    Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about it. Do I think its right for an employer to not allow their employee to look for "better" opportunities? No. Do I think my employer would knowingly tolerate me searching for other opportunities? No.

    I’m not sure why sports and education allow their employees to actively look for other employment- while employed. I would be done with an employee who was actively looking.

    It's because these high level positions are very hard to fill. What are they going to do if they fire him? All the other candidates to replace him already have positions at other institutions. Are those institutions going to fire all the people who might apply for the UA job? Not the way it works at these high level jobs. It's called professional courtesy for him to inform UA that he is looking.

    He's such a baller, he has Can't at 6-7 in the MAC in one of the worst MAC fields in quite some time. I also don't want to be following any blueprints made by Mr. Pinky. I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year at the helm of the Golden Flushes. 

    They gave him s contract extension at the end of last season.

  3. Trying to compare the way Smith guarded Moses to the way Kostelac did it is apples to oranges. Smith fronted the big guy and knew that he had backside help if they threw it over the top. When Mark was in the game they expected him to play straight man to man. Moses being a much more experienced player did a great job of selling any contact between them and the refs bought it. The refs were much more willing to give Smith the benefit of the doubt due to the size difference. The main reason Smith can be effective in the post is due to his quickness. Mark at 6'11" is never going to be that quick.

    Don't agree that this team was gutted.  We'd be in such a different place if Olojakpoke/Sayles were active all season.  

     

    Also don't agree it'll take years.  I think we're contending for the MAC title as soon as next year if the transfers are as good as advertised: 

     

    Olojakpoke/Sayles

    Utomi/Toles/Parrish

    Riak/Kostelac/Smith

    Ivey/Cotton/Patton

    Hester/Jackson

    Hester is not a point guard. Unless something changes the point will be handled by Cotton and Jackson next season.

  5. Be careful what you wish for.

     

    "What we do know is Antino Jackson, the senior point guard who was suspended for one game for an unspecified team rules violation, practiced Thursday and it appears likely he will be back on the court, though not as a starter, against the Spartans.

    Weir will not say what Jackson did to warrant the suspension and would not comment when the Journal asked if it had to do with a physical altercation with a teammate."

  6. I have to say I'm getting a chuckle out of all you guys jumping on the Kostolac bandwagon. Earlier in the season several posters had already written him off as a lost cause. Based on what I saw in the early practices I loved the kid. Here was a very athletic big man with a nice touch around the basket. The best part though was even though he is a very nice kid, when he gets on the court he has a certain mean streak in him. He loves the rough play. Early in the season that didn't help him. Too many quick whistles and trying too hard kept him buried on the bench. Now that he is getting quality minutes the game is starting to slow down and he is really showing what he is capable of doing on the court.

  7. What was really terrible about the Sayles play was after he hit the ground the ref stood there watching for a second and then gestured to play on. Meanwhile Sayles is going into convulsions! Terrible officiating. Buddy Mayborg needs to retire or go back to calling highschool games
