Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 3961753, member: 8779"] Some interest narratives here, but it’s the off-season. What else is there to do? He lost coaches before because they could move up to better programs and make more money (Murray to Towson, Murray to Xavier, ARD to Clemson, Bobby to a head coaching job, etc). You can think whatever you want, but guys keep coming back to play for and work with him (Luke, Eric, Chris, etc.). The Alosi hire was messed up. He likes giving people second (third?) chances but not everyone is deserving. I think the best strength and conditioning coach he had was Daniel Marshall at URI. He got him in with the university and Marshall earned promotions until he was able to be full-time with basketball... the changes in players over those four years was phenomenal. He and his wife left to go home to Arizona when Dan left URI (Marshall has been at ASU with the other one since then). Marshall knows Rehfeldt, which was a help when Dan targeted him last year. This last year was a rough one to break into a new market in the notoriously tough field of sports media. Props to Cincinnati, though. They did the right thing in taking the hit with Brannen, moving any slower could have set the program back really far. [/QUOTE]
