His contract has some provision that somehow tied him to Hobbs.

I think if Hobbs left Pikiel was given oversight of the woman’s gymnastics team

For what it's worth, I'll give you the outsiders opinion on Holloway. Sha is a good coach and he may turn out to be an excellent one. The job he did last year was really impressive.

I took his "wait till the end of the year" comment as being a statement of confidence. He knows that by the end of the year his teams are more than the sum of their parts and he doesn't give a crap about what outsiders think about them today.

I'm with you on this, but the constant turnover in basketball is not good for a coach like Sha. It took him 2 years to develop Richmond, Dawes and Dre. We're in year 1 for the overwhelming majority of these guys who may not be as talented as those guys. Maybe that group didn't buy in soon enough and why it took 2 years, I don't know. I believe no doubt this team in March will be exponentially better. The question is will we be like last year with a really slow start and will we be good enough within 4 months to be a top 5 team in this conference.

What message board posters never understand in reacting to comments from people is how they have no idea of the origin of the words … mainly, what was the question they were responding to? Without knowing that, it’s really hard to knowingly

A couple of years into Willard's run at the Hall I concluded that there was no reason to pay any attention to anything the man said. Whether it was complaining about the schedule or making pointless post-game comments there were just too many instances of absurd statements.

His latest comments about the superiority of the Big Ten fall right into the same category. Consider the source and just ignore. He did an overall good job at the Hall but the fact that he left and we got Sha is a net grand slam home run.

Since when is a SHU message board expected to be a source for objectivity? Not what it’s designed for.
