Funny math with new staff

[Charles_in_Charge]

With Terry joining the staff at Akron it looks like Dambrodt has 5 assistant coaches, unless someone has left and we do not know. Kraley, Smart, Yater from last year's group plus Paris and Terry. That makes a total of 6 coaches for 13 scholarship players. Does anyone else find this to be too many?

I doubt that is too much. It sounds to me like the zips are investing the extra $$ to actually get us to the gund. All the big time programs have a bunch of assistants.

Go Zips!

No -- I think Chuck has something there. I'm relatively sure the NCAA rule allows no more than three paid assistants -- plus an administrative assistant or Director of Basketball Operations. In fact, I did a little quick research and found that no other school I could find (top 10 schools) had more than three assistants listed. Take a look for yourself. That tells me that someone is "on the bubble" at Akron -- or may be going to be a volunteer ass't. Anyone know more?? If I had to guess, I'd say Shaka stays, so either Kraley or Yater gets the short straw. Then again, it could be Fantasia or Diana.
