Don’t you think they are focusing all resources on the transition to c-USA. Not sure we have the money to buy out 5 years worth of contract.
They might just be ok with average.

Here's what I know. 8 years in and we basically have a .500 coach. If the admin is okay with a good guy who runs a clean program and is average, MI is your man. If they are looking for good to great, I'm not convinced we have the right guy running the program. Time will tell I guess?

Admittedly, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know that every other Division I coach in the country is playing by the same rules. And some seem to be navigating this new NIL world better than others…even at the mid-major level. Don’t get me wrong, I think Martin is a really good person and a fine representative of the University. I just don’t think he is someone who can elevate this program to the next level. And that’s no easy task BTW…in the history of this program, one could argue that only Coach Brey and possibly Steinwedel have ever been able to do that. So the question once again becomes what’s a priority for the administration??? At a time that it certainly appears elevating all of our programs is very important as we transition to CUSA, we may have our answer either way sooner than later.

The team doesn't seem to play hard enough to play good D. Someone earlier mentioned Riley's lack of scoring, but I can't recall him having an open look all day. The shots he took were all forced - including the bank 3. Can't they run plays to free him up?

And how bout Monroe's dunk with Drexel up a lot with about 2 seconds left? Bush league. Too bad someone didn't give him a forearm on his way to the bucket - but no one seemed to care. I sure hope the Hens remember that the next time they play Drexel.
