2017 Coaching Changes - emphasis on MVC

If you want to get rid of Lusk who are you replacing him with that is better?

The Kickapoo coach is probably better when it comes to X's and O's

Some people on this board might think that's an exaggeration but it's not. I think most reasonably successful high school coaches could do a better job with in game coaching than our current HC.

Heck, go grab Keltner out of the Kinesiology department at MSU and he'd be an upgrade.

If anybody is going to go after Marshall, the bidding would probably start in the $5 mill range. I think he's pretty much priced out of almost everything.

We are in year 10 of the Simmons era.

165-159 and 12 wins coming against sub-D1 competition

74-105 in MVC play (60-65 in last 7 years if you want to consider that a bright spot??)

Finished above .500 twice

Has coached the schools #1 and #2 all time leading scorers and all time leading rebounder

Never played in a postseason tournament that wasn't a pay for play

Year 10, a team with 6 seniors and 1 RS Jr is considered a rebuilding year.

Why would this be considered a bad track record?

You should immediately write this same message in an email to the Athletic Director as well.

What makes you think the AD has an email address??

That gave me a hearty laugh.

Rumblings around BearNation is that a donor has stepped up to foot the buyout bill for Lusk.

It has been said that this weekend plays no role in that decision so I think that he has already been bought out and is being allowed to finish. So even if they do go on a magical run, his 5 year extension for making the NCAAs wouldn't be triggered.
