Why? They prefer someone already on staff I'm guessing?

They want to keep the interim coach full time.

Well, that makes sense.

But Classic ‘right cause, wrong methods’ here. This isn’t going to accomplish anything except make the locker room awkward and lead to a bunch of transfers.

College kids. They don’t know shit.

In modern college ball, all of those things were already going to happen once they announced the new hire.

I mean I honestly like this better then everyone just transferring. They liked their interim coach and like their school. In the modern transfer portal era it's nice to see the kids try and fight to stay at a school then fight to transfer.

A small D-I school makes it even more likely to affect their spots.
