John Groce @ Akron. He is making ~750k a year. Maybe too pricey but he has been great at the MM level at Akron & Ohio. If he had been at Illinois during the NIL era, he would have been successful. He unfortunately never had a plan C on recruiting and always went after 5* when he should have been after 4* guys.
My hope is the donors are as pissed off as we are and want to show that ISU can be successful even without the self promoter. Hopefully that gives them incentive to stay aggressive.
not enough $$ in ISU coffers for Wade, he'll land at Vanderbilt or Louisville or other $football$ schoolWill Wade?
They did once upon a time promote Hodges when king couldn't do it anymore.

One thing I found interesting when watching the selection show was how many of the high seeds were described like ISU. “So and so 14 seed can really score. They shoot a lot of 3’s and get to the basket. They are very efficient and fast paced.” And I’d think, “Gosh, that sounds like us.” Then I’d hear the same thing about another team. Then another.Yep, our landing literally is in their hands now. If they keep their committed funds in the pot -- even 50-75% of them, we will have a head coach salary in the upper quartile of the Missouri Valley and that will be attractive.

My point being that maybe Schertz isn’t some genius that can’t ever be found again. The game is trending in that direction of the style we played. There are other coaches at D2 or LM that can bring that same style. Let’s make it worthwhile to get them.
No way he’d leave the NE I’d imagine but he’s run a heck of a program at VermontI think I'd also give John Becker a call. He's been at Vermont forever and could be a lifer.
For the 2023-24 school year, Becker's base pay is $375,920. According to incentive terms in his contract, Becker has achieved bonus earnings for winning the America East title ($20,000) and being named the league's coach of the year ($10,000). For the 2022-23 season, Becker was paid out $75,000 in bonuses.

Always amazed me that Gonzaga, St Mary's, Vermont, Belmont (with Byrd) could hold onto their coaches. That's how it should be, but I'm just waiting for that to happen here. Seems like the only way it could happen for us is if a guy like Odum or Khristian Smith (that guy loves indiana State) turns out to be hell of a coach.I found a thread on the Buffalo (I think) forum that says he was interviewed for their opening in 2023. Doesn't hurt to inquire.
