Lord Elrond Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Maybe they will try to get an award winning AD like Chris May to replace him? OkieBilliken and BillTheCat like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Griffin Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I don’t get this, so he, with the coaching staff said nah we pass on the NIT and it sounds like the players and maybe school admin wanted to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They notified the NCAA/NIT before any offer was made that they didn't want to be offered. The Bonnie AD didn't expect the NCAA to leak this, but come on......what isn't leaked these days. The departing AD does admit the communications on this issue weren't done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 This sounds fishy - weak reason for him to resign. Something else is behind this - either he was unhappy or the school has an issue with him that might not even be AD related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In itself it was just a lousy job of communicating. Maybe it was just the latest example, the straw that finally broke the camels back?

White Pelican Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Yeah, I saw some report on this yesterday. I think the guy figures it's his last, best chance to get the hell out of Olean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 From the SBU Forum, which is as creditable as our forum. So take as you wish. Just so everyone is clear, this has been brewing a while and is not primarily related to the NIT stuff. This week’s fiasco just served as the last straw and accelerated things.

I'm surprised we got told about the head coach thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Kyrel Luc entered the portal on March 18. Barry Evans entered on March 17. Melian Martinez also on the 18. Chad Venning on March 20. These would leave the Bonnies with 8 scholarship players and Banks, Mika-Woods and Pride are all seniors. Schmidt goes into next year with 5 players.

I wouldn’t be upset if the Bonnie’s had a down year or two (but with a great NET so it helps us if we beat them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
