[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 670609, member: 2299"] This year? Likely nothing due to financial issues unless the wheels just fall off. There's no real point in making a coaching change unless we can get a somewhat proven commodity this time. With Gregory we had to fire him because the roster was obviously getting worse and we couldn't really afford to let him stay and do even more damage. In his last year we were losing our top 4 players, another role player, and we were only adding a 2 man class. That combined with the previous class being a 1 man class of Ogbonda made it so we had to make a change before more damage was done. With Pastner you could easily argue his recruiting hasn't been great, but there is no real doubt that the state of the roster is better now than what he inherited, and for next year when you compare what we are losing (Banks, Sjolund, Phillips) to what we are bringing in (Gigiberia, Meka, Maxwell) it's arguable that we're improving our roster overall with that move. Now, if we could land a homerun hire then after this year would be a pretty good time to do so. We would have a pretty good returning group of players allowing for, hopefully, a good first year, and a lot of open scholarships setting up for a big first real recruiting class. That sets up for the right guy building some quick momentum. But it'd have to be the right guy, and imo you absolutely do not make a move this year unless you already have that home run lined up. Even next year is probably a similar situation unless the recruiting class is just bad. There has long been a rumor that his scholarship was more of a tryout year and that he wasn't guaranteed a spot going forward anyways. Don't know the validity of it but it has been put out. [/QUOTE]
