And you didn't think TF is a dick?

Honestly len, I didn't. I know he left UMass in a rather messed up way, but I can't begrudge a guy for taking an insane offer that was thrown at him.

I loved how his teams played here, loved how prepared and in shape they were, and that NIT run was great. Gary Forbes, James Jimmy Life, CLowe, Ricky was a fun team to watch

TF was/is a nice guy and he and his wife loved Amherst. It was just a stupid offer by OK State that no one in their right mind would have turned down

We're not the only school still trying to fill an assistant's role, including some P5 schools.

Perhaps I’m being a bit optimistic but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a “yes” but Bamford is being very guarded on announcing any agreement until there’s pen on paper. Memories of the Pat Kelsey presser are seared into his mind no doubt.
turns out Kelsey is a pretty good coach after all

All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
