If you are just listing Good People in Evansville, the list is a lot longer.
If you are suggesting him as the next Head Basketball Coach at UE…. That’s laughable


Thank you for superiority complex. I love how the East side snobbery looks down their noses at USI.

Watson retired from coaching D2. SIU didn’t want him, but we are supposed to want him now?

Yes, it’s a superiority complex that’s the issue…

If the new AD did this at this late stage without having someone lined up, that doesn't bode well for his tenure.

Quit focusing on “late stage” hiring.

Now is much better than March 2023

It’s early

That's your take, East Side Snobbery? I am pretty sure Aces44 doesn't even live in Evansville, but yeah, he is an east side snob.

Yes, Rodney Watson is a great guy. I have had a few conversations with him when he was here. Super nice and down to earth. You could often find him having lunch at a local bowling alley, conversing with the regulars.

He chose to quit coaching. I am pretty sure he is in his 60's, and I would bet that since he chose to retire from a successful run at USI, he is much happier sitting behind the mic, calling games for the Salukis, than jumping into a major rebuild at UE. It's a moot point.

I must've missed where they canceled the 2022-23 season.

That was my first thought, but I'm hoping it isn't true. He's a real bulldog, and I'm hoping he will get the job done. I'm pretty sure the next coach won't be an older coach at the end of his career who doesn't think that losing is all that bad.

What you missed what Lick not being able to coach Eskimos
to a Bon Fire; and that there are still 1000 players in the portal

Hint: This year is a disaster no matter who is on the sidelines

Hasn’t Watson been a part of more MVC Championships than any other coach? Herrin, Weber, Painter. That’s a lot of banners. UE could do worse.

I doubt it happens, but there are far worse choices out there.

Your ridiculous opinion has been duly noted
