  1. Something really important to keep in mind is that the AD who hired him is gone, with an interim in place. The president is on the way out as well. There’s a lot of uncertainty regarding the future leadership of ISU, with those two spots as an unknown. My hunch is that his plan has been to get out for several months now, regardless of what type of raise Indiana State can come up with.
  2. Jerry Stackhouse also had a G-League title. Never danced at Vandy.
  3. It’s primarily local media who want access to the program that would be furthered due to a personal relationship. At least in the case of Frank that’s what it is. Other media pushing it just don’t have a high view of the program, and think it’s a nice place to have a local guy because it’s a nice story and they don’t have a concept of what SLU spends on the program.
  4. Ford needs to be gone before midnight on Sunday. The portal opens on Monday, and any illusion that he will be here next season will only hurt SLU’s efforts to attract players here. The new coach might still be working, but a handshake deal needs to be in place sooner rather than later.
  5. I think it’s way more likely Porter uses SLU for leverage than actually ending up here.
  6. Record was spot on, but the place was actually one spot worse. What an absolute mess of a season.
  7. Wouldn’t look into this. The PD has had budget issues, and it seems they’re just not sending their best writer to save on some expenses.
  8. If I was getting paid 2.5 million dollars, I’d be pretty desperate to save my job too.
  9. With the NCAA being pretty toothless against multi-time transfers now, I wouldn’t be surprised to have most of the roster enter every off-season from here on out, just to gauge what their markets are.
  10. This might be a bit controversial, but more often than not, local players have inflated reputations. The program isn’t going to advance forward without recruiting other locations well. There has to be a mix.
  11. It is way too late for that. May realistically needed to be gone January 1st in order to have a new person in place to make this hire.
  12. This is very reasonable, and if there is a choice between both, I’m honestly not sure which guy I’d hire. That being said, I’m not sure if Mack legitimately will be on the table. There are some jobs that inevitably will open that he’d be in heavy consideration for.
  13. Can’t you say that about every candidate at the end of the day? There’s evidence the guy can coach. Yes, it’s at a lower level, but the mentality that guys need P5 experience to be a good coach are antiquated.
  14. The way I view it is this: I’d rather be a year early on Schertz than a year late on a P5 guy dropping down. He’s got a wildly successful track record at the D2 level, and it’s showing that it translates to D1. Has he lost to bigger opponents on their schedule? Yes. But he’s doing something at Indiana State that hasn’t been done since Larry Bird. His coaching plus the jump in resources would be a lethal combination.
  15. UMass is leaving the A-10 for the MAC after next season. https://theathletic.com/5301023/2024/02/26/mid-american-conference-umass-expansion/
