We're just not a good basketball school, never have been....and that will be reflected in next hire too I think. Hope I'm wrong.

Give me serious names of who was considering us. - coolbean MU - 12/31 14:14:23

I'm not sure if you're living in an alternate universe. - Evenflow MU - 12/31 14:22:08

Umm, no. KA was not the "best" we could hire. (nm) - Lerxst MU

Is there a new chancellor? (nm) - Evenflow MU - 12/31 13:50:08

From the last time we made a basketball decision, yes.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 13:52:20

He's pretty lame duckish. (nm) - Evenflow MU - 12/31 13:55:14

Maybe. But that's not the point. - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 13:56:57

And he doesn't have the habit of causing basketball progress - Evenflow MU - 12/31 14:05:37

We don't need him to do anything - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 14:06:19

So if no one is doing anything, how is anything - Evenflow MU - 12/31 14:07:06

The chancellor doesn't need to do anything - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 14:23:45

Doesn't the chancellor have to approve all head coaching - Evenflow MU - 12/31 14:24:57

You think he'll look at a good hire and refuse to sign off - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 14:56:11

Who knows. You said he isn't doing anything. (nm) - Evenflow MU - 12/31 14:59:48

Again, that's the appropriate level of involvement. - zodiac6 JC - 12/31 15:36:30

So would you leave the BOC out of it as well? (nm) - Evenflow MU - 12/31 16:02:30

Absolutely right - Uncle John MU
