Say what we will about some of the oddities about our Athletic Dept, but IMO, Jimmy Bass is the best AD we’ve had since Peggy, hands down. Multiple sports are thriving, even if we don’t have football yet (that would be a legendary stamp on his career, IMO).

Congrats Mr. Bass, and I’m hoping there’s more success in your future!

UNCW punches above its weight across the board in athletics. We're a midsize school in a very small metropolitan area. We are competitive in pretty much every sport, and conference champ level in a lot of sports. Women's basketball is the only place I can see that we just really haven't been competitive.

It's easy to focus on what we don't have and haven't done, and lose sight of what we have done. An athletic director only has so much authority, and in areas where Jimmy Bass does have authority we do well

for the most part. Imagine if he'd have made the right hire when Keatts left? His basketball hires, men's and woman's alike have been hit or miss. But, definitely plenty of good to talk about too

The AD isn't the decision maker when we hire a basketball coach, and he wasn't the decision maker after Keatts. He is an advisor, but the Chancellor is the final decision maker.

You are underestimating how much influence an AD has over those decisions. Ultimately the board decides on contracts etc, but getting to that point is very much driven by the AD.

You are 100% wrong in regards to CB McGrath's hiring at UNCW.

I think I understand how it works completely, but thanks for the insight.

Mullet isn’t wrong IMO. Jimmy Bass is consistent and all about maintaining status quo. That is fine for some people. I would prefer a more visionary AD to lead our athletic department to new heights and majorly improve our athletic budget through better fundraising. That takes someone with a more dynamic personality. I think it’s time for Bass to retire.

Usually when you tell someone the are "wrong" you would have some information to back it up. Doesn't appear that you do. Are you saying Bass wanted someone else and he was over ruled with people higher wanting CB?

CB was the last man standing after two of three candidates didn't come on board.

I would also like to see football be added sooner than later.

RB was my opinion, the process of who makes decisions in a university is fact, not opinion.

There’s a fair number of things you could probably get on bass about not adding football isn’t one of them it’s a pipe dream where is the money coming from

As connected and invested as you seem to be in UNCW Athletics, you should be able to ask LITERALLY ANYONE involved in the process to find out why you're wrong.

So what your saying is you have ZERO information to confirm. Got it
