I can't remember the last time a relatively young, long-term HC was demoted and stayed to be an assistant.
Can you remember the first time ?

We could just keep DM and build an on campus arena with a capacity of 500.
I am too lazy to look this up but has there ever been a P5 program that has held on to a HC for 6+ years with a comparable or worse winning %?? If it has happened, I can't think of it.

I'm sure this might not really be an option, but could we make Danny the big man's coach and then bring in a real HC???? That way you at least get something for the $ and hopefully help our big man recruiting and overall recruiting if we can bring in a great HC along with some other assistants? Then if Danny doesn't like being 2nd on the bench he can quit and we avoid payout?
With the amount we are paying I would hope we would have the ability to hire an Exec. coach to put him over the program, but that might be a hard one for a new coach to deal with Danny boy whining and moaning if he isn't happy.

Just reconfigure Wait Chapel - add room for a court on the stage, improve the lighting, build a tunnel over to the new practice facility for access to the locker rooms. It wouldn't take much.

i kind of feel like State has to be in this conversation

Most of those tunnels are already in place.Just reconfigure Wait Chapel - add room for a court on the stage, improve the lighting, build a tunnel over to the new practice facility for access to the locker rooms. It wouldn't take much.
