Not only did they miss out on a $2 million dollar payday but I would expect Schertz contract would auto extend and increase his buyout. It stinks, but this is just good biz by SLU. Like hiring Schertz from D2 was good biz by ISU. We really got lucky that they got screwed. If they get in the Tourney, win a game and especially two (which would have been quite possible), then he's suddenly a national darling.

Because he needs the clicks. He annoys me as well but if the entire SLU fanbase ignores him than the post gives us less attention than they already do. But I guess when you aren't a SLU fan stuff like that probably isn't important to you I suppose. But ya that's why it's important for everyone to read everything he does. slufan13 and TheA_Bomb like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 2 hours ago, CenHudDude said: The posters at sycamore pride.com finally realize that he is leaving, and none of them have anything good to say about SLU. One went so far as to say that Schertz would have a hard time building a team this spring. I understand the fans going crazy, but a lot of them don’t seem to realize that players seem to be able to transfer anytime they want without penalty and sell their services to the highest bidder. I don’t think they understand what some of their current starters can earn on the open market. They think $300-400,000 can keep their team together. They don't really understand the kind of dollars that are being thrown around across basketball. TheA_Bomb and CenHudDude like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 https://sycamorepride.com/threads/lebro-hcjs-the-decision-saint-louis-or-run-it-back.45870/page-50#post-377859 Open message to Sycamore fans...... I am still rooting for the Sycamores tonight. You need to enjoy the ride and appreciate that Schertz will be leaving the program much better than he found it. If it wasn't us, it would be someone else. I expect in a few years we will be experiencing what it is happening to your program right now. Good luck tonight and stay classy. cgeldmacher, BuiltFordBills, sludevil and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea because I haven't heard about it in a decade. Maybe they stopped punishing teams for it being too low? There is even a searchable database for a coach's APR (https://web3.ncaa.org/aprsearch/coachAprSearch) Travis Ford 2021-22 955 2020-21 979 I guess they didn't count 2019-20 2018-19 938 2017-18 857 Josh Schertz 2021-22 957 2020-21 978 Finally to show that APR still bullsh*t Penny Hardaway 2021-22 1000 Cool good research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 One of the best things about St. Louis is the colloquial use of the term "Hoosier" in place of red neck or hick. Just hilarious and when I went to SLU, I adopted its usage Usage in a sentence: "These hoosiers are slowing the TSA line down." Variations when referring to multiple hoosiers: [While at 6 Flags] "Look at those hoose-wads." So it really makes me laugh the usage during that NIT interview. Also love The Mad Hoosier from former St. Louis public access television, "World Wide Magazine". You can find them on YouTube fyi.

Kelsey and Grant success drove fans into complete sellouts. Granted their arena has been upgraded but still holds only 4.5k. I’ve heard thru the grapevine the deal is done. CofC got some buyout $$$’s from UL, $1 to $1.5mm. And that Mack would make $1.5 mm. Also, rumor is that Mack told CofC to start a process to get into the A10. CofC fans are really excited over that. So am I, as I have a friend who holds 4 season tickets to the Cougars. I’ve been to Charleston many times, and think it’s a dump. Stupidest state in the country, biggest cock roaches I’ve ever seen, and hotter than hell in the summer. Not to mention the mosquitoes!
