I don't think he wanted to retain Simmons based his comments about last year's team.
Until Steele signs the extension offer, I refuse to believe Miami OH will sustain this success.
400+ wins in his career and 0 NCAA Tourneys. He's the problem.
You can see it better in this video. Look how many Akron fans there are. Unbelievably good showing from the Zips faithful. Toledo is 1.5 hours from Cleveland and that crowd was probably 80/20 Akron.
Multiple double digit leads, large scoring drought, etc. He got completely outcoached in the second half. Whatever you want to call it, that loss is on him.
Toledo fans get to suffer for another year (at least). Pathetic crowd for them by the way.
