In reply to: Stout for 3 's message, "I always find it amusing when schools throw these guys out there for these jobs, like every job is UCLA hoops or Notre Dame football. Exactly why would Tubby Smith leave UK where he wins the SEC every year and is huge, to go to Virginia where he has to be in a league with Duke and North Carolina, two programs he can never eclipse in the long-term? If you believe in top 25 and top 50 wins, ND got shafted again, but Brey is a decent coach, though I think he has always underutilized Torin Francis. Gonzalez would do well there but he'll probably go to UMass, and UVA wouldn't want him to replace his mentor. The A-10 could replace 1 coach who is fun to beat with another." on Tue March 15, 2005 00:08:50

Who the heck is Travis Ford? (NT) -- J�Dete93, Tue March 15, 2005 07:05:35
- Former star point guard at Kentucky now head coach at Eastern Kentucky (NT) -- ant hill, Tue March 15, 2005 07:25:43
  - Did not realize he as the coach at EKU. Thanks. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Tue March 15, 2005 07:27:23
Ron Ganulin: What a disgrace. St. Francis has not even a shoestring budget, they don't even have the wax for the shoetrings. Somehow this guy pulls out 15 wins every year and gets players. Terrible by decision by St. Francis. I'm hearing Pecora might be headed to UMASS, the guy is a hell of a recruiter. Mihalik would do a great job there too. (NT) -- '85, Tue March 15, 2005 09:06:55
- Are you referring to Joe Mihalic from Niagara? If so, he's not leaving that program anytime soon. His family really likes WNY and he turned down the position at his alma mater LaSalle last year. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Tue March 15, 2005 09:22:31
  - I wasn't aware Mihalich was offered the LaSalle job. I would definitely at least interview this guy. They improved each year and he managed to recruit florida kids to iceland. (NT) -- joe b, Tue March 15, 2005 10:31:40
- absolutely right '85. no one has had to make chicken salad out of chicken droppings like ganulin has. St. Francis has one of the five worst gyms in Division I, no campus or campus life to speak of, no reason for anyone who is recruited to play anywhere else to go there, yet he turns out competitive teams and gets good kids regardless. he'll get a way better job than that next... (NT) -- FU91, Tue March 15, 2005 13:47:39
- I've got to agree. Ganulin made something from nothing at St. Francis. The next coach will probably realize what a difficult job St. Francis is. (NT) -- Ramfan, Tue March 15, 2005 19:27:40
