In that context, if it was a veiled shot it wouldn't have necessarily been a fair one considering we would have hired someone else. I may be wrong though, just commenting based off of memory.

You're probably right. It probably wasn't even a shot at the McGrath hiring, but it just came to my mind due to McGath being so adamant that UNCW was a "destination" job for him instead of a "stepping stone." I think it was a good topic for them to discuss in regards to this search.

Stepping Stone is fine, but reality is, we need someone here 5 years in order to continue success and likely set up an Asst. to be able to take over.

We need someone to come in and win basketball games/compete for CAA titles as soon as possible. Obviously continued success would be ideal but no candidate can guarantee how long they'll be somewhere.

I get it. My point was IMO 5 years is the mark that would set us up for sustained success

I agree with both of you. We need someone to compete and win titles, and it would be IDEAL if they were here at least 5 years in order to better establish their assistants. Having assistants here that long with sustained success in the program and eyes on them by the powers that be for that period of time would indeed work well for a systematic handover of the keys.
