Gamecock assistant head coach Matt Figger will probably get in on that Winthrop opening

 

[CaptainInsanoCock]

Just the new Winthrop way. Gregg set the precedent. Not a shock that Pat would leave after his success.

Agree with that 100%.

Well, that didn't last long. He pulled a Bobby Cremins.

Seriously?!? No way Winthrop could match the offer, could they?

Bamford said he accepted Kelsey's decision after discussing the situation with him.

"In my conversation with Pat, he made it clear that his reasons were very personal and upon his request, I will honor our confidential conversation. Pat stressed that his decision was not based on the University of Massachusetts or our basketball program. Again, his reasons were personal in nature. I know that the unforeseen circumstances surrounding his decision were not in our control," Bamford said in the statement.

Hmmm. Interesting. That "explanation" will lend itself to a lot of speculation.

So is he still the coach at Winthrop?

Beloved Coach Gregg Marshall accepted an offer to coach the College of Charleston in June 2006, but changed his mind after the press conference introducing him as coach and returned to Winthrop.

Yeah, that's pretty well known. Are you saying Winthrop has some kind of extraordinary pull that draws people back in?

no; are you?

 

[rogue cock]

no; are you?

Am I what? Just trying to figure out what your post was intended to mean. UMass is a bigger job than CoC....would be much more difficult to turn down.

No....but I'm not the one who brought up Gregg Marshall doing the same thing.

He is one of three people I can think of doing it. A natural thing to mention.

Had a case of Cremminsitus. I didn't know it was catching.

When I interviewed for a job up north, they flew my wife up there too and took us both out to dinner to make sure she was on board with the move. They wanted to prevent this type of scenario. I don't know the back story, but it could be a wife veto.

Pat Kelsey leaving UMASS for Winthrop

 

[RockThrillCock]

Glad he changed his mind. He is a dynamic coach who is just starting to build here. His team was just so much weaker and thinner than Butley they never had a prayer. He will have other opportunities but he doesn't exactly have to rub pennies together now.
