IIRC, IUPUI coach is hired, not interim. However, it was incredibly late, so he was working with what was left, had NO recruits of his own, so this was a known "won't hold it against you" year. Starting next year, the clock is ticking at IUPUI. The other place with dissatisfied fans for WBB is NDSU. 8 national titles in DII, and haven't done squat in DI. Rumblings are beginning in Fargo.

Crane has been marginal in Summit performance since Jacks joined conference. Not Surprised. Wonder if WIU will keep their men's coach. Perfect storm of bad injuries there kept them home in Macomb come March.

I believe WIU's mens coach has something like a 7 year contract with a substantial buyout. Given the financial state of affairs in the state of Illinois and at WIU. On top of all that, Molinari has probably the best resume of all the coaches in the Summit. I would be shocked it WIU fired him.
