[QUOTE="shakim3, post: 217539, member: 283"] This is another huge misconception that fan bases have. Do you guys know the numbers on tenured coaches? Out of 350+ schools only 50 or so have had coaches that have stayed at a school for 10 years or more. Here are the stats: [URL]http://www.syracuse.com/patrick-stevens/index.ssf/2015/05/list_of_college_basketball_coaches_tenures_from_no_1_syracuses_jim_boeheim_to_no_351.html[/URL] A coach leaving for another job (and leaving that job on Good terms) is an extremely healthy situation for a school. An amazing example is the three school triangle last year. Shaka Smart leaves VCU for Texas Will Wade Leaves UTC for VCU Matt McCall gets first HC gig for UTC (even Rick Barnes landed on his feet at the other UT). Will Wade never won his conference at UTC. First year he leaves and UTC wins their conference, Wade leads VCU to the second day of the tournament and Texas gets beaten at the buzzer in the NCAA. All programs are better off. Let's stop this notion that a coach has to stay somewhere 20+ years to be successful, there are other ways to make it happen. [/QUOTE]
