So the SoCon tournament starts on March the 2nd. My guess is we might be able to find one of UNC-G's games on TV during that time. Are any of their other games going to be televised?
Good college coaches are workaholics. If they aren't then they probably aren't any good. That is just the reality of it. If I was a single man I would still be coaching and would be married to the job, but I am not, I have a wife and two beautiful kids. There are married guys that can do it, but the reality is that the team becomes just as much of your family as your wife and kids. You spend the large majority of your waking hours with your staff, and in an emotional invested game like basketball it either takes it toll, or builds incredible relationships. In my case it built incredible relationships, but came at the expense of me starting my own family.
I couldn't believe that the old staff was staying in place when Bz came. Terrible decision by Wellman. Possibly a worse decision than hiring Bz in the first place. You don't pick out a man's family, and that is exactly what Wellman did.
I have heard from some people that Dement's teaching and schemes were just way to complicated for the guys on the team...As in they were too worried about always being in the exact right place, making the exact right screen, etc...as opposed to just playing some basketball. Once Wes took control he simplified the schemes and told the guys to have fun out there.
He is making 45K right now (the same salary he was making as a asst.). I would love for us to go after him. If we can shake Bzzz after next year and Wes has a solid full year as UNCG's head coach from day one, he would be a exciting get for our program.

So [Redacted] had zero say or input in who he hired as assistants? I find that hard to believe. If that were the case... why not stay in Boulder? It's not like he received a huge salary bump to take the Wake job.
