Well, that would certainly take some contractual gymnastics.
I guess at least that gives us an idea on the ceiling for what Powell is making, regardless of my dum-dum Tommy Lloyd miss. Lloyd had been at Gonzaga for what...20 years?
He attended a nondenominational school though.
We await ‘The Deciding’ (‘The Decision’ was already used up a few years back, remember?) of which fortune of money will be accepted as the fates of major college basketball programs, the lives of numerous young and old men, the emotional well-being of millions of baller fans around the Nation, and the destinies of Head Coaches and the future salaries and lives of everyone involved all hang in the balance. Since the correlation between securing top talented recruits and The Recruiters seems to be the determining factor for the success and prominence of your future basketball program, you have to amortize the skyrocketing salaries of The Recruits against all of these resulting effects of the success and prominence of your program.
In other words... BACK UP THE TRUCK.

Exactly. I hope we can keep the coaching team together because I think it is working great, but who knows what is happening behind the scenes. Maybe two new coaches would be even better.
At any rate, no coaching team stays the same for long anyway.

You get what you pay for.
If two new coaches (who are presumably attainable) would be even better, wouldn't Kentucky at least have their pulse on whoever they are?
Don't you know we identify talent better.

People have alluded to him being persona non grata due to some incident that caused his previous stint in the athletics department to be cut short.
Yes, but like any industry, there's always going to be many qualified candidates. You usually lean towards the ones you have ties with and people in your circle can vouch for. Sometimes, this bias makes you miss out on people who would have been a better fit.
Better for us maybe, not necessarily better for KY or other teams.
Better ties to Ill players/HS coaches maybe,
better coaches for BU's system maybe,
Better chemistry with our remaining coaches maybe
HONEST maybe LOL (JK not saying OA or Chin are not), etc.
And I'm saying MAYBE as in glass half full maybe.
I honestly don’t recall that far back if we posted the job before hand the official dismissal or not. I’ll take your word for it. It’s certainly interesting if that’s the case.
This Board has been all downhill since Kenny slam33 deserted us. 39 posts in his first 19 hours, never to be heard from again. As poet/philosopher Destiny Hope Cyrus once said, “You came in like a wrecking ball. Yeah, you just closed your eyes and swung.” Please come back, Kenny slam33. Please come back.
I think he is on the charger. Guy is a machine!

I think he ran out of beer.
Couldn't have happened. Whitman fired Cubit on his first day on the job (Mar. 5, 2016).
Illinois fires Cubit just months after 2-year deal
New Illini athletic director Josh Whitman fired football coach Bill Cubit, just a little more than three months the coach's interim tag was removed and he was signed to a two-year deal.
He introduced Smith at a press conference on Mar. 7.

Guess he just found a new supply. I think he's mixing it with orange kool-aid. I'm not sure what that drink is called, maybe a kennyslam?
Good to see you back! Only thing I can think of at this point is Whitman is having trouble locating giant floats for the parade when O and Chin are retained. I-L-LBack to the subject at
