Don't matter now. The AD and real AD Martin screwed this program up several years ago. Hope they can right the ship with a dynamite hire to guide our program back to respectability and champions. We will see if they have learned anything about hiring a bona-fide coach "soon". We may not have the Championships or the HC YET . But we damn sure are respected in the CAA. How soon after the season is over do you think the new basketball HC will be named ? They have had a long time to think about this and hopefully the AD and Chancellor make a good decision. My guess is it will be very soon after the season is over.

Probably not before a NCAA March Madness champion is crowned.

Note to self:
"AD (...) was huge in getting this done" "...and the donors really stepped up."

It ain't cheap to live in Charleston and the surrounding area..... With that being said, the salary numbers have been established by a conference foe.
Shumpert is nowhere near a $1.2 million coach.....nor was Jones, Alexander, Eaves or Hunter.
I'm not saying our next head coach needs to be paid 1.2 million per year, but I would like to have a head coach that has the potential to be a $1.2 million coach ELSEWHERE during his coaching career.
As far as how much we need to pay our next coach, we have to honestly look at what our conference foes are paying and be in line with them.
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON DOES NOT HAVE A FOOTBALL PROGRAM. BASKETBALL IS THEIR ATHLETICS CASH COW.

This puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the conference, particularly the basketball only schools. Not sure what it means for those schools that also sponsor football.

Agreed, CofC is going all in on Basketball...not surprising seeing they have no football program. They want to be relevant and have secured a solid mid major coach unless someone with even deeper pockets comes along. I don't expect A&T or any of the football schools to try to match that type of payout for men's basketball.

No it doesn't because that coach has earned his salary over the years in there program . What I see is a program that is willing to pay a successful coach that has proven himself in order to keep him . Now when A&T gets the right coach into this program that has proven himself in our program then I would say the standard is set for his salary. But until then I would never invest a million or so dollars into a coach until he has proven himself at A&T .

Since the discussion went into the direction of salary after pj's post, I brought back the salary poll thread. I am not sure if the admin will move the few salary posts to that thread or not, but it probably is the more appropriate thread to discuss the new MBB HC salary and we can hopefully get more participation in the poll.

Sorry about that. ( I was running on fumes coming back from the CIAA)

Topics come so quickly due to BDV popularity there is no way to remember what was discussed earlier. 🙂
