Honestly this women's team was special. It was a sweet 16 or possibly even elite 8 team talent wise.
But the fact we are returning so much gives me hope that this team will reload and be potentially stronger next season.

May not directly impact us, or the Southland but Lon Kruger, Oklahoma, has announced his retirement.

Personally, I think we're safe unless someone hires Coach Boynton away from OK State.

Big hire coming up for OU though.

I'd love for Coach Keller and his family to decide they really love Nacogdoches and the people, and he will want to stay and make us the top mid-major in the country.

I agree. I think we have been too up-and-down for a P5 school to call on Keller right now.

He goes to Oklahoma State, and the T. Boone Pickens estate better start sending us a finders fee...

I share your sentiment, but...

"Let's see... Should I stay amongst the beautiful towering pines of East Texas and make $400 grand or go to Boomer Sooner or Okie State and make $2.5 mil???"

Be honest now. What would you do?

I don't think any P5 teams will come calling this year. Yeah, I agree that he has had too many up and down seasons. Maybe if he had won the conference this season. He Might need 1 or 2 more tournaments appearances

More worried about teams outside P5 like in MWC or AAC.

I couldn't turn down 2.5 mil, bc that's retire after 5 years money.

But Okie State only pays 1 mil, so that'd be a lot closer.

Honestly? I'd stay in Nacogdoches. I can live like a millionaire there on $400 grand. I also happen to love Nacogdoches.

It depends. There are a lot more variables in the equation in addition to compensation. My family made decisions in my career about where to live, and what to do.

That is not news I expected.

This will be an interesting hire. A lot of smoke around Beard, but I just can't see him leaving his current situation for Texas.

Good. Another school we can beat if we meet them in the tournament.

Some coaches just can't coach at an upper level. Mid major basketball and high major basketball are almost two different sports. Different athletes. Different recruiting.
I was worried Brad wouldn't be able to adapt at Illinois before this year.

Oral Roberts had that game against Arkansas. That's crazy to think how close they were to a very manageable elite 8 matchup.

Coach Boynton got paid! Awesome for him.

So you are not willing to pay Underwood $3m but then pay Boynton that amount to keep him. I guess OK State learned their lesson.

They'd have looked real dumb if they did it twice.

I personally was hoping he'd end up at UT.

With money like this being thrown around...there is no way Keller is still here in two years?! Sadly. Boynton was probably making, what, 100k just a few short years ago and now look, 3 million. Not a bad trajectory!
BigJack85

It seems out of bounds to me. $3 million. That should be the kind of payoff a long-term guy gets. Not today though.

Keller will get a big payday from a big time school soon enough. Probably one more tournament appearance will do it.

Man it's not even about money or loyalty. Good mid major coaches don't stay mid major coaches. I know for a fact Brad loved it here, his family loved it here. But SFA wasn't Oklahoma state, and the Southland certainly wasn't the Big 12. I was hurt by Brad leaving but I understood this is not the final coaching spot for anyone starting their coaching career.

Kyle's a teambuilder. If he can recruit as well as he does here imagine going somewhere that actually has resources!

I don't blame these guys a bit. Most all of us would drop what we're doing for a 400k salary in a heartbeat. 10 years of that and you'd never have to work again if you didn't want to.

But that high major money means you and your kids and their kids can pursue whatever passion they want to in life. That's an entirely different tier.

Wait so the draft and the transfer portal.. the gift that keeps on giving. If making bad decisions was a person

Laughing with you, 76. The term "unbelievable" came to my mind, but this is all too believable.
