People may want to listen, but his relationship with USF is over. Which SUCKS...this was a fantastic hire....

The only way the relationship isn't over is if it was just some stupid oversight by Kentucky.   If that is the case then I could see the two sides still working it out, but otherwise it's done.

 

"Oh? Masiello! Our bad. We thought you said Marsala! Yeah, Masiello's got like... idk... 12 degrees from here. Crazy amount of degrees. Sorry about that."

 

If it turns out to be a Kentucky goof... man... heads will roll somewhere, as they should.

Heath was THE main recruiter of the MSU national title team. He has also recruited the best class in USF history. Please don't act like he was some recruiting and coaching bum.

There is no excuse for this oversight by the Search Firm. The Search Firm should have caught this PRIOR to recommending Steve Masiello and having him actually sign a contract.   There was really no

Call that University of Phoenix online place and order him up a degree in sociology or something else easy.

How are we going to feel when he comes up with a diploma in May?  We'll just line up the nooses for the members here.

He will get his degree. He will still be at manhattan. Once this blows over, which will be quickly, he will be a prime candidate again. But we will have a coach by then...

So I have to ask this.

Did he himself know that he never officially graduated?

I cannot imagine the embarrassment of quitting your job for a better one and then not being hired because of lying about not graduating and then it being blast all over TV, radio and social media. And on top of the embarrassment now you have no job. This guy made a colossal screw up. Amazing he was a head basketball coach.

Here are some interesting comments:

"The thing that shocked me more is how cheaply USF got him. Five years, little more than $1 million per to start. The coaching carousel is always fascinating to me. But this year, it's also downright depressing."

"pitino has funded quite a few abortions."

"Hopefully it's just something stupid like he never paid the $75 "graduation fee"

"How TF can someone NOT graduate from UK? That's like failing Kindergarten."

The Manhattan press release basically said he was on leave to work through the degree issue with Kentucky. Maybe he didn't. It will be interesting to hear full story. Seems like Manhattan is giving him a chance.

On a related note, my college roommate thought he had graduated from USF. He got his dream job at Dean Witter only to be fired three weeks later when USF said he did not graduate. They had hung him out over some monetary fees, parking I think.

He had walked in graduation and everything. Parents, family all were there.

After getting fired he paid the fees and became a graduate.

Turned out good, he decided to go to law school instead of back to work.

This is not the first time that I've heard something like this, which is what made me wonder whether or not he even knew. If he didn't... man... that's gotta feel awful.

Hope it works out for him in that regard. Sucks for us, though, if it's something stupid like parking fees ...
