Just look at what Drake did (Ben McCollum). Coach was D2 for Northwest Missouri State and won 4 National Champs with them. This is his resume:No-look said:
Question. Does transitioning from a D11 to D1, is there an adjustment to recruiting higher level players?

While i agree the defense was the key to Keller's success after the same kind of style of player that Underwood brought. Eventually it had to change espically with the college basketball more focusing on shooting over defense. (See the NBA). Keller should have adapted and changed the idea of SFA mens basketball. He brought alot of success but he was to hard headed to change.BigJack85 said:
It was time to move on. That being said some of the remarks on Facebook, regarding Keller are just uncalled for and classless. The man will leave SFA with over a 65% winning percentage. His style of defense was a key in our initial competitiveness in the WAC. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find the right players with shooting skills to compliment the defensive system. Best of luck to Coach K in his future endeavors.

We must have done a buy out or something.jboy93 said:
Hate to see Keller leave like this. He was very nice to me when I met them at the airport in Tyler after the Duke win. Not sure but was he on the last year of his current contract?
There just had to be something going on internally. We have had too many players over the last couple of years show up on the roster and then just poof, they disappear!?

Since this posting says we had him lock until 2025-2026
IIRC, I think he was closer to 425k after the extension.BigJack85 said:SCH890 said:We must have done a buy out or something.jboy93 said:

Yes. I think his salary was approximately $345
