone analyze the Roberts/McNees backcourt vs. the Jackson/Robotham backcourt? It would help me gain an understanding of what the guard issue is. Daryl and Steve were also undersized, no?

But that would sure get us some publicity. I wish our fan base was that "fanatic."

Im in Phoenix with my family for the Final Four and spotted Williams and Tom Crean having dinner last night. They spoke for about an hour, and the waiter told me Crean was perusing a folder with photos of what looked like our players.

John Groce. And, yes, it would drive the dOUchebaggerers absolutely insane.

I just doubt an unappreciative fan base had anything to do with it when the $$$ is that great and the stakes are so high. We were all frustrated these last few years, and I saw no upside to his staying. He had played the LeBron and the 20 win season cards too many times for my taste. Did either of those cards get us a quality win or a new gym or a tourney run? He knew damn well that he left us with a smallish line up for next year. And his plan for the 2016-2017 season was weak at best. That's my rant.

What I'm realizing and maybe everyone else is as well is that these coaches live in a different world where loyalty comes with a price tag. What we are seeing is the cost of doing business in D1. To the players loyalty also comes with its own type of price tag...That may be more playing time and exposure. There is no allegiance to the fans or the school for some of these players. they also knoe we as fans will transfer our loyalty to new players every four years and now to a new coach.

LeBron is running the University and if he wants his former teammate as head coach that's how it will be? That would be really smart idea for University. Hire someone you can't fire.
