Professor..........sigh! This convo is getting old cause you keep contradicting yourself. First you want a plan, then you dont, now you do AGAIN. I believe, I dont believe. I have no faith, but yet I'm going to give him a chance. I want a plan, but dont want a plan. Later man. How am I? I have said from the beginning , I would like a plan or Vision or some type of information as to where the AD is going to take our athletic department. When have i said different? I have even said it should be goals for each sport. That message has been constant Its that simple. Man you should have known I would Quote this post. Your contradicting your self to prove that your not a contradiction, LOL. I started to let it go, but this is a blatant one and really easy to find. These two statements are like 5 post apart. Decks, I agree, it is clearly laid out. Eaves is not Hilton's hire, so I doubt he stands behind him. He's probably trying to figure out what to do with him without wasting a lot of money in the process. While I understand how people like aggie2ru and naborhoodsuperstar feel, Hilton has to look at this another way. He has to figure out HOW he is going to do it prior to doing it. Professor no wonder you haven't gotten a response from Hilton. If you're expecting anything other than "I'm considering my options" or "I'm looking into the matter" then you are delusional. What do you expect the man to say? "Yeah I'm looking for Eaves replacement right now and this is my plan"...........what! Hell no. Why would you publicly say that your looking for a new coach before the season is even half way over. Only a fool AD would do that. Be reasonable Professor. You know the man cant tell anyone if he is planning on firing Eaves or not. And he damn sure aint about to tell you when he is going to do it. Don't want him to tell me anything. Not trying to be important, Just would like a response. Hell i have emailed for sponsorship information so i could personally deliver them to people who make decisions. No response. Just trying to help my school , but it is what it is. Contradict your way out of that one,

we should be called "no meac championship university" considering how long and infrequently its been since we win championships. no reason a university the size of ours should rank near the very bottom of meac athletics... but here's what gives me hope. i said the exact same thing about norfolk state about 3 or 4 years ago, now look at them? they've always been strong in track, but now look at d1's biggest sports at nsu, football and men's basketball? not to mention, their women's basketball is rapidly improving too. 3 or 4 years ago, i called norfolk state a sleeping giant. now, we're the sleeping giant! i just pray that we get it together like norfolk did. they're very similar to us...

Hell i have emailed for sponsorship information so i could personally deliver them to people who make decisions. No response. Just trying to help my school , but it is what it is. Contradict your way out of that one, [/quote] Your trying real hard. So i shall break this down for you like we are sitting in Crosby Hall in Freshman English. You asked me question which said ......... What do you expect the man to say? "Yeah I'm looking for Eaves replacement right now and this is my plan"...........what! Hell no. Why would you publicly say that your looking for a new coach before the season is even half way over. Only a fool AD would do that.My response was.................... Don't want him to tell me anything. Which was referring to your statement concerning the confidential information that Hilton is or could be looking for Eaves replacement. And that you thought i wanted him to tell me that, which isn't the case. So do you get it , i don't want Hilton to tell me if he is thinking about getting rid of Eaves...... Do you Understand Now............ I then said I'm not important, however i would like a response to my email. Hell an automated message will do. And then gave a situation where i emailed him about sponsorship information and what happened. Do you still have questions or did i clear that up for you? I was answering your question which you asked me on 1/8/2012 @10:46pm. I hope this clears this matter up for you, now back to the topic @ hand

so what is the main problem with the men's hoops program? coaching or resources? Simply put..........it's coaching. Go to one of the games and you can see it w/your own eyes. Resources/administration are a problem at the majority of MEAC schools so that is not a valid excuse.

The problems I see are 1- how the games are Promoted, 2- the same problems the fans had with football and engrained culture of (what can I wear to be seen) 3- Style of play " If A&T would run and gun and put on a show each game they would pack the house!" A&T is not a walk the ball up the court type of team. We have the players to be a run and pressure type of team AND THAT'S HOW WE SHOULD PLAY. They play to slow not good for the fans are the the type of players we have. 4- Not winning when it counts.

I sent my son's info to both Scott & Hilton...Hilton responded and asked me would I like to meet with him..I said sure and set up the meeting...When we arrived at the meeting, he asked me how could he help me? I told him I was following up on our email. He then says," I dont have anything to do with recruiting, those decisions are made by someone above me, the coaches" I then said, since we dont have a head coach, I thought I could talk to you, thats why I'm here...Needless to say, the meeting lasted 5 minutes, and was a total waste of time. As the kids say...I'm just saying ! ! !

If he wants to play ball AND someone wants him then that's where I would want him to go. If you would rather him go to a HBCU and no one wants to bite then just go elsewhere.
