He's the only one of the three to have won a championship. JMU's coach who was hired that year didn't even make it to year 5. Pat Skerry has been at Towson for 10 years and hasn't won, despite having a brand new arena and the CAA tournament in their backyard for two years.

Interesting stuff - I hadn't been following things that closely.

Winner's circle:
Spiker - Coaching (.407 record)
Ross - Fired (.418 record)
Brady - Fired (.525 record)
Cohen - Coaching (.531 record)
Grant - Poached (.588 record)
Mihalich - Retired (.605 record)
Keatts - Poached (.720 record)

I'm not sure what the takeaway is other than it's easy to give a middling coach like Skerry 10 years and not come away with anything. I don't want our program to end up like that.
Right now our standards are lower than Delaware's. How does that make you feel?

How are our standards low? I don't see that at all. Did you read my other points in my email, especially referring to what he had to work with? Every coach was hired with a different scenario to work with, but you're showing a meaningless comparison it like it's apples to apples. Drexel's basketball goal is to win a championship, which they did with their new coach in year 5, not to have the best winning percentage in a meaningless comparison that meets your agenda. Do you think that Drexel should bring in a new head coach ever year or two after they have a losing record? Because that is exactly what you're suggesting they should have done, and you know for a fact that wouldn't work. Drexel would not have won a championship if they did what you are suggesting they should have done. The actual winning percentage is completely meaningless. The year to year improvement is what we should be focusing on.
