Re: Who should stay, who should go

Setting aside who the coach is, if UMass can offer someone $100k, and Toledo can offer $50k, 9 times out of 10 that kid is picking UMass. Yay - we are stealing other MAC talent. Niles, we want better than MAC talent. We’re talking about what’s a reasonable MAC finish for UMass, so is it not relevan...

Re: 2025-26 Season

I know the department won't do it because they're too many steps behind on everything, but it seems like having a GM is the future of college basketball. Who are the UMass basketball alums that are involved in the game and can relate to today's players? Chaz seems to want to be involved in the prog...

Re: Coach Frank Martin

We're not getting a better coach than Frank but if UMass wants another Matt McCall type guy, by all means, let him go :lol: I think it would be pretty damn foolish heading into the MAC. Unless Frank is leaving all the money on the table he’ll be back. Bamford cannot afford a 8m firing I’m afraid we...

Re: MAC Sports topics that include Hoops

Watching the MAC tournament. Sure looks like they have a lot more people at the game than what I’ve seen at the A10’s. MAC does it right by only having the top 8 teams go to the conference tourney. I think that makes the games more exciting than a longer drawn out 4 or 5 day tournament. bookmark th...

Re: Game 32, 2024-25: La Salle (A10 1st Round)

Please do the right thing and fire FM. it doesnt matter what it costs.. Get somebody with at least a basic understanding of todays basketball Firing him will never happen. His contact states that if he is fired by UMass for a reason other than for cause, he would be paid 100% of the total value of ...

Re: Coach Frank Martin

could be referring to the MAC when talking about the new Chapter - but the way he answered kinda made me think he came here to coach in the A-10 not the MAC Never easy to tell just from a quote - I don't know the tone in which he answered or the question that made him answer this way - like I said ...

Re: 2024-25 Season

It’s not about coaches pay but understanding you need to hire a player personal guy like they have in the nba who acquires players and works w frank to mold the team.
