I know that UNCW was good before Blizzard and Wainwright got here but the teams BB played on were legit teams and could play with most top teams of that era.I always give Kevin Eastman the credit for turning the program round and setting the table for the teams that followed.Eastman was and is a great coach.

Wrong on both counts. Bass isn't anywhere near to "on the hot seat". In fact, he is respected and supported tremendously by the BOT, and that's what matters. And secondly, there is no need to win quick with Keatts. He is a quality guy and everyone is happy with him at the helm and the direction we are going. All the decision makers realize his system may take a few recruiting classes to put in place, and they are willing to give it time to happen. You need to get your facts straight before spouting out such nonsense.

Take it easy on The Mullet. He's been too busy writing a big check to save the track program to have time to get his facts straight....

RE: Davidson thread
If Keatts does not win Bass will get fired and so will Keatts-done deal 100% and if you think otherwise you are just flat wrong.Bass gave Peterson a contract extension for no reason and you are paying for that right now.UNCW basketball is still a mess and I know you guys have confidence in Keatts and he may well be the guy to win some games here but it is not an easy place to win games.I put his his chances at below average but the big thing he has in his favor is the CAA and how weak it is right now.
Not sure why you think Bass is a stand up guy.I would say ask the players that Keatts cut what they think about Bas and Keatts..Ask the members of the teams that he just cut and their parents what kind of guy Bass is.

RE: Davidson thread
I have been going to Trask since the early 80's and have a very good grasp on how things work at UNCW.It has been historically a decent program with some great years mixed in with terrible years like the last 6-7 years.I think it is most likely on a slight up tick and you can credit that to the CAA.
The CAA is a bad league right now and offers UNCW all most nothing on the plus side.The only saving grace is the addition of Elon and COC from a travel stand point but they are not adding much from the basketball side of things.The CAA will be a one bid in the future and I think it gets weaker over time as a few more schools leave for a better fit.
Bass has to this point been a huge failure IMO.Basketball is the deal at UNCW and he has a real mess there right now.Not to mention cutting the track programs and the lack of class he showed in the process.I get it that he needed to free up some money but how about the half a million a year he is paying Peterson to work for the Charlotte Hornets?He has shown no vision for the future.Maybe he got lucky and Keatts can save his job.

RE: Davidson thread
Basketball isn't a mess at UNCW. They have an excellent (understatement) recruiting class coming in and are currently ranked #100 in the RPI and top 135 in the Sagarin index. APR is in good shape, as is moral. I agree with much of what you write Jumpin, but can't allow something that I just don't feel is correct.

Are they going to get bombed today by Louisville? Yes, but so is everybody else.

How did they do last year?What is the current record?Where were they picked to finish in the CAA this year?Did the coach cut two players who were both good students and decent players?How is the attendance at home games?Does anybody go to away games at all?What me to keep going?I know you will come back with next year and Keatts is great,I say let's see it first.The same thing was said about Peterson and Moss.It is a mess until they have at least one winning season.

This is year 1 with Keatts. If you don't understand or consider the dynamics here, no need to debate this.

RE: Davidson thread
Basketball had a singular problem. We had a winning philosophy and formula, and weren't happy with winning CAA championships and going to the Big Dance. So, we screwed around and let an excellent coach walk away, and COMPLETELY changed our philosophy. We abandoned a defensive mindset, and went for the high scoring game. It didn't work at UNCW and never was going to. There are always teams with better recruits and athletes. Plus, Benny was a nice guy, but a horrible coach.

We compounded our problems with a terrible AD, who had no confidence from the coaching community after foolishly firing Benny mid season. We were left scrambling for a coach, and Buzz was a last minute hire, who was asked to navigate the APR mess that Benny left behind. Plus, Buzz didn't have a winning formula. Another mistake made with no thought about a long term strategy. Yes, Jimmy may have made a mistake in extending Buzz, but we weren't exactly in the position to command a good coach with our continuing APR problems.

But, now we have Keatts. And now we have a coach with a philosophy that has proven to be a winner. And if we have success, and Keatts leaves, we can continue that style of play, and there are plenty of coaches in the Pitino tree who can step right in without missing a beat. For the first time since the Wainright/Brownell era, we have a proven winning philosophy that has the potential to return us to long term, repeatable success.

Who knows, Keatts may not lead us to wins. But, if he does, we should be set up for quite awhile.

I agree 100%,maybe Keatts wins and maybe he does not.Either way Bass is hardly a stand up guy and did not have to give a guy a contract extension who never won a damn thing except the confidence of Jimmy Bass.I just don't care for the guy at all.He strikes me as a used car dude just like Buzz.

RE: Davidson thread
I have not agreed with the way everything has been handled. I lost my seats that I had a contract on for one more year when they put the new seats in. But, what's good for UNCW athletics in the long run is my biggest concern. And having kept tabs on athletics as a whole, I see the athletic dept. getting stronger. Bass didn't put us in the financial bind we have been in. And it takes money and shifting of financials to get out of such a hole. Also, I have not ever been able to understand how withdrawing contributions helps the situation. The ones who are hurt the most are the student athletes.
My challenge to all Seahawk fans would be to put up or shut-up. And that is not directed to any individuals. It's just the way I see things.

He most certainly added to the depth they are in right now and to say otherwise is BS.We all know the deal at UNCW is lack of capitol and you have to be very frugal to make it work and not spend like a drunken sailor.The way to get poeple's attention is to hit them where it hurts-in the wallet.I disagree with throwing good after bad and hoping it works sooner or later.

Not sure about stones 'cause mullet is better throwing around something that is brown in color and of much softer consistency.

I don't see why anyone would throw a brownie around. They're delicious.

My three children have attended 4 colleges/universities. If they ask my wife and I for money, we give. We give to 2 of them.

We have never been asked to give by UNCW, although my eldest child graduated 9 1/2 years ago and we live in the same house. If they sent us a letter we'd give.

If they invited me to a reception at a country club, I'd give more.

Yet they spend all day cold-calling alum who just started paying off their student loans.

Like Nation said, you must be one of the lucky ones...

In all seriousness though, I will gladly arrange for a Seahawk Club package to be sent to whatever address is necessary.
