[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132637943, member: 1467482"] By old school I meant he speaks his mind and he went a little overboard on some low budget AM radio show. Nothing about me calling him old school says he should be immune criticism. Nothing about what he did says we had to blow up WVU basketball. A suspension would have been appropriate. We are in a conference where Bill Self facilitates wire fraud and gets a slap on the wrist FFS, either try to compete or drop a level to church league basketball. Does anyone not see what is going on in college sports? Were on the verge of a split, and WVU is on the relegation line, not that there is ever a good time, but now more than ever is not the time to tailspin in a revenue sport for 5+ years. I doubt he coaches again unless he pursues a very low level job like Pitino did with Iona. I could see him at Duquesne actually. He will be 71 next season, he doesn’t have time to step into somewhere and get today’s athlete to buy into his philosophy, he will likely go where he can recruit a bunch of Gabe and Thoroughman types and mold them into a winner at a low major. But I still believe we won’t see him on a bench again and given Baker’s recent comments, he is more likely to be back at WVU in an ambassador role in 1-2 years than a power conference bench.
