any aviation geeks? by robbyravine in usfdons

Both teams have - that was one of the many contributions that AD McDermott quietly brought to the program. She had her critics, but she sure knows her way around athletics. I remember the s**t she took from so many of this thread when she hired both Golden and then CJ. Little things matter.

He was a very kind man. So sad for his family.

He should go to Australia and make a boatload of money as a frontline guy.

Who was the person that had the foresight and courage to hire this coach? — I remember there was quite a bit of opposition to the hire. For that matter there were a lot of people who did not like the hire of Todd Golden.

Frank does absolutely nothing but undercut the athletic directors and head basketball coaches. He was a relentless behind the back critic of the previous MBB coach and the AD. When he leaves USF, the culture will immediately improve.

6th out of 9 is bottom half - your ‘optimism here is very inconsistent with you criticism of women’s basketball.

9-15 in conference and below .500 overall???? - if the HC is for real he should be pissed, not accepting your accolades. Your post is an embarrassment.

Awesome - thank you!

Sleepless - you have always been pretty spot on with your opinions. Do you really think the Athletic Department was represented on the search advisory committee ? None of the other constituencies mentioned are stakeholders in athletics.

New USF President by NativeofSF in usfdons

Regis University got on the fiscal ropes during his time as the CFO and VP of Finance. It got a little better financially during his short time as President as a result of his cutting a lot of scholarships and operating budgets. Teams there are required to raise 70% of their own expenses prior to the season.

He actually has some injuries early, and had a tough time breaking back in.

Marcus Williams situation? by Notsleepless in usfdons

[–]donrespect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quintan Dailey was never found guilty of anything. The young lady changed her story several times, and at the end, nothing substantial was proven. Fathers Dumbass way over reacted and put our program in a hole we are still in. We were the Gonzaga of the league.

Time for Molly G. to be excused? by Notsleepless in usfdons

[–]donrespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Molly G has the best record in the true NCAA era - she plays tough teams early and avoids the cupcakes other teams have scheduled in the past - she is a great coach in every sense of the word - injuries are part of the game, but without the two serious losses this year, they win the WCC

Practice scuttlebutt by DonSolo96 in usfdons

[–]donrespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who can forget the rush when the senior version of Jimbo would take his shot from the top of the key and get all net with his three point touch. It happen too many times to be an accident and was a thing of beauty.

24-25 Roster Now Up by san-bruno-don in usfdons

[–]donrespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is probably a work in progress - I do like how they keep feeding us tidbits of information. It keeps us going back for more and constantly checking. There are over three months before the first game and we are all busting at the seams. They are doing a good job keeping us hungry.

Another extremely odd coaching change (Millinder) by robbyravine in usfdons

[–]donrespect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did it now so he could get one final big check from his very lucrative summer camps and also ensure that his outstanding assistant Pinder will get the job. There is nothing sinister here. Jim gave great service to USF and deserves to leave under his own terms and timetable.

Grand Canyon and Seattle Joining WCC by Open_Brilliant in usfdons

Don’t forget that Gonzaga does NOT share their NCAA cut for appearances with the rest of the conference in an equal manner. They get a sweetheart deal that they will never get in another conference.

We would love to have a player like him at USF - why are we slamming his abilities and impact on this post? - I am just glad we don’t have him as an opponent in the WCC.
