I hope we don't get any of these losers. We need winning coaches that expect to be going to the NCAA every year.

I can't believe Grant did it. I don't agree with Dakich. You have to look at the body of work, not just the few games he watches each year.

Wow. I sure didn't see that coming. Now the challenge is, who does Grant hire to lead us the the promised land?

Agree with BBJones - Who can we get to take us where we want to go?

I really didn't see that coming. I wonder how many players will transfer...

Wow. Shocked as everyone else is.
I guess if you're going to do it this is the year to do it with a strong senior class leaving.

I am surprised by this move also. We are in for an interesting few weeks.

I'm disappointed. I'll be very unhappy if the new coach is provided with a bunch of new resources like a full time strength coach and a lavish budget for assistants. I didn't like it when Shilling came in and got resources Underhill and Brown were denied. I won't like it when a shiny new coach gets it now.
I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of coach we can attract when a coach who gets us a second place finish in a mediocre league gets fired.

I really like Donlon and I'm nervous he'll go somewhere else and continue to grow as a coach and crush it with success.
That being said...as a Penn State football fan I've been through multiple coaching changes where I've really liked the coach that has departed. In each case I've been sad to see the previous coach go and in each case I've been happy with the replacement brought it. I think it will be the same at Wright State. We have a lot to offer and there are a lot of good coaches looking for their shot to prove themselves. We will get a good one and everyone will buy in.

I will say Billy does get every ounce of energy out of his players that he was able to recruit here. We need a coach that can recruit and get some ball players that are men instead of stick kids playing out of position.
I want a coach that recruits forwards that are not guards and so forth.
Get a coach that wants to put points on the board and rebound a little, maybe even a full court press without being down 10 points with a minute to go.
Maybe a coach that knows how to play a zone defense.
Maybe a coach that will actually set screens for our sharp shooters like Benzinger.
Maybe a coach that will put an exciting brand of basketball on the court instead of a malaise.
