skip-zip Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 He's an Akron alumnus. Dayton is rumored to be willing to pay seven figures. I would hope Dambrot would stay. I think he has a job here until retirement assuming he doesn't regress to MAC West levels. He's the best coach in the history of the program. But at UD he's just another coach and he's done some things that would make him unpopular there like being friends with LeBron and the CMU incident. Are you serious? His association with possibly the best basketball player on the planet is a negative? Quote
Hilltopper Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 KD has already turned down one offer. It would have doubled his salary. Quote

Dave in Green Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Never say never and never say always. I'm superstitious, and cringe everytime I hear someone say KD isn't leaving. I hope he doesn't leave, and I feel good about all the good reasons for him to stay. But I've had enough disappointments in life to know that nothing is guaranteed. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 University of Akron coach Keith Dambrot was not contacted and has not pursued head coaching job at the University of Dayton The fans wanted him, but the university hasn't made a move on him. I kind of want Boals to go there, if only so he doesn't end up at a MAC school where we have to face him twice a year. Quote
zippyman23 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Sounds like Archie Miller may be the next Dayton coach. Would be an interesting layer to the Dayton/Xavier Rivalry. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Dayton names Archie Miller as their new HC. Now I worry about Boals going to Can't. Quote
GP1 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Link for Miller hire by UD. Like I said yesterday, schools like Dayton are looking to hire a young guy. Not someone in their 50s. I wish you guys would just listen when I post. Quote

UA Fan Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Look for an announcement in the near future regarding upgrades to the JAR. Board of Trustees Meetings: August 4, 2010, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 September 8, 2010, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 October 6, 2010, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 December 15, 2010, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 January 19, 2011, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 March 23, 2011, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 April 27, 2011, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 June 15, 2011, 10 a.m.*, Student Union, Room 339 It's seeming a little more likely since KD's crew are and ncaa tourney participants again and his name is coming up for other HC jobs. Maybe some more donation $$ are coming in, as with soccer. It can't wait 15 more years for a new downtown arena to materialize...gotta make a move soon.. Quote
Dave in Green Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Question for Zack T Z-- do practice worrying of does it come naturally? What will be, will be. My best translation: Question for ZachTheZip -- do you practice worrying or does it come naturally? What will be, will be (as in "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)." On another note, I wasn't aware that Dayton freshman point guard Juwan Staten had decided to transfer. Staten has the potential to be a star player somewhere. That's a big hit for Dayton, which has underperformed the last two years. Interesting that departing coach Brian Gregory was rewarded for two straight underperforming seasons by getting a higher-profile job at Georgia Tech. Quote

Jawan and his dad both think Jawan is a lot better than he is. I know it's not the big dance, but winning the NIT last year wasn't too bad for the Fliers. http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-spor...ud-1115398.html Quote

I know it's not the big dance, but winning the NIT last year wasn't too bad for the Fliers. http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-spor...ud-1115398.html Winning the NIT was good, but still below expectations. According to the story linked to above, Dayton was picked to win the Atlantic 10 in 2009-10, as they had four starters and 10 of their top 11 scorers returning. But they played erratically throughout the season, finished only 8-8 in the A-10, and had to settle for the NIT instead of the Big Dance. This season the Flyers were expected to be among the A-10's top teams again, but finished 7-9 in conference and had to settle for the NIT again, where they lost to the College of Charleston in the first round. So while Dayton's last two seasons were not shameful, they underperformed expectations on Gregory's watch. Maybe Georgia Tech examined the record more closely and decided it was not all Gregory's fault that the Flyers didn't live up to expectations. We'll see how he does at GT. By the way, one rumor has Staten transferring to Cleveland State. Quote

It was just like looking at and listening to Michael J. Fox (without the MD) on the sports news. Quote
