    So, Torch is saying Chris has no problem with playing an AC for life. I would think the objective of anyone who gets into the coaching biz is to one day run their own SHOW. I don’t know Carawell so really can’t say what his goals are. But, if he’s content to sit behind Scheyer, who’s young, for the next 20 or so years then we wouldn’t want him anyways. We want someone whose ambition is to be recognized as a top flight HC. Whether he uses SLU as a stepping stone is not that important because he’s not going to achieve a better job unless he achieves success here. Look at X as a model for successful coaches who move up the food chain. Yeah, we would prefer a Mark Few type who’s content to stay for life, but they are like rare jewels, hard to find.

    Same with Nick Sabin retiring.  I'm sure he's not a fan of (the presently-constructed) NIL.

    Great and he wants to coach SLU? C’mon, if he wants out he’ll have have his pick of open P5/6 jobs in March who will be kicking down his doors waving fistfuls of cash in his face.

    The BC head football coach just quit and took a job as a coordinator with the Packers. He cited the NIL and the portal as reasons. College ball he said has become less about coaching and teaching than fund raising, searching the portal, and trying to keep his players out of the portal. And I’m pretty sure Harbaugh left college ball for the NFL for the same reasons. 
    The whole college sports world has been tossed on its ear and the worst is yet to come when the greedy P5/6 decides to dump the NCAA as their ruling authority.

    Sorry, Torch, facilities are probably way down on a recruit’s priorities. NIL $’s rule the day.

    Why are these announcers praising Ford? Hey, if u like him so much hire him.

    Wrap one of those scarfs around the mouth of the girl behind the announcers.

    Curcic is a keeper. Play him or lose him to the portal. Kid can shoot, he’s strong, and hoops savvy. I’d even try him at the point. I’d bet he’s done nothing his entire life but play bb. He strikes me as the Euro kid who has been drilled in bb skills. Of course, Travis prefers athleticism, but he shouldn’t be discounting kids with good basic skills and smarts. Play him!

    Curcic was raised in euro ball. Euro coaches know they don’t have athletic players like the USA. So they stress D, fundamentals, muscle ball, and 3 point accuracy. Give Curcic the chance and he’ll be a solid player.

    Best wisnes to Tim. Hope it’s not a serious problem. He had his moments, but I wonder if  this is not due to a problem with the HC.

    I get the feeling they will suddenly show improvement against us.

    TJ needs to take minimal breaks, space them out a minute before TV timeouts.  He has to be on the court as much as possible.

    Hell yes Travis would bolt for a P6 job in a NY minute. But the only thing now for him is a bolt to a broadcast job or some low mid major opening.

    I think WCU crowd is bigger than any Fetz crowd we’ve seen.

    I get the impression there is a group that is not overly thrilled with Ford as HC.
