Josh Schertz hires first Assistant Coach
thetorch replied to Ibruce's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
The big level boosters did not like the Coleman hire. After his first season they held a tip off club meeting as a season review. Boosters called out Coleman in public and he didn't mince words. He was fired in less than 48 hours after that. -
Josh Schertz hires first Assistant Coach

Tate is probably the best type of "this local guy" that we have had. Most of our staffs have had one version or another, an STL connection that everyone in town respects. What tangible results have we gotten from it? On the whole not much. No 4 or 5 stars are coming here no matter how much everyone local loves our coach. So there is a limit to the love for Coach Tate. In a reduced role we can deal with it, as an Associate HC, probably not getting our ROI in that. -

Jordan Goodwin Is Now A Memphis Grizzly

Goodwin's contract with Washington was voided when the Nets released him. The Grizzlies signed him to a 10 day contract then signed him to a two way contract for the remainder of the season. Goodwin will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season because he has less than 4 years in the league. Under this scenario the Grizzlies can make him a qualifying offer which Goodwin could accept or give up his rights. If a qualifying offer is made Goodwin can get another offer from another team but the Grizzlies are allowed to match it. If the Grizzlies gave up their rights to Goodwin he would then be an unrestricted free agent. -

The Lakers got more than an extra minute of gameplay in the 3rd quarter allowing them to take a lead. -

For today let's forget our hatred of the Dayton Flyers and their fans and instead mourn the loss of their greatest coach, Don Donoher. Donoher was a 3 year letter winner for Dayton Basketball in the early 50s. He is the all time winningest Dayton HC with 437 wins. His 67 team lost to UCLA in the National title game. He went to 2 elite eights, 5 Sweet Sixteens, 9 NCAA tournaments & seven trips to the NIT. His record in the Arch Baron Cup 1-0 as a player. 6-6 as a coach. Donoher was a mentor to a generation of midwestern coaches and has a prolific coaching tree. He was a mentor and dear friend to Rick Majerus and his advice was instrumental in Coach Majerus coming to Saint Louis.

WELCOME HEAD COACH JOSH SCHERTZ!!

The guy who the staff wouldn't play the year before? The guy who was perpetually injured and was only available a handful of games? Also the guy the staff wasn't going to bring back under any circumstance? You are the one glossing over details. If Ford was still the coach Parker would be another miss. -

Again those guys were recruited 6-8 years ago. Ford's staff had zero contact with locals the last 18 months. Can't reward Tate with a staff position when he's been sleeping on job for a year +. -

Tate has been recruiting bench players for the last 4 years. -
Incorrect. We have only retired Jerseys of players who attain some sort of All America status and/or lead the nation in a major statistical category.

True. Bonner almost never started as the 5, we always had 2-4 other centers on the roster. In crunch time he would play the 5 by default. Usually it would take Grawer about 20 games to figure out the other centers stink and plug in Bonner there for most of the game.
