Coach Brown/AD Benson Thread
UA'08 replied to nysteve661's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
Posted to the transfers thread yesterday. Wish him the best. Hopefully he gets to play D1 somewhere else. To bring back up the topic of eligibility, it says he’s got 1 year left, but as the other UA said he’s technically got 2. Still puzzled on the eligibility -
Coach Brown/AD Benson Thread

Lol. I do follow him and his handle is not TK1. So sorry did not know he was on the status of just a 3 character abbreviation. I do remember he had to sit out a few games with eligibility issues, but what was there something publicly said by Benson on that situation? -

TK1? -
So kellen Taylor and chuck champion who were both already grad transfers have another year? If this is the case D1 basketball is going to have an abundance of players and I don’t think there will be a problem with filling out a respectable roster by whoever the coach is.
-
So does he have 2 years left? I asked earlier and was told every one is basically playing on a free year of eligibility this season?
-
And it’s also a place to read what other people are feeling! 😂 Never said anyone can’t post their feelings!

Please do share how this weeeeeeeeeeeee should be interpreted

Coach Brown/AD Benson Thread

I don’t know if the lack of real season had anything to with it, but I found interesting he was not asked once about his future until this past weekend by whatever media there is. -

Biggest need I want to see filled is a staff that knows how to recruit. Clearly the recruiting has been a mess for years. Defenders of the staff will point to facilities and a lack of resources, which may be part of it, but I don’t buy it is the reason this team has been mediocre at best. -

I’d think the tone to the end of the book would be different for sure. -

It came off a 1st round quarterfinal loss to Hartford at home, but yes he probably had no other choice extend him. If he would have gotten to a couple more finals within those 5-6 years I think the story changes, but too bad one will ever know. A question I have is does Benson have full autonomy over all the athletic department decisions? -
Coach Brown/AD Benson Thread

I’m not disagreeing with that at all. I’m all for discussing separately the examples of how he’s done a $iena job and they should definitely be highlighted. Brown re-upped for 5 years under Benson so I wouldn’t necessarily say he never stood a chance. Odds were against him, but it’s not that he didn’t have a chance. -

And if Benson had a change of heart and decided to resign him the narrative is completely changed. It would be perfectly fine for Brown to accept a new contract and we’d hear no complaints from you. Benson being a terrible AD (whether true or not) should have been a completely different topic on its own unrelated to whether Brown was brought back or not. -

Idk what that even means, but I’ll pass. FYI I’ve also declared my interest for the job lol. -

How much are top assistants making at high majors? If the budget is still there I don’t see how this is not an attractive job to any hungry head coach. I don’t care how much of a dump SEFCU is.
