It’s time for a change from the Hawk’s system.

It would NOT be same with Clayton in charge

What would be different?

I agree

I agree

It would be odd, no doubt.

But it’s not without precedent

Quote:Several years ago keith Dambrot and Shaka Smart were sitting on a bus outside Worthen Arena in Muncie, Indiana. Akron had just lost a first round tournament game to Ball State and they knew they were about to get fired. Both had been great assistants to dan hipsher but they were sure their careers at Akron were finished. The next week the AD at Akron, against all public sentiment, named Dambrot as the head coach. He kept Shaka and you know the rest of the story.

FWIW

With everything going on, I'm not surprised. I think mid-major programs across the country are getting really nervous about budgets.

Huge cuts coming for all NCAA schools due to cancellation of NCAA tourney. Sign of the times. Met Clayton a couple times. Really solid guy. Good luck Coach Bates!
