A lot of posters predicting Florida to win the SEC off an Iona guard no one had heard of a month ago.

Don’t remember anyone saying that. But would you have said the same about RJ coming out of Howard? Even Tristen basically played for a mid major at ECU.

A lot of people not hearing of him a month ago is more about people having lives and not watching MAAC basketball. It's not an indictment on the kids talent or ability. He was the player of the year and he was their leading scorer putting up 15 pts, 4 assists, 4 rebounds against us, you know the Natl champs. Not amazing numbers but our defense made more well known players from top programs perform worse. He may not be all world but he is not a scrub either. Rick Pitino and UF felt he was worth their time to recruit hard. But hey, maybe random internet cranky guy who can't admit he may be off base is right.

You gotta cut Nelson some slack. Nelson is all about the bigs & dgaf bout any guards.

Still remember his time as the Chairman of the Josh Carlton Fan Club. He just needs a new target now.

cincinnati will soon learn the lesson that syracuse and boston college learned before it: it's hard to get quality players to come to your school when you're a bottom-feeder program in a money-hungry conference that has abandoned its basketball identity.

I mean this will due respect up' because I do respect your opinion particularly as it relates to an insiders POV of college administration: So What?

People are people, whether they are part time, full time, making minimum wage or salary. Winning and losing a room is just that. Cooley clearly didn't win this one at the moment the pic was snapped.

Its a snapshot in time and obviously not the complete story on Cooley's "likeability" which is the tangential subject at hand.

He went too far in his post game at UConn and looks even more foolish for it now, the why behind that is well covered.
He completely botched his exit at Providence.
I'm not sure he hasn't jumped the shark.

I'm just saying if people are not thrilled to be there it's likely because they took time away from what they are otherwise doing in order to make it to campus for this meeting

Probably at low major schools but I seriously doubt any coaches at Georgetown are part-time and make that little. And definitely not the soccer coach, that is for certain.

Mid majors. Also assistants at high majors.

Assuming those are head coached, this is hard to believe. The head cross country coach at Eastern Connecticut makes $85k a year and was hired last year as a D3 coach. I know it's state vs. private but still.
Expand ...
He's making great money then.

The HC at St. Bonaventure and Niagara for soccer moonlight there, both D1.

Their assistants run 3 or 4 premier academy teams, travel soccer clubs, HS soccer coaches, and are basically involved in a lot more other ventures, including individual training. I know someone who stepped down from D1 coaching to take a job with an ECNL club for $25k a year. He's a gym teacher in city schools.

Same story for a volleyball coach I know (best friend of my young brothers) on the west coast. D1 at a public school.

I'm amazed at the Eastern cross country coach. What else does he do?

I actually knew him from last year in his freshman year- jumped off the screen last year for Iona- no surprise he was then conference player of the year this year- think you are underrating him a bit- he is a top 10 transfer according to Evan Miya as well.

Well not for us, but apparently for others.

New Mexico reminds me a bit of UConn where their fans always show out and treat their basketball team as the thing in their state.

Agree. I've been in New Mexico this week wearing my UConn hoodie around and I've been stopped several times with a "congratulations" or "you must be having a great week" before getting into conversation. (I reminded them that NM State set the stage for this year's run.)

Basketball fans abound.

Looking at his LinkedIn, he does Cross Country & Track & Field.

As a comparison, women’s rowing coach at UConn makes $105k and the Women’s swimming coach makes $90k. So not much of a difference between d3 and d1.

Assistant coaches doesn’t surprise me. It’s basically a volunteer job at any level of a non major sport.

Why tf are we paying rowing and swimming coaches $100k…

What type of ROI is that generating? Seems like an obvious place to cut costs.

Nah, I'd rather have Jaylin. He's probably not going to be better his freshman year but it looks like he's going to be a stud by his 2nd or 3rd year.

I think Jaylin Stewart is going to be sneaky good. Didn't get a ton of exposure playing out in the PNW. Dude has a Big East ready body right now and is quite skilled on the offensive end. He'll be a decent contributor off the bench next year.

The women’s tennis coach is paid $93k, the track and field coach is paid $180k, softball coach $103k, golf coach $94k.

Has a lot to do with Title 9 on the women’s side.

Pretty sure some of the salary comes from endowments or donations.

Not when you have an alumnus with a net worth of $500 million dollars throwing big money to UConn for those sports.

The department is 53 million in the red and you think paying a coach 100 grand is helping in any way to solve the problem? That’s not a massive salary anyway
