Coaching Carousel about to crank up

[Bogozags]

I think it does. The definition of nonprofit apparently means different things to different people. When the President of a private college has a salary of a million or more, I would say that person is profiting. Not to mention all the professors, administrators, etc. that are in the upper 5% of income earners in the country. Even the state schools have enormous salaries for a lot of people, including the football and basketball coaches.

Check out the salary schedule for University of California employees. I can't count the number of people being paid between $300,000 to $600,000. https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-r...lty-admins.pdf

I don't have a problem with anyone making whatever they can, but calling it nonprofit is a stretch in my mind.

The same thing happens in the charity field. They call their "business" nonprofit and the top people are raking in the dough.

I can agree with you and the Non-Profits that pay their staff members exorbitant salaries should have limitations on what the program is permitted to pay, which I believe is determined by either the IRS or Congress...

I don't know and can't speak for other private universities/colleges but my understanding is that Harvard has a tremendous grant program, where students that are accepted BUT don't have the funds to pay tuition/fees/books/ are given grants.

Question: Does Coach Few make more than the President of GU?

No doubt. There’s a school for everyone. I’m talking about the best institutional strategy for GU.

No you're not. You're running your mouth about a HS kids college choice. What does Liam Lloyd going to GCU have to do with GU's institutional strategy? You've said over and over (and over) that he (an 18 year old kid you've never met) shouldn't go there because of the school.

Does this post have a point?

certainly

when you have colleges taking huge amounts of federal dollars, tax payer dollars, paying professors average salaries in excess of 250,000 a year and hord a huge endowment savings account only to come back and take more from the tax payers and then hide behind a "non profit" claim is disgusting

Compared to GCU who pays an average salary to professors of 60,000 year providing a cost benefit to those who want to attend ......

the idea that it is "bad" to be a for profit to teach or educate is foolhardy in my book and is part of the problem of upper educational costs that have spiraled out of control

Dude - we get it. GCU is not up to your standards. Real classy to continue banging on Liam Lloyd's college choice. You better have gone to Harvard with the way you talk S**t....

I think Bryce Drew might be a perfect coach for Liam Lloyd. Having watched Bryce play in college, there is a similarity in their games and Bryce is a super positive, high character guy. I think Liam Lloyd will surprise a lot of people. He is not just a shooter, he is good defender for his size, distributes the ball and has a HIGH basketball IQ. Last year when Gonzaga Prep won the state tourney, it really was Liam Lloyd that carried them in the final game against Federal Way. If he had not been so hot in the first half, Federal would have walked away with the game.

Non profit or for profit so many differences but it's mostly just in our perception of what we think each should be!

Anyone out in Zagland think Terry Porter deserves another year? I do. They were not bad in the non confrence and had some more than competitive games in the WCC. Unless Portland is going to bring in a huge name coach, I think Porter still brings something to the table in Portland.
That is one tough job!

Back to coaching changes...

LMU hires Stan Johnson, associate head coach at Marquette.


LMULions.com: LMU Names Stan Johnson Men’s Basketball Head Coach

ESPN: Loyola Marymount turns to Marquette's Stan Johnson as coach

Johnson has extensive West Coast ties, spending time as an assistant coach at Arizona State, Utah and Cal State Northridge -- in addition to Drake and Marquette.

Good addition to the WCC.

Someone on the LMU board with a "credible source" started a thread yesterday stating that Damon Stoudamire was their new Coach. The news received mixed reviews & then................oops.

I would get rid of him. I liked him as a player but he is not a good coach. He has not shown improvement at all.

I'm glad Terry is staying.

I wouldnt be either. He has finished last in the conference in 3 of 4 years, and 9th the other year. He has 1 conference win in the last 2 years. There has been no improvement over his tenure.

UNLV tried to offer Randy Bennett 1.5 million a few years ago, and he didn't bite, so why would Randy go to GCU? GCU didn't do its homework and failed to understand its place in the pecking order within college basketball. Vegas is a better program, has more tradition, a first rate on campus arena, and plays in a better league. Randy has already shown thru his disinterest in ASU that the hometown thing isn't going to persuade him. At some point an AD is going to have to open their wallet, and no one has done that yet.

I keep saying this....if I were a BCS AD, I'd offer Randy 3 to 4 million a year. He's that great of a coach. But BCS AD's are gutless because they're more interested in winning the press conference instead of winning games. Bennett built SMC out of NOTHING. It's senseless that he has not been offered a job for at least 3 mil per year while dork coaches like Kevin Stallings keep getting recycled. Maybe a smart BCS AD will offer Randy 3.5 mil and he won't bite. But no one has done it yet.
