Blue03 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Would it be the dumbest thing ever to hire a high school coach. Someone that took a bad school and made them good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alnutt did hire Maurice Linguist and he was considered a solid get. So why now the s##t show? Something feels weird, like everyone's not pulling in the same direction. I don't know how many times I can say this. Alnutt is a football guy. The more he brings down MBB, the better Football looks. When was the last time he did any sort of improvements for Hoops? Football is getting something new every day over in their facility, while there have been zero improvements to Alumni Arena. I am sure coaches are asking what his vision is for basketball and what capital projects are in the works. I am sure they can see how uncommitted he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculous According to #sources it wasn’t the contract length. Others have hinted the issue, but I won’t say bc I haven’t confirmed. But it was of the personal family variety decision. Also, I believe SUNY max contract length is 5 years. But maybe someone can confirm that too? Edited March 28, 2023 by DaBulls99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he doesn’t know how to run bball or doesn’t care, but if people layed out a clear plan for him to go off of that’s supported in mass then who knows.

Kevin Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 28 minutes ago, dutchcountry7 said: Not at all. This falls on the Admin. You hire a search firm to be able to communicate prospective coaches outside of SUNY's FOIL requirements. You use the search firm to cast a wider net. Qualified candidates have been brought to UB. They are looking for compensation in the range of what UB told the firm would be the target range. Candidates have had an interest in working for UB. The issue is UB closing the deal. This is on the admin for not understanding the market better. As I said, quite literally their job is to match the pay range that the university supplies to qualified candidates, not sending Ben McCollum on a tour of Buffalo when I was told: "he might not like the weather here". I'm glad to hear you knock the admin though, that's not on brand for you so that's interesting. You would know and reference FOIL. If they aren't even giving you candidates who will take your job, they are useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, two sides to that story between the contract length and actually moving here with his family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then where is UB's development team trying to improve Alumni Arena? Kids want nice things and they aren't seeing it when they walk into the basketball facilities. We might all say that UB Stadium is an eye sore to watch a game, but those kids have top notch facilities they can use year round. They don't worry as much about the stadium they play in six times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I'm guessing the next time we hear a name is by way of [at least semi] official announcement. Probably means a few days of anxious silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling room is a cubby with some LED lights. Basketball locker room is a little older but larger lockers, carpet, seats, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
