Anyone else catch CBR say he plans to let Pegues call a lot more plays the next 2 years? I know he's fresh off the biggest win off his life, but that sounds like a guy who is committed to staying. He could be the Rick Byrd, Bob McKillop, Mark Few, of this program. Why not?
NM was/is obviously in it for the money. Left FU before the season was over. Left Drake after one year. FWIW both VMI and UNCG went to the CBI last year and both lost their first game. UNCW beat Middle Tennessee in the final.Furmanoid wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 10:44 amGood example. He’s now one bad season away from kicking himself for leaving Furman. Where do you go if you get fired by Colorado State? You pretty much start over. Unless you are in it strictly for money, why risk moving to a loser? They’ll love you for a minute, but when the team falls to its natural level, you get fired.The Jackal wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 12:56 pmNiko Medved and Colorado State are 14-17 this season as well.
Off topic a bit, but CBR mentioned that J. Jackson brought him to FU. I thought Medved did. Interesting how things turn out.apaladin wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 12:11 pmNM was/is obviously in it for the money. Left FU before the season was over. Left Drake after one year.

Former FU head basketball coach, now the MVC commissioner surprisingly....................
My son attended Furman during the JJ years. What a joke of a coach. He and his buddies actually camped outside Timmons just to draw attention to the program. Not once did this coach acknowledge their efforts. Having been a season ticket holder for the past almost 30 years, I remember times during his tenure that I looked at the calendar and dreaded having to attend a game. Honestly, seeing my son at the games was the only reason we went during those years. Now, I can't wait until the next game. What a joy it is to be a fan and supporter of our basketball team under COY Bob Richey.
One of the worst ever as far as coaching - so much subbing the team could never establish any rythm. They panned on him during a Bradley-Drake game and I was suprised he was the MWC commissioner. Seemed like a nice guy, but horrible coach. Larry Davis was almost as bad - ended up molesting some woman on a plane.
Joe Cantafio too, out of 11 seasons coaching at VMI and Furman he had 11 losing seasons..............Paladin91 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 12:59 pmOne of the worst ever as far as coaching - so much subbing the team could never establish any rythm.

And people around the country will wonder why it took 43 years to get back ! Let's not forget Gene Davis' tenure.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:14 pmJoe Cantafio too, out of 11 seasons coaching at VMI and Furman he had 11 losing seasons..............Paladin91 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 12:59 pmOne of the worst ever as far as coaching - so much subbing the team could never establish any rythm.
