when do we fire Heath?

[charsibb]

He's a decent mid-major coach.

Decent?? He's got an 83 winning percentage at the mid major level .... Which will suit us just fine in a couple of years.

 

LOL at saying KSU is mid-major and we're not.

 

We are mid-major,like it or not.

Mid-major is a conference description. Kent State is not in a major conference, USF is (for now).

I'm using it do describe reality. We may be in a major bball conference, but we are a mid-major team.

 

And Heath is a decent mid-major coach. Not great.

 

Not sure you could even call him a decent major-school coach.

I guess you're going to need to name some decent, good, very good mid major coaches so we can see what criteria you're grading Stan on ....

Who's we?

[Who'sYourData?]

Heath has bought some time with his NCAA run last year (coming from one of the toughest basketball conferences). Considering our prior success in hiring basketball coaches we may want to let Heath work his way out of this.

 

Having said that, the status quo will not be acceptable. He needs to develop a better offensive scheme and recruit players who can execute the scheme. Out offense looks like the equivelent of the football team back in 2008 getting inside the 20 yard line and then letting Grothe run around to make something happen.

 

Did you happen to notice the recruiting class that just signed?  The on that was Top 25 in the nation out of 300+ DI basketball schools?  The five stud players that will be here next season?

IMO, We should fire the guy(s) who wouldn't let Austin play for USF. That was the third time in the last few years that an incoming BIG man was let go right before the fall semester. A coach shouldn't have to deal with that, when those players are cleared by the NCAA and then go to big name schools. It's just ridiculous.

Exactly!  This academic committee is an absolute joke.  They obviously don't know their own university well considering we could've hooked that kid up with a degree in phys ed with a "tutor" to drive his but to class.  Easily would've kept his grades up.  If he can play at Oregon, he could've played here.  That group, whoever they are, really pisses me off more times than not.  These guys aren't "students", they are entertainers.

 

As for the discussion at hand.  I was all for firing Heath, but when the man got us TWO wins in the tourney, that bought him a few seasons.  If we suck like this every season for the next 2-3 after we were in the dance, then you fire him bc no way you could win two games in the dance and not be able to recruit a decent class or two that can actually produce.

Just from the A10, for example.

 

Decent: Brian Gregory (pretty good at Dayton, not so much at Georgia Tech)

Good: Shaka Smart

Very good: Brad Stevens

Yeah, why should a university concern themselves with academics?  Preposterous!
