Mediocre Hire: And Not My Opinion....



"What we saw in this case, and in so many other coaching positions that opened and closed this spring, is how much less common it is becoming for even the best jobs to wind up in the proper hands. That’s largely because so many athletic directors have no idea what a qualified basketball coach looks like. It’s also because ADs that have such quality coaches are compensating them so well that climbing the coaching ladder no longer is essential."

  3. And this is 1 reason why Czabe you don't let a hyperlink speak for you. Put the info in my face with minimal clicking or we won't see it.

  4. Maryland is not that good of job so they got a coach that is not a super star. Dont overthink it Steve.

  5. Great job Steve. You're so knowledgeable about this coach that you link comments from another writer. You work in Rockville and hate UMD. Makes sense. How about posting more pictures of a so called riot that happened ten years ago? Way to stay fresh. Got any Bill Clinton jokes you want to tell?

  6. I'll be damned if the guy isn't a dead ringer for a young Jim Calhoun. Let's hope he wins as many national championships (preferably without the Calhoun cheating).
