Would have been perfect timing if we made a shitty hire (5pm on a Friday, this other news also hitting at 5pm on a Friday) but instead it looks like we got a solid coach. Oh well. I'd rather be excited than jaded.

Calhoun came in to get something in writing to bring it back to Ohio. Of the people that may or may not have declined us I am most upset that we may or may not have offered him.

Maybe he declined the mens head coach position first

TBN has the details. We owe him the extra 100k

Temple got their guy.

Thank you, Temple! Very cool! Now they just need to speed run the next few offers so they’re a bigger embarrassment

He must have really liked the NIL money there

Yeah well we’ve made a lot more offers than Temple has. Waaay ahead of them. They’re only on their first offer??

Our enrollment continues to go up while nationally college enrollment goes down. Look at Akron’s enrollment from the past decade. UB continues to be selective and has increasing enrollment. Applications didn’t jump in 2019, but having a strong athletics program helps increase applications 35% in a decade

Are any of those second contracts? Senderoff has to be on his third by now. Kowalczyk and Groce probably second. Every candidate so far except Calhoun would have been a first time head coach too

That’s actually pretty decent in the MAC. I can’t find recent salaries but as of 2019 only Boals was higher than 400

This is true but their incompetence appears to be at the indecision level and not the constantly getting rejected level, which is where we are. I don’t know which is worse. We also have a university president and they do not.

Just has to keep those big ol feet inbounds when inbounding the ball! Real talk though one of my favorite basketball Bulls. Hope he has a successful coaching career that includes UB

Furman is a decent mid major program. Bucknell might have moved to #2 if this guy was taking too long.

This is the only thing on Twitter that gave more details

Yeah and Temple is open. Haven't seen him linked to that job, but he was a top candidate and "rumored" to be taking the Bucknell job.

Who else declined? I thought we were at 4 Unless you're considering Whitesell, which in that case is fair.

In 2020, Safir co-authored a study with Ken Pomeroy titled “The guide to fouling when leading (or tied)” after USF opted to foul in non-traditional scenarios. I would like this hire please.

We can offer the zenith as well

Whoever is taking this job has absurd leverage.

Idk I like the basketball room over the wrestling room. Wrestling room is a cubby with some LED lights. Basketball locker room is a little older but larger lockers, carpet, seats, etc.

Would assume Norfolk State since he has NY ties. I wouldn't be enthusiastic about him but wouldn't hate the hire. He's at least been to the NCAA tournament which Calhoun can't say.

Thi This was installed today

And Santora's determined the prize too

True. We’ll probably never know the numbers so hard to get a full picture. I’m fine with auto extensions for performance (regular or tournament champ) but in just normal contract terms 6 years doesn’t seem like the going rate. If it was 6 years but east buyout for UB after 4 then shame on UB for not taking it, if it was 6 years with a whitesell buyout or worse, nah
