I’m not against hiring a new b-ball coach. I think it’s a good job but not a great job. ODU has a huge fundamental issue that can’t be corrected by coaching, unfortunately. Maybe a new coach helps in the short term. But make no mistake, there is a long term fundamental problem. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but it’s true. And even if we hit a great “home run” with a young up and coming coach, Dude is gonna jump at the first chance to get to a real conference. Charter flights across country to play conference games is gonna get old real quick.

I can't wait til we are good enough to have someone steal our coach for a sport that someone cares about.

It will probably happen in women’s basketball the rate she’s going.

I know if we hire a young and upcoming assistant from a P5 school, he will be gone on 3-4 years but at least he will have good assistants around him. They could take over like VCU has done with their assistant coaches. The key is building a foundation so we will have good players for a new coach or assistant. Recruitment is the name of the game.
