Re: New Direction

Crazy idea (and yet WIU did it in soccer... and golf...and track & field)... hand the reigns over to JD and Seth. Let them be basketball operations for both squads. We at least know those 2 can coach and develop players. I understand that there are a multitude of reasons why that wouldn't work, ...

Re: Omaha

This team is getting better! It's been fun to see how far along they've come since the beginning of this year and I think that speaks volumes to how good JD and Co. are at player development. This is not their most talented bunch but they still are fun to watch. That 3rd quarter was absolutely beau...

Re: 2018/2019 Budget/Funding

From what I could find from a quick google search, operational costs total in the $200M-$230M range for WIU. Don't get me wrong, $20M is a lot of cuts, but to me this is far from the death knell it's been made out to be. Private sector and small businesses don't blink an eye at 10% re-structuring cu...

I don't have as big of a problem with Coach Fisher because a couple of reasons: 1. He left for a "step up" job. Yes, he went from a HC to a Receivers coach, but he more than doubled his salary with less responsibility ($183k -> $375k) 2. Now, I don't know what he did and didn't say to pla...

Gutless performance so far. So disappointing. Better turn it around quickly or szn's over.
