The fact that Ben Jacobson and Randy Bennett have been run out of MM+ basketball in the same week isn't the greatest sign for the overall health of the sport.
I guess I didn't realize that was much of a step up, if at all. Maybe he just wants to live there.
Probably somewhat similar resources but yeah from what I have heard Charleston is a pretty nice place to live.
I bet these "lateral moves" happen much more frequently going forward. My guess is Charleston will commit more resources for Groce than Akron would so he's making the jump. Schools that won't continue to increase investments in basketball are going to have a harder and harder time, even at the lower levels.
I'll be a "sky is falling" on this one. But with Rev Share and NIL it's better off to be a top assistant at P5 schools vs, head coach at G5/mid-majors. The exceptions are a few schools that have proven to be coaching cradles (aka Gonzaga, USD, UNM, USU, VCU, UNLV, Memphis),
But otherwise most mid-major leagues are now 1 bid leagues with 12+ schools. The money is better being a P5 top assistant vs. mid-major HC. And at a mid-major a coach is going to lose their best players to the portal. A G5/mid-major coach really has to love chaos & recruiting.
Ford looks like he should be sitting at a bar drinking a beer. Is that a lazy boy he's sitting in!
When I see "I've been told," I tend to be skeptical.
Also, use of "ramped up" annoys the f*** out of me, but that's a separate topic.
Or he starts hanging with your old FB coach.
Sad part was I had to think which one lol
