I suppose the only solution to avoiding the transfer and loss of recruits when a coach moves along is a heavily involved AD, but they have enough on their plate already. And other sports not to mention the BB HC would probably not enjoy that level of meddling.

I want to add that Hodgson immediately following Oats the way he did, riding coattails if you would, kinda lost some respect there... didn’t even try and fight for a job maybe he felt like he deserved. And now if we wanted to give him the job, we can’t.

Can everyone start using Hodge, the BH keeps tripping me up.

If we could land Stephens, I’d suddenly be happy Oats left. That is an upgrade.

Go back in time an build athletics when in our reality UB was cutting them. We showed up at the train station and our ticket was for a coal powered steam engine.

We will be ok because the conference we reside in. When push comes to shove, even the most plainly adequate coach can out recruit the rest of the MAC. Best education, best/biggest city. Best media attention (sadly), UB basketball both men’s and women’s is the premier destination for MAC level talent.

When filling out my bracket, I thought if we could get by TT, we’d have a much easier time with Michigan.

I like how you used the all sports measure and not their ranking in men’s b-ball. So your telling me our basketball teams gpa is lower than NYU’s fencing team? You don’t say!

By posting on this board, you are a part of it. Reality bites.

Amen

My perspective on Oats, very good motivator. The players like him and they play for him. He has had the luck to land in a situation where UB has just been much more athletic and talented then his opponents so his coaching credentials have not been overly tested. We will see now. His record vs NCAA teams this past season, 2-2. Not bad but we did have 5 seniors. Last year, 1-5. And still that one win is what he is known for. I wish him well, but I don’t see him a game changer at the SEC.

Any new HC has to embrace the style of play that is now UB basketball. Get in their shorts, don’t be afraid to shoot, and share the basketball. The culture is larger than any man. That we can’t lose.

I read this 3 times and I’m no closer to understanding what the point is or .... never mind.

step off the ledge everyone. I never thought Oats was staying put after this year. The contract extension was a kindness, basically paying for a year of a new HC. UB has been able to recruit better then the vast majority of the MAC for a decade now, minus Dambrot and his King James connections. And he is gone now. We will be OK. Probably better than Bama. And Oats will be OK with that.

Avery Johnson? Coach swap?

It isn’t that. Just the presumption that UB is not trying to get teams to come here. Do you think we are turning down the best possible opponents for home games? For what? To protect our home winning streak? That is just silly. Sure, there maybe a dollar sign that could bring in a blue blood to UB. We could maybe afford it if that is our only OOC home game....

Why is LSU even in the tournament? What if they win it all? No champ this year? And does their wins mean the NCAA credits are more valuable? Or does the SEC still get them? If it’s the former, I’m okay with it.

I played the drinking game, every time Oats makes an excuse for ASU and Hurley. Now I’m paying for an UBER. Wtf?

Shouldn’t UB just put a spy inside Liberty U. Clearly they have unlimited money for recruiting and have to look under every rock. Let them do the work and just swoop in at the end and take the player. Worked with K Mack. We could save some major $$$ on recruiting. No one actually wants to get a diploma from a school that teaches the earth is 6K years old.

It is a strange way to give 2 of the worst conferences in the country 2 tourney credits every year. $$$ good for them. Probably a decent percentage of their revenue.

Plus the university would probably pay to have an indoor track wrapped around the floor at HSBC first. sorry, Key Bank. I dated myself

Sounded like made up quotes from “unnamed” sources

Not trying to nitpick on a message board comment, just making a point, but is UNLV on your map? These moments can be fleeting. UB is penciled in. In time that can be erased. Time is now to use your marker (wallet, pocketbook).

Jeenathan right now. Tired BG will make him look like something out of spaceball
