Blue blood college basketball coaches embezzle thousands of dollars from their schools and then retain their jobs?
They also run a fake mortgage scam for several years buying up a dozen properties to bilk out banks and investors. Also news to me.
I've never heard of a college basketball coach who was an informant for the FBI for several years.
There is no defending Floyd Irons. He is a criminal scumbag.
-I'm starting to think Floyd isn't on your Christmas card list

I choose my wife because she has a nice rack. It’s worked out so far.
I do know one thing, if I turned down a job paying 2.5 million for a job paying 800,000 I’d have to find a new wife.

If/When this deal is finalized, Chaifetz and other involved donors and May need to get a lot of credit. There are a whole lot of ways this search could have gone south, but they made it happen with their top choice despite a late challenge by a big time program.
Also, If/when Schertz signs the deal, I think he has to start out extra popular here given that he may have passed on a chance to become the next coach at Louisville to become our coach. It's one thing to beat out a big time program for a recruit. It's another when you beat them out for a coach you both want.
-IF? you want to give credit IF this hire doesn't happen?

-if UofL hires Richard Pitino I submit that we (SLU) don't have the worst AD in a 300 mile radius

I read the statement to mean $2M. $1M to be split among the 8 teams and $1M to winning team.

Interesting. Missed this when it was first announced.
Sources tell FOS the tournament organizers are in talks with: • Alabama • Duke • FAU • Houston • Kansas • Oregon • San Diego State • St. Joe's • Syracuse • Virginia.
This is definitely a recruiting tool for the chosen teams. Would the potential of a payout entice Eric Reynolds to stay at St. Joe's, if they are selected?
-so $9mil to the players, who is funding?

2 of those 4 are only Sophomores. 6'10 C, Avila is only a sophomore so he could get better physically and develop better defense.
Schertz used a short bench normally only 7 players and was #359 in bench minutes (KenPom).
Starting 5 by most used line up
PG Larry Jr
SG Swope Jr.
SF Conwell So.
PF Kent Jr.
C Avila So.
If Jimmerson stays he's in the starting 5, he doesn't improve the defense. Thames, with coaching could crack that line up and be better on D. Medley is probably back up PG if he stays but not better for the D.
So if that's who plays we may see marginal improvement but there is a slight step up in competition so the defense maybe about the same as this ISU season KenPom ranked 112.
But I don't know what the portal will do. So with the data now. I agree we're looking at a serviceable defense next year. Marked defensive improvement will take time.
-is this his style or was the dropoff to player 8 large?

None. That wasn't my point. If Scherz gives us four great years and then moves on taking most of our team with him, I will be extremely happy for the four years he gave us. I will also by just as upset as the ISU fans that we will be back to square one. I don't think there is anything to the idea (anymore) that our program will have been elevated. A new coach will have to come in a start from scratch.
My thought was that we have a better chance to hold onto a coach who has already been to the P6 and understands that a program in our position is actually preferred over another move to P6 and stays here long term. Most on this board wanted to avoid that type of coach simply because Ford left a bad taste in their mouths and that describes him. Another coach in the same position as Ford won't necessarily be another Ford. He could just be the next great Billiken coach.
Regardless, I'm excited about Scherz and seeing what he can do. Go Bills.
-who are some of these coaches? if using their time as an assistant are you including May and Dutcher?

-I don't know when all the hob nobbing takes place at the Final Four, but if it is at all of use I hope at the latest on Friday evening CJS is wearing SLU gear on a private jet to Phoenix to do whatever needs to be done which I imagine includes hiring assistants and talking schedule
