I assume this is what UI would owe him if they fired him? How much does he owe UI if he leaves?

nope. If he's hired by another school, he would owe the buyout (to Illinois)

Can't shout with your tongue in cheek but can stir the potYes… but only Top 120 at Colgate. FIRE THE BUM!
Doesn’t the other school pay it

probably. but it's employee that's on the hook. bottom line is that a massive buyout is a huge deterrent for poaching
Somebody here will find a way to be upset about a tactician with a connection to a 5 star PG

He was at Stanford. Any overlap with Andrej?
Edit: No they did not overlap.

Is this supposed to be TA's replacement?
I knew nothing about Crocker, so my initial take was underwhelming. upon further review, seems like a very shrewd add

That's a total misread of people's complaints about other current staff members (which probably don't need to be relitigated for the 100th time).

Love the hire!
Y'all read too much into things. That post was literally just saying we got an assistant coach.
I like the add- clear upgrade in coaching experience from last year and he could turn into a home run if he adds to the player development side and is another voice on the X’s and O’s side.
It’s hard to judge his recruiting given he hasn’t been anywhere with the funds or cache to recruit top talent but every assistant has to start somewhere in developing relationships and he appears to already have a connection with a five star PG, hard not to like this hire

We just hired a guy known for guard development and game planning……and you mean like every head coach ever?
any thoughts on the next potential home and home possibility - who'd we like?
Was he our first choice???
It looks like he was announced as a Colgate hire on June 2, 2022 and Andrej visited Stanford on June 1, 2022.
Crocker was the Director of Player Development at Stanford when Adam Cohen was an assistant coach there….
Heard we are trying to renew Tennessee. Working on another one possibly as well.
