While some monies have been released for other important athletic issues, I doubt they would be used much here. If I was to pick a place it would be allocation for the assistants.

Talk was that staff salaries would be raised to at least the levels of the lower tier MAAC Programs. While this initiative may be gradual, one might conject that a two year extension (three year's out), would result in some meaningful attempt/result.

Always felt he was getting an extension, but felt only a year was justified. I don't think it is the three that SPCFan is saying but two years for five total. Not really sure how it impacts recruiting. He only has one to give this year, one next year and one the following. What grace you think occurs from contract extensions would be offset if he loses players to gain more recruits for whatever reason other than academics. So thoughts that some would be leaving add to the negative side and retention of players becomes the issue. That is why I think a shorter extension was better and for a fiscally strapped school, makes more sense. With regard to assistants, the need for more money is the need to attract some experience. Without slighting the current assistants, we have the most inexperienced staff in the league. This impacts all aspects, including recruiting, game planning and personnel handling. Of the current group, the one aspect that I felt was deficient was game planning and management. Most want to blame the players. There was enough missing in the games to wonder if that is the wrong target. I think the recruiting mode is excellent. The problem becomes that recruiting becomes more difficult as losing increases. So when you boil it down, the issues could become more next year and if the same pessimism that most spout here, is still evident, then we would now have two more years of little to look forward too.
