For some reason the guy who owns that account blocked me, which is weird, I'm typically not an asshole on Twitter so I don't get it.

^ read my last post right before yours, probably will shed some light on it.

Looks like they got into it with UMass fans last year about Bergeron. Might stem from that

Posting a link to a private Twitter account isn't helpful for those who aren't already in.

Copy & paste what you saw.

I thought I did, I apologize.

Its a national account that is typically well sourced saying that this will make an interesting week in Amherst and wondering if Tony B gets a job.

Is it though? I think it's just some boob behind a keyboard throwing shit against the wall. He also had an axe to grind against Umass a few years ago.

I know that they’ve gotten a lot of stuff right since I’ve followed them. When shit hit the fan with Beilein’s kid at Niagara they nailed the inside details.

They’ve also mentioned MM’s name at other job openings in the last few weeks. Might be nothing but might be something

I would not hire Bergeron as head coach with the sole reason to be to keep Tre Mitchell for a year or two. You need to look long term and find someone who beat fits the program. If the deal was/is hire Bergeron as head coach to keep Tre - I say let him go.
In any event a terrible job by Bamford in this whole thing.

Where are you getting this?

Public records. Original contact. I know he signed an one year extension in 2018 for 22/23, dollar amount I am unsure but I assumed for my original post it was abut the same buyout terms as year 5.

Terrible job by Bamford seems to be a recurring theme over the years

Man oh man, what a terrible soap opera. With Tre leaving and McCall still here, how the hell does Tony B stay on the staff? Gotta be awkward inside the Mullins confines today.

Wouldn't the buyout be $850k then?

Either way, that is a terrible fucking contract that Bamford signed, and if he can't negotiate something better then he should be fired too.

Maybe. I read is as he'd be owed 50% for 21/22 and 100% for 22/23.

I was told there be no math.

Oust Bamford. Fire McCall. Offer Tony B the job on an interim basis on the condition that Trey stays. Othewise, blow it up and get a new HC.

This is another sorry episode in UMass Basketball. Bamford and McCall need to speak to the fans and tell us what the hell is going on!

What if everyone Woodstock packs up and transfers now? Then we got McCall picking through the Jonathan Laurents of the world and we have roster roulette again for four years. This is more than I can stomach right now.

^^^^
It would be hard to trust Bergeron after all of this.

Tre's father has not been shy about liking tweets calling for McCall's job the last couple of hours. Including one asking Tre if he will come back if MM is axed. Lmao

Complete shit show

super disappointed. We are a dumpster fire if this blows up. so much for longevity at the helm. Either way this will hurt long term. The two cash sports have a very long long road ahead

I'll be OK as long as he doesn't go to UCONN.
