Re: Coach in 2025-26?

Larrañaga just made Frank's eventual move to UM even more of a reality with this season's 6-14 conference record.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

The question Is, if and when Frank Martin decides to leave, does Umass continue to pay $1.7 million/year for a MAC basketball coach? Here's the top 5 coaching salaries in the MAC in 2023: 1 - John Groce (Akron) - $650k 2 - Jeff Boals (Ohio) - $581k 3 - Tony Barbee (C. Michigan) - $420k 4 - Michael ...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

The WCC is clearly a superior conference, and in the years Gonzaga found success (mid to late 90s), you had BYU and St Mary’s there to pick up at-large bids. In other words, the competition improved. The MAC hasn’t had an at-large bid since 1999, and I doubt any other team in that conference was cl...

Re: Coach in 2025-26?

Pretty much a given that he’s gone- either after next year or the year after to line up with Laranaga’s contract expiring in ‘26.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

This could really really really suck... Somehow I fail to see how a UMass vs Akron rivalry could even scratch the surface of Mass vs Temple. This appears to really blow. BUT, if we can get to the big dance four times per decade this way, people will adjust to it. AND... if we are regularly getting ...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

THE A-10 sucks now. its ONE bid. that's it. whoever wins the conf tourney goes, that's all. And the MAC is not a one bid conference? What’s your argument here A few years back, Buffalo would have garnered an at-large as they were ranked all season, but they won the MAC tourney. I like the move beca...

Re: Game 15, 2023-24: La Salle (1/10)

After a big game in a packed arena, I really hope we don't have a let down on Wednesday. As others have said, this is the beginning of a stretch where we either announce ourselves as double-bye contenders, or we sleepwalk to a .500 record. I don't think this is the type of team or type of coach tha...
