4 seasons at Furman puts him on the Furman coaching tree nonetheless So true. We unfortunately don't have someone at the local paper that covers Furman like Shanesy covers Wofford, for whatever reason. Scott Keeler with the Furman Sports Report does a great job and gets a lot of info that normally wouldn't have seen the light of day in the Gville News, but not sure if he was in that role yet when NM left.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:02 amIt would have been interesting to have had an article like this when Niko left.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 6:24 amCoach Young quoted as saying he hopes Jay will be next head coach at Wofford.

"Interesting", yes; certainly not as hagiographic. Remember FU had a legitimate shot at the 2017 CIT championship when Niko jumped ship just before the semi-finals; MY saw the season through. And no one's second-guessing MY's move to Va Tech, while head-scratching continues to this day regarding NM's interim step to Drake.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:02 amIt would have been interesting to have had an article like this when Niko left.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 6:24 amCoach Young quoted as saying he hopes Jay will be next head coach at Wofford.

No need to look it up - just use that Furman liberal arts education, as Coach Billy Blaze does in the clip below...and break it down...

I'm almost positive this story was posted at the time it happened, but it's incredibly transparent doesn't paint NM in the best light.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 2:31 pmfurpop16 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 11:44 am"Interesting", yes; certainly not as hagiographic.

I was disappointed when Niko left, but i am not left scratching my head over it. So, the reason an article would have been interesting is so we would not have to wonder how it all played out. I have picked up things here and there which explains enough for me not to be scratching my head.
The REAL head scratcher is when Niko went to CSU after only one year. Whoa. Left them like a hot potato. And if I was a Drake fan (which I was for one season....), then I would not have been happy. At all.

Which option would you choose if you were JM?
Option A: Stay at WC and be head coach. You are familiar with the team, facilities, alumni/boosters, administration, conference, etc. You know the continuity will help your transition to HC and you might have a longer leash if things get rocky. There's not much downside but the opportunity of Option B may never come again.
Option B: Go with MY to VPI. It's big boy basketball with big boy talent, facilities, amenities and everything else. You've made it to the ACC but there are high expectations and you could be gone in a year and asst coaching at Kennesaw St or some other backwater. But if you make it, the sky's the limit.
The salaries are equal. What do you choose?
