That is not the story I have been told by reliable sources. No one offered to write the check.

But he was pressured to replace Ford the year before but no one wanted to write the check.

As has been discussed there were some who wanted to replace Ford last year. May certainly knew that if Ford did not turn it around he would have to replace him . Why would Schertz not have been on a potential list of replacement?

We all think Gibson is a great shooter. What was his percentage. Not much better than Hughes. Our lack of an inside game limited open 3’s. Larry was usually given the top defensive assignment. Yes I know this was by default. We were a terrible defensive team because we couldn’t protect the rim. Too much help vs guarding the line . This is my biggest Ford defensive criticism. I am not trying to make him sound like an All American but I think he would be a strong rotation player.

I don’t get the narrative that Hughes wouldn’t fit in Schertz’s system. Good 3 point shooter,good defender. Won’t have to handle the ball as much. Not a knock on Thames but I see him as a better fit. I know Thames had better 3 point numbers but it was a small sample on mostly open shots.

There is truth to this.

I think this is revisionist history. I believe most of us were pretty excited by the hire.

This whole Ahearn thing is a fabrication. It was never a consideration. Strictly sports radio bull

That’s what I said . He knew ticket sales and donations was going to be a problem not because 12 people on the Billiken board said they wanted him fired. He has said he doesn’t read this board and I believe him.

I think you are overestimating her market value. I am excited by her potential but her overall record doesn’t demand recruitment by a higher level.

I buy some of this but certainly not all. Whether you like him or not May is not a fool. He knew selling tickets and getting donations was going to be a problem. He weighed buyouts vs ticket revenue and made the obvious decision. Did the board help show the overall sentiment. Sure. But don’t think for a minute that if big and middle level donors weren’t ready for a change it wouldn’t happen. I don’t believe the Ahearn stuff was ever a possibility. It was created by comments from Grawer and Holly and was nothing more. Schertz was the obvious candidate from day one. Besides Conrad I doubt anyone else on the Board of Trustees reads this board and he reads it because he is a huge basketball fan. I know you took issue with Courtsides timeline but I think it was pretty accurate. Ps. 90% of the BOT don’t know we have a basketball team. The group of Fred May Bob O Conrad and Doc made this decision and don’t underestimate May.

Hey Lord. Who is eligible to come back?

I was told 2 months ago that they were comfortable with their NIL for next year.

I appreciate all of this but as I said it just depends.

BS. He could have been hurt at any time. People can get hurt at practice

But I am reading that Paige Bueckers sp is back to where she was. I think it just depends.

Thank you for the info.

Congratulations. The first negative post of the Schertz era.

While you gave me a couple of names it’s still a fairly small sample. Seems like more lateral transfers

Star you made the transfer down argument last year and I don’t think it was true. If you give me examples I will stand corrected.

A lot of coaches do not stay for the game.

If you think he is bad now you should have heard him 20 years ago.

Burns and Broeg

So you watch the channel 5 news every night?

They are not comparable. You pick one item on the hundreds of subjects he may cover in a week. And I for one don't think they Ahearn idea is as stupit as you do. No I would not do it and glad they didn't but don't think it was completely crazy. You hate May so should we view everything you write with that in mind?
