It's time to invest in the person to actually lead the program. We've seen what happens when you hire a cheap coach... you get what you pay for. If they truly want MBB to be a revenue maker, they need to invest in more than an arena to make it happen. Spend the money on a guy with head coaching experience and success as a head coach and watch what happens. It isn't rocket science.

I feel confident you will be disappointed in this regard. JMU’s decision makers don’t budget on ticket revenue potential, they budget on current ticket revenue numbers. Gonna be rummaging around in the bargain bin once again.

This...

A last in the state basketbsll program is good enough, we have olympic sports afterall. Rember this because you will hear it soon and often from the apologists, "the arena was not built for basketball."

Fine. I'll do it

Nobody said anything about bargain bin. You know our bean counters. Can we afford to make a splash hire like this?

How can we possibly afford not to?

A “splash hire” for us would be taking someone from a Donovan, Shiffkreshefki, Larannaga or even Smart coaching tree.

NOT someone from the dean keener “tree”. We do the same sad thing over and over again.

Pretty sure there’s a word for that

King/Bourne: "We can't go out and get an experience HC at a cost of $500K because that would require us to raise student activity fees, something we are trying to avoid because everyone is already complaining about the $4,000 +/- per student"

RamDawg asks "Have you tried raising funds within the private sector? You have?... In the past 6 years, I've never received a phone call asking to increase my donation, never been invited or asked to sponsor a golf tourney. Asked to attend a pre or post season banquet at $500 per plate. Harrisonburg doesn't have enough businesses willing to donate? Have you looked at businesses in Nova, Richmond, Pittsburg?

Most JMU sports are on auto pilot, they are running themselves. But the hole they dug with MBB has become so deep that they are too lazy to try to dig themselves out. If Bourne doesn't have the energy to rebuild the MBB program, check your ego and hire an AD of Basketball and let them run with it.

Centdukes fan would absolutely be a splash hire

Sorry, if you don't live on Bourne's cul-de-sac or mow Charlie's lawn, you're not getting a call.

I can do the speed, agility, conditioning, core and plyometric training.

Didn’t we do this filling of the Coaching roster a decade or more ago?

Funny, in a sad way, we’re here yet again. Or worse, still

Hiring JMU MBB HCs is our version of the movie Ground Hog Day.
