Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2130318, member: 1414"] The rumors are there, but no hard evidence. His history though, suggests that he may not be a big school kind of guy. He's from SC. Played at Randolph Macon (DIII in VA). Became an assistant there after. He was an assistant at College of Charleston during their big run. Then Marshall as asst. and then HC at Winthrop. He was very successful at Winthrop. WSU pays him $3.3M. About what we pay Ollie, and among the top salaries in the country. I think he's pretty comfortable there. In much the same way Calhoun turned down South Carolina and stayed at Connecticut and became a legend, he could do the same at Wichita State. That appeals to some guys. It would appeal to me. Do you know how far $3.3M a year goes in Wichita? I think it's a good move for the league. I cringe when I read from posters who don't want another team for UConn to lose to. We need to be pushed. The last time we were truly good was when we had Louisville to push us. It's how UConn rolls. We have to get the league wide power indexes up to become more than a two bid league. They are in a great travel spot for most of the league. Their fans show up (I know several WSU fans). Any UConn game at WSU will be sold out and rocking. Don't you think our guys miss that? [/QUOTE]
