Heaven help me, true story: So this morning our daughter, the family 2016 Furman graduate, arrives to her weekly Dept. of the Navy team meeting in San Diego, CA. She's new, so her co-workers don't yet know her background. In walks another guy who out of the blue announces: "Hey, the chatter on TV is about this little college in So. Carolina that just punched its ticket back to the NCAA Tournament ... anybody here ever heard of 'Furman'?"
The family Furmanite was then besieged. Now that's just one little conversation in one small corner of one city in a big state ... and right now those conversations are going on all over the country . Going into the tourney we're the talk ... Go 'Dins !!
Who's ready to fill out their bracket!?!

Do we know what specific chances he’s had to coach at other schools? How likely is it that he will not be with us next year? To what extent does our continuing success depend upon him staying? How committed is Furman to getting a replacement as good or better when he does leave us?
We know about two chances, College of Charleston and S. Carolina. I have a close friend and big supporter of our basketball program that is so consumed with next year that he cannot enjoy this year. I keep telling him to live the moment and enjoy the moment. Next year will take care of itself. He just cannot help himself.affirm wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 6:41 amDo we know what specific chances he’s had to coach at other schools? How likely is it that he will not be with us next year?

I’m sorry to read this about another supporter, ‘cause if he wants to worry, there’s lots to worry about: ya gotta believe JD the AD is on a lotta radar screens. CCH has the fb program re-energized. Heck, if Dan’s cold subsides he & his sidekicks are ripe for poaching, too!
Look, all kidding aside, tell your pal all these guys are there because of the values of the place. All of them echo your observation to live in the present - and if he wants to honor them, they’d like him to listen.
Keeping CBR it is literally in God’s hands as Coach is a man of deep faith. FU has to do its part and do as much as possible for our Coach of the Year. CBR has taken us so far, however, there is more to be done. Hope and pray he accepts the challenge and opportunity to continue to build the Paladin basketball program. I am reminded of the Carpenter’s song that could be our theme, “We’ve Only Just Begun.”Roundball wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 7:52 amWe know about two chances, College of Charleston and S. Carolina.
