you're right, aggiebred. coach bibbs doesn't seem to have any problems recruiting top notch players and she's up against the very same obstacles that eaves is. moton at central has worse facilities than we do and he doesn't have a problem recruiting top notch players...

On top of that Molton doesn't have half the pedigree Eaves had when he first came to A&T. I remember everybody bragging on the fact that we have a nationally known coach and how we would soon be sending fellas to the pros in no time.... 8 years later....

i don't have a list of names, but i have some qualities that i'd like to see in our next mbb coach. first and foremost, i'd like to find a candidate who has proven to be a "phenomenal" recruiter. one who can overcome the disadvantage of below average d1 basketball facilities like coach bibbs or nccu's levelle moton or howard's kevin nickelberry. they should be extremely well connected to the national aau and high school basketball circuits. How are they great recruiters? All Moton's kids are either transfers to his program thru coaching contacts or kids he coached in AAU / High School. He's recruiting is so great and yet Eaves beat him last year and now their record is only one game better than ours. Nickelberry..... Same Nickelberry who couldn't coach at Hampton and was fired and had to go coach a team in Africa because no Division I team wanted him...... Get better examples

NEW VENDOR - CORBETT CENTER. PLEASE BOYCOTT THEM. I DON'T KNOW WHO HIRED THIS COMPANY AND WHY THEY DID. THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS ... HOT DOG $4 - BIGGER BUT NOT BETTER ... SODAS $3 AND NOT COLD ... SMALL BOX OF POP CORN $3 WHICH USE TO BE $1 AND CANDY $3. I WAS SCARED TO ASK THE PRICE OF THE PEANUTS. OUR STUDENTS DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY AND THE AGGIE FANS DON'T LIKE THE PRICES EITHER. BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT UNTIL THEY DROP THE PRICES OR LEAVE. THEY ARE PIMPING US AND OUR "ADMINISTRATION" IS LETTING THEM DO THIS. CHECK OUT WHO IS BEHIND THE COUNTER SMILING AT YOU AND BEATING YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY. BOYCOTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How else do you think we are going to pay for all these upgrades to Aggie Athletics without major corporate sponsors

I TRUST HILTON WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE END OF THE SEASON IF WE HAVE ANOTHER BAD WON - LOST RECORD. EVERYONE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET AND WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS AND THAT. HOW IN THE HECK DO YOU ALL KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE CAN AFFORD TO DO. WHEN WE WERE LOSING IN FOOTBALL SOME PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LEE'S CONTRACT EXPIRES BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A NEW COACH. WELL, YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED ... WE GOT A NEW COACH WITH A HIGH PRICE TAG AND HE CAN COACH. NOW, THEY CAN DO THE SAME DAMN THING IF THEY WANT TO AND GET A HIGH PRICE BASKETBALL COACH WHO CAN COACH. THESE COACHES WILL PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THE WILL BE WINNERS. THEY CAN FIND THE MONEY TO GET A COACH IF THE WANT TO SO QUIT SAYING THEY CAN 'T BECAUSE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW. And what did it cost us? A baseball coach who was pissed that he's asked for money for years and yet we increase football salaries by 300 K. Its an athletic department , not just football and basketball

They gave State fits last night without Clement in the lineup. While I think we could play much better; NCCu does have better athletes. As I said before Simpson and Buck are the only two guys on our team that look like physical D 1 players. Monsters right it stop and finishes with Eaves. As example If there is no off season weight training thats Eaves fault and if they have one its quite evident that only a few players participate. As a Coach you have to set a tone. And if you dont want put in the work then you go to the bench or churn the scholarships like Bibbs does. Funny how you don't mention that 4 of Moton's 5 wins are against Division II teams. His other win is against A&T. He got crushed by Eastern Kentucky and UNCC. Guy has talent, but can't coach

Perfect job for Eaves. Let him be a fund raiser. He is good at that.

Aggie Monster, I agree with you. Any true Aggie that has watch Eaves teams these past 8 years knows he cannot coach. He my "know" basketball but his job at A&T isn't "Basketball Historian." You don't coach at a school for 8 years and have our record and be a good coach. So let's just accept that we've given Eaves enough time and he didn't get the job done. It's time for us to hire another coach. Case closed!

I never said Eaves could coach. Never..... I do realize that no matter who's in here , if he ain't funded , WE WILL LOSE. Look at Football, Broadway comes in , hires coaches who are better because he has the FUNDS to do so and what happens.
Eaves isn't the only one coaching out there. And when you have assistants making next to nothing, losing is what you will get.
But hey , what do i know ?
