Titan M Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 You think you guys have problems. Take a look at the Detroit Titans. Our AD has been a mess for 10 years. The department itself a hot mess for 10+ years. New University Prez wants basketball to succeed; however, is shy about firing anyone. Talk of allowing our coach to last another year. On pace for an Ofer - 2023-2024 season!! Stopped posting on the Detroit board. The slappies did not like the reality checks. At least your community has healthy discussions! With the whole new college sports landscape, maybe the Jesuit community would pull together! Detroit would only receive half help as the Sisters have taken control of our University… https://udtitanbasketball.freeforums.net/board/2/talk-detroit-titans Good luck on your coach search, and improvements to the baseball program. At least you have one. We dumped baseball after almost 100 seasons! MusicCityBilliken, gabriel and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Detroit is the new Chicago St. Yikes. One thing that always bugged me about Detroit. Dick Vitale has been the face of college basketball for decades, his claim to fame was being Detroit's HC. Detroit never has used his status to their advantage, ever. It seems they even ignore it. It's too late now but I would have had Vitale schill every chance he got for the school and help you out with hiring and marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My computer has a suggestion for you...schedule MS Valley St Delta Devils ...the only other winless D-1 team...Det by 3. Unfortunately , it shows no real world wins. In searching the computer world, my computer shows KenPom has you down for a win on Valentine's Day over IUPUI by 4. Sadly, my machine shows you losing to them by 5. I would say any win this season would definitely be a rush the court moment for the Titans. Good luck majerus mojo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitale had that program rolling in the late 70s and should have stayed with college hoops rather than take the Pistons job. Saw the Titans in the NIT a year or two after he left and they had some studs on the court. Of course, Vitale got “The Ziggy” as he calls getting fired right when ESPN arrived and it’s worked out pretty well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Detroit gave us my favorite NY Knick, Dave DeBusschere. Reminded me a lot of Conklin, a real beast. And of course, gave us the 'early out', Spencer Haywood. Miracles can happen, look at St Peter's from 2 years ago and Loyola from 5 years ago.

Titan M Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 TY for the feedback:)! College football with the SEC - Big 10 / almost 20 meetings are going to send a strong message to the NCAA soon. How the Jesuit schools that can and are making noise in the NCAA will be quite interesting how they respond and move forward… What if the Jesuit schools combined forces? Would it work? Would it go broke? Interesting times in college athletics. https://ajcunet.edu/about/colleges-universities/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Billiken message board needs a Detroit Mercy fan whining about their program here. Get off the cross we need the wood. Perhaps your cousin is Chris Broussard?

Titan M Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 A fan of Jesuit basketball since my days at Dear ‘ol UofD. One of my NCAA pools always has an all Jesuit Final 4 if possible. Enjoy when the Jesuit teams beat an ACC, Big 10/20 or other self proclaimed power school. Not whining just looking for perspective. Good luck on your coaching search!

Hope Detroit figures it out, you guys have suffered through more lousy basketball than anyone should have to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your coaching search! Since you are still here, I will give you an update. KenPom still has you down for a 5 pt win tomorrow against IUPUI (projected as your only win for the entire season). Unfortunately, my spread for that game has worsened. IUPUI by 7. Pray for KenPom results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan M Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I live out of MI so unfortunately not able to join him - lol Ohio State getting in front of the new coach hiring curve today. Smart IMO to get out in front to learn who is available. Word of advice DO NOT hire the father-son OR player with Dad who becomes part of the staff. Most times does not work… Creighton a rare exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan M Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 As Paul Harvey would say… Noe for the rest of the story… Our horrible at picking coaches AD is still in charge… Detroit decided to “mutually” part ways with Davis today. https://detroittitans.com/news/2024/3/7/mens-basketball-university-of-detroit-mercy-and-mens-head-basketball-coach-mike-davis-mutually-agree-to-part-ways.aspx Will be watching how SLU proceeds.

I gotta say, that 1-31 record this year is not going to look good on Mike Davis’s resume. Doubt he will draw much interest from SLU as a potential new coach. But, we did hire Jim Crews, so who knows.

billikenbill Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 From the National Championship game to 1-31 in 22 years. Now that’s what I call a downward career arc. Hmm, a potential landing spot for CTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
