Next HC

[gwebb1994]

We play in a 40+ year old building that is not fan or student athlete friendly.

We have no exclusive indoor practice facility.

There are no known plans for either on the table.

Good luck trying to hire a top level D2 or D3 coach with facilities light years ahead of ours to come here. We will quickly find out how brilliant Craft and Luther were in recruiting when whatever garbage heap coach we hire comes in and restocks the roster with the weakest talent level since Scruggs was here.

Coaches talk to each other. Tim Craft is held in high regard, and justly so. Coaches know about the ultimatum he was unjustly given back in December by Dipshit Downs and Tire Boy. Any coach with any credibility will avoid us like the plague.

An ultimatum you say? Do tell. Haven't heard anything about that, but I have no doubt it was dumb as hell.

Common knowledge that Downs was giving thought to a change if we started slow in conference play. Asinine.

Yep, I'd have been polishing up the resume and putting out feelers too. Unbelievable levels of delusion that Tim Craft might be the thing standing between GWU and elite levels of men's basketball success.

Happy for Tim that he doesn't have to deal with that anymore. That said, it looks like a good interview list -- here's hoping the one who gets hired only has to work for Downs for a few months.

Johnson and Giltner both fit Downs type. He loves young men he can under pay and exert his dominance over. They could be good fits for 2-3 seasons until they head for greener pastures.

Well I’ll eat crow! Luther named HC!

[gwebb1994]

Give me a heaping plate of excrement casserole. I’ll be damned, they made the right choice.

Now to try to rerecruit our guys in the portal and see what kind of staff he puts together.

More proof if Downs and Goodrich had just gave him the damned job instead of dicking around and even hiring a search firm, the roster would have stayed intact.

As expected based on what Luther said on the podcast. Christian Turner at NGU seems like another logical possibility.
