Here's an interesting piece on him from the Syracuse paper that tells stuff I didn't know. Perhaps you didn't, either. Also, and this may have changed, it says his salary was raised to 475K. Yeah, I cherry-picked this, but sometimes patience is what's called for, which I hope we're (admin) is exhibiting in view of the last 2 recruiting classes. Sure, put up the facilities argument, our "history," and all of that crap. Not buying it. We've had some good years, NCAA -wise; we've never been what some of you think we've been. Sorry to break the news to you.

I don't know how old you are but most of us literally sat in the stands and watched an ODU program that was better than MTSU's current program for about an 8 year stretch. MTSU had one good year last season. The season before they were a 15 seed. They did win their 1st game in a big upset, but a 12 seed and a 15 seed isn't at the level that ODU was at in 2009-2011.

Seeds don't matter in the NCAA tournament. Wins matter. To that effect, the recent MTSU teams are WAY better than BT's old ODU teams.
