Billboy1 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 This still falls back on Biondi he has no love for athletics until it comes time to collect the money it produces! It is a total embarrassment for the program, fans and school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm totally embarrassed right now. Has our sarcasm become so advanced that this is a joke and I'm just not recognizing it? Because sometimes that happens to me. People think I'm serious and just FYI I'm never serious. This still falls back on Biondi he has no love for athletics until it comes time to collect the money it produces! It is a total embarrassment for the program, fans and school.

ACE Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Possible reasons for delay... 1) Ramsey and Doc Chaifetz are making a covert run at Howland or some other big name coach 2) Biondi is trying to manufacture an issue which might distract people for a moment away from his other problems 3) Biondi is just being a d!ck for his own twisted amusment. Am I missing any other possible reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB73 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Perhaps we are having The Veteran's Administration handle the paperwork. Seriously the SLPD article (online) reports that according to CBS it appears something will be announced before the Final 4 games tomorrow. Good. Now get a few quality recruits (at least one BIG) and get into the new BE and we are in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo027 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Have we announced yet? We're finalizing the details of a 12 year $80 million contract with John Calipari. Bobby Knight will be a senior advisor and Mike Rice will be hired as the lead assistant coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 -perhaps FrB is on the road to Milw, Chi, Philly, NYC, Prov and DC trying to get to know those presidents to get in the BEast??? on second thought, nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No Kelvin Sampson? Disappointing at best. Bingo. My inside sources say Kevin was the hold up. He was set to be named the head coach until the subject of phone bills came up. Biondi thought he should pay for his and his asst's per SLU tradition. When Kevin tried to make good Father aware of the size of his phone bills, the entire deal unraveled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Given the Agbeko commitment, it seems fairly obvious that "The Decision" isn't that big of an issue outside of the 1-2 hundred hardcore fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Could it be they really were waiting for the COY's to be announced and that it's been a done deal for awhile? That they wanted to make a big splash at the presser by announcing SLU's new HC is JC, the Naismith COY? And if he doesn't win it, there's really no problem in holding back the announcement if it truly is a done deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
