Like him or not, they're stuck with him until the end of his contract.  The problem with not committing further to him (and I am not suggesting they should)is that it impacts recruiting.  Kids want to know who's going to be their coach.

 

I went to the game today.  The Zips were competitive in he first and fourth quarters but got outscored by 17 in the second quarter.  No effort seemed to be made during that run to stop the momentum by calling a timeout.  Overall, they turned the ball over way too much, couldn't stop dribble penetration and gave up way too many easy shots.  Gentzler did way too much yelling and gesturing, including a Rick Pitino like tearing off and throwing of his sportscoat.

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression it was a four year contract?

I actually don't know the full contract details. When I said 5 years it was because that's what google showed when I searched. I'm not sure how much of the contract is actually guaranteed.

I was under the impression that he's under contract through next season.

A loss on senior day to end the season.

Another season ending with 6 injured players on the bench. Some good news is that our top recruit from last year whonwas injured in the state finals in Indiana and never saw the floor for us is back practicing and should be ready to play in 26-27. We also have one of the finalists for this year's Ms Ohio Basketball signed for next. Ryan and Bud are already working on who to target in the transfer portal. Eventually our luck has to change.
