JettFlight5 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Until the athletic dept can afford it it is what it is. i suggest you increase your gift to slu athletics That's fine with me. If that's what it takes, a few checks can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Cowboy - I forgot about that rule - not sure if it still is in place or not either. Old Man - SLU was not a lower program then Loyola of Chicago is. I would hope the school is using some of the approximate $600K they got from the first NCAA trip to help fund raises for the assistants and other perks for the bb program - if not then shame on them. As far as giving them more money - I help funding them when the times were bad now that the program is making money it is time to use the profit for the program and stop poor mouthing it all the time. After all that is why we gave in the first place so the program could improve and then reach even higher status with its success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Old Man - SLU was not a lower program then Loyola of Chicago is. Cheeseman SLU is not a lower program than Loyola of Chicago is but Whitesell as HC of Loyola was much higher in the scale than his job as assistant coach at SLU is or was.

JMM28 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Whitesell was making about 300 or a little less as HC at Loyola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappy96 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I would assume that Crews asked for additional benefits for his staff ($$) during his drawn out negotiation this spring. If he didn't get it then I'm sure Whitesell started looking and saw something in the SJ opportunity that he felt made it more attractive (plus more $$). Just a theory.

cheeseman Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Isn't it 6 years to get all of one year's tournament money? You get the $600K for 5 years - so it is a total of $3million. The A10 lets you keep 75% of it and then you still get your share of the 25% that the league distributes from all the teams who went to the dance.

jimbofive Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 tatuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum Yup. Offer the dude $5-600k a year. Then when his kid goes pro, cut it in half or send him packing. Everybody wins regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Frank C was trying to talk up Ahearn as a replacement for Whitesell. Give that F'er from Minnesota before Ahearn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think hiring future Billiken Jayson Tatum's dad might convince him to stay at SLU for two years instead of going one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I still say SLU should get Jamall Walker from Illinois; make him the associate head coach. Pay him more than what he's getting as an assistant coach at Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
