I came across this article on MAC hoops coaches who may be staying and who may be going.

Which MAC basketball coaches will likely be fired?

Paragraph on Monty under "Probably Safe:"

Quote:Two years in, Monty's team hasn't produced much on the court, and the 25-point game at Eastern Michigan gave the program an embarrassing watershed moment. But they rallied and beat Kent State the very next game. Montgomery essentially built Huskie basketball from scratch following the departure of Ricardo Patton in 2011. Several committed freshmen left the following year, and the development of Abdel Nader as a leader has been somewhat refreshing. Stay patient in DeKalb, since they are on the path to contend.

Anyone that knows anything about the program knows we have no leader amongst the players. I do believe they will contend next year or year after. This is Montys baby to do well and become a Huskie coaching legend or fail and become a younger Patton.

The article was written specifically to Dogfan.

Change "the departure of Ricardo Patton in 2011" to "the s--tcanning of Ricardo Patton in 2011." Thank you.

Hard to have any hope after today's embarrassment.

7 seasons in a row of 20 or more losses. How patient does one need to be?

We may eventually start winning but not with this group of players. And if the coaches don't start recruiting better, it won't be with these coaches either. I realize that may be a tall order now, because what halfway decent player would want to play for NIU right now?
