The only reason that the Bonnies are not at the absolute bottom of the A-10 standings is that Loyola-Chicago is even worse - 3 conference wins as opposed to 4 for the Bonnies.

Oregon State's Wayne Tickle makes about the same as Schmidt (as in too much), but Tickle's team has several more conference wins this year, he has put multiple recent players in the NBA and/or G League, and he has an Elite Eight appearance within the past five years. That's pretty impressive. Well, OSU just fired him. If OSU can can Tickle, St. Bonaventure can certainly fire Schmidt, who has done next to nothing in the past five years. The game has passed him by - he's like a dinosaur who overplays his starters and refuses to change.

Not that it's a hell of a lot better but it's Wayne Tinkle not Tickle. Personally, I prefer a tickle to a tinkle any day.

Whoa, Griff! Did you say that Tinkle's record is not a hell of a lot better than Schmidt's? Seriously? Tinkle has an Elite 8 within the past five years, and has a PAC-12 championship trophy sitting in their sports center lobby from the same year. Never mind anything else (as in overall W/L records) - OSU achieved the brass ring with that run. Tinkle still wants to coach, and plenty of teams will see that shiny E8 appearance and try hard to snap him up.

As far as the Bonnies? Schmidt never got past the first round in the NCAA tourney. That's not impressive - at all. What is impressive is that he took the job 19 years ago and brought the Bonnies back from a total dumpster fire. He's a good coach and deserves major props for all that he's done over the past two decades. But he also has not been able to adjust to the new NIL era, and it was way past time for St. Bonaventure to move on. And they did.

I don't enjoy disagreeing with you, but there are teams that have made the Elite 8, and then there is everyone else.

Huh? I said his name is Tinkle and not Tickle as you had written. And that Tinkle isn't a much better name than you calling him Tickle. Where did I say his record is not better than Schmidt's?
