Subject: The Firings of Gillen and Lappas

When we hear of coaches "moving up" to bigger programs, we rarely hear that their moving up means someone is moving down. I can remember that Gillen was regarded as the new rising star--the golden boy bound for glory. Not quite at the same level, but Lappas parleyed success at Manhattan into a Big East job and then a prominent A-10 job. When are some of these guys going to begin to see that the Martelli and Chaney career paths have much to recommend them? There is no guarantee of success "at the next level." In fact, only a fool would think that the UVa job is wonderfully attractive. UVa is in the same league as Duke, UNC, Maryland, NC State, and now even BC. Look at Clemson: they do well against the OOC schedule and then get killed in conference. They did pretty well in the ACC tournament this year, but "pretty well" is far from tourney champion. When you take the UVa job, get big bucks quick because you will be fired in a few years.
