Resources are limited. There is only so much we can pay anybody. CBR is the one to decide if it's enough.

And judging by his signing the extension...so far, it is.

Did we lose an assistant coach? I thought that we had all 4 returning.

We lost Jordan Lyons to Navy, who has been replaced by Demond Parker.

And we lost Tyler Eckstein who took a new position at Furman, so my guess is Jake DeLaney is replacing him.

As far as I know the other 4 are all back (Growe, Johnson, Warner, Angell)

DeLaney was listed as an assistant for G-W last year but is not so listed now so he does appear to be moving on. We have 3 assistants, which is the limit. All current listed assistants are still the holdovers from last year. No announced defections at the moment. There are multiple other positions on the staff but they aren't actually assistant coaches.

"The changes will allow Division I baseball, softball and ice hockey teams to have four full-time coaches instead of three. Basketball coaching staffs can increase by two, though the two additional coaches will not be permitted to recruit off-campus."

The title must not mean much when it comes to limits. We have an Associate Head Coach, three Assistant Coaches and one Assistant to the Head Coach.

If a coach can't recruit off campus that doesn't seem like a regular assistant to me. I guess everybody gets to be an assistant now. Nice title for the resume and more money though. Colleges have added large numbers of administrative employees that were not needed a few years ago, I suppose the athletics departments want in on the gravy too. I wonder how much cheaper tuition would be if administrative personnel were at the level of the 1970s or 1980s.
