AtlantaTiger 203 Report post Posted March 11 In addition to our game today I’m going to be keeping a close eye on that Arkansas State vs. JMU game in the Sun Belt. Bryan Hodgson is aiming to take Arkansas State to the big dance in his first season as HC. They took down #1 seed App State yesterday. Good for Bryan Hodgson…..first year HC.

tigerjake 41 Report post Posted March 12 I know the loss is still fresh in everyone's minds, but I wanted to take a second to thank you all for following my coverage of the team over the last three years, in whatever capacity it may have been. The constant engagement from you all kept me going and gave me a reason to continue covering the team in the way that I did. I'm graduating in May so this is the last season I'll be covering them. I'll still be reporting on the transfer portal until then, but I won't be around nearly as much next season. Thanks, Jake 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samford has a coach in his 4th year, was a hs coach prior, just won the socon tourney along with back to back regular season titles. Oh he also had a shitty first year but was able to win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Jake Jake, we appreciate it and know you're going to do great things at The Sun and in the future. We're hurt after this collapse but some of us who have been around a long time are just used to it. From one "asleep at the wheel" to another. I know you won't miss all the ball busting. (lol). Maybe in a few years you can take over running the CAA communications department. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unbelievable. What a joke of a university. Steve and co, why was the last extension given last season?! Why was it hush hush?! . 564 winning % and just one losing season?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve and co, why was the last extension given last season?! Why was it hush hush?! . 564 winning % and just one losing season?! After giving it some more thought, this whole Pat Skerry contract extension could really come back to bite Steve and impact the trajectory of his own career. How will potential future employers view Steve’s decision to extend a coach who is just north of .500 with ZERO NCAA Tournament appearances over the course of 13(?) seasons? ”So Steve, in your opinion it made sense to extend Pat Skerry, based on what exactly? Would you use those same standards/criteria here at University X when evaluating our coaches?” Steve has hitched his wagon to Skerry with no clear or practical contract exit strategy. No one will be able to bail Steve out of this other than Skerry and that’s highly unlikely. What if the Tigers take a massive step backwards next season and only win 10-12 games? These two are married to one another….for better or for worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
