Their previous arena was a small high school gym. Matheny only coached one year in the new building.
Elon has little basketball tradition. It has won multiple NAIA football titles and has beautiful football stadium. Elon has no rival in the CAA.
The move from the SoCon to the CAA was bad for basketball because the competition was tougher and it emphasized their inadequate basketball facility compared to Charleston, Wilmington, and Williamsburg.
But it forced them to step up their game.
Have they? They haven’t won a single CAA tournament game since making the move.

Their coliseum is probably the best in the CAA now. Stepped up big time. Now for a new coach.
I agree there. That place looks nice. I’m just glad that Santa Ana kid is gone. Felt like he was there for 8 years.

You ain't kidding.
I'd really like to see Elon move to the top of the CAA. They're a potentially good NC rival. I honestly think they'll get there. Like William and Mary, they're a pretty high level academic school as well.
Not sure why, but I have a weird feeling they'll go after a Keatts type coach who runs the press. UNCG and UNCW have shown the way and they've played both.
