Yeah, this is almost like starting a completely new program but with the facilities already in place. Might make the job more attractive to a potential candidate.
Don't have to worry about dealing with anybody else's baggage.

Georgetown and St. Johns just announced hiring of new coaches. Georgia Tech announced last week a new coach. I know these are P5 PWI, but why would it be more difficult for mid-major schools to not hire a coach soon after the season ended, especially if you had an entire season to search? We are not targeting the same coaches as P5 schools and people keep saying there are "tons" of good coaches out there. Is our coaching job not that attractive or could it be administration, money, etc?

These are the types of situations that can develop when leadership won’t get out in front of things. We are six months after releasing our coach and we have the worse case imaginable…fleeing players, still no coaching staff and no public comment on what’s happening from our AD. We don’t l know what leadership has or hasn’t done, and that’s the real problem. Look, I remember a few months ago Aggies was on suicide watch about a new head foot coach, with players in the portal and signing day right around the corner. Y’all gonna have to learn to have some trust in our leadership or you gonna stay one step from jumping off the bridge on these types of decisions. I’m more worried about getting field turf in the stadium than I am about hiring the right coach…they seem to do a pretty good job at that. We definitely know what the administration has not done. They have not hired a coach yet. Undisputeable. What happened in football is not even close compared to what is happening now. First of all, the coach was fired at the end of the season, not at the beginning. Secondly, the football team almost qualified for postseason play vs winning less than 50% of conference games. Lastly, folks calmed down once they determined how many foundation players did not leave the program. This gave everyone an idea if we would be in a total rebuild for next year or if the new coach had good players and leaders to build around. That is not the case for the MBB team. They have no foundation player or leader to build around. Several people on this forum has realized or succumbed to next year's MBB season being a rebuild no matter who is hired as HC. We still may successfully overcome these challenges in MBB, but this is not the same as what happened in football this season. |

Hate to say it like this but kids entering transfer could really be easier on new HC, less time evaluating current talent to see if they fit your vision. More time and monies can be allocating to securing players that do align with your plans. It really could be making his job easier. We were unbalanced as a team with too many guards. This could make the new coach's job easier by picking his own players, but he missed out on the opportunity to evaluate if he preferred any of the players who left. The player or players may have worked well in his system. |

Does Johnson have any eligibility? I asked this earlier with no response.

I notice that all of the transfers have been out-of-state recruits with the exception of Crews who was a walk-on. Only 2 North Carolinian are left on the team. Felton has already transferred once, but has not played so he would still be eligible for the one-time exception. I am not wishing anything, just saying since others are keeping track of how many times a player has transferred.

My assumption/hope is that as we become more acclimating being a CAA member we will be more professional and efficient in our hiring practices and staffing.
It should have already taken place years ago but we didn’t take the opportunity then.
As I tell my kids, mistakes are learning opportunities. Hopefully the administration is learning.

You know they probably have to commission a study with charts and graphs first 😂

I do believe that is what B indicated. I think he understands what the rules are without your explanation. I don't see how a rule that is primarily responsible for the increase in players entering the transfer portal each year is cracking down on anything. These new rules and waivers have made it easier to transfer multiple times. That is why some kids transfer 2 to 3 times without sitting out one year. I was under the impression that he was unaware of this, thus the explanation. Marcus Watson has transferred 3 times and has not sat out once. He will use the graduate transfer waiver since he already used the one-time exception. Kam Woods will have transferred 3 times. The one-time exception only applies to students transferring between four-year collegiate institutions, therefore, because he attended JUCO, he still has the one-time exception available to use for his next college. He will not sit out. I assume you read the article. Based on the article, the NCAA is now trying to reduce the amount of times student athletes are transferring in the portal. "These new rules and waivers have made it easier to transfer multiple times. That is why some kids transfer 2 to 3 times without sitting out one year." I believe they cited examples similar but not necessarily exact to some of our athletes. The NCAA thinks it has gotten out of control like many members on this board and people in general. They are implementing new rules to limit waiver exemptions, which it seems have been rather loose up until now based on the article. These modified rules take effect in 23/24 season. They won't help us right now or in every situation, but they should reduce the amount of portal activity. That's what the NCAA is aiming for. Like I said, hopefully this will calm folks moving forward. I think we will be fine. |

I looked at the date it was written and the title and assume it was discussing the current rules. Now that I have read the entire article, I agree it will slow down player's entry into the transfer portal. This also explains why this is the highest number of players entering the portal ever. Thanks for the clarification. |
