Re: Western Illinois at Macomb
This team has made great strides so far this year and that doesn't always come through in the record. There is a lot of season left and like I said earlier, I think we learn more about these kids in the next five games then we have all season long.
Obviously, not everyone is going to agree which is fine. IMO the coaching staff should get a tip of the hat for what they have accomplished. There has been a marked improvement on the court this year. Coach Klinkefus is getting the recruits that we need to get. Some people talk about adjusting to D-1 or changing styles of recruiting, etc. I don't know about all that stuff but it sure seems like we are on the right path. We all grow as a result of the experiences we are subjected to you and my assesment is that Coach Nagy has grown as a coach as well. If the staff could be given a two-year contract as a vote of confidence it would be my vote to do so but that isn't a possibility.
It would be a real shame if the next AD or Dr. Chicoine didn't give Nagy and the staff the opportunity to see this thing all the way through. We would almost certainly lose recruits and set the program back another few years. One of the biggest strengths of our Athletic Department is the longevity of the people on staff. It just works and I hope that trand continued when we look for the next AD and when it comes to decisions on all personell changes. To go away from that would be to turn away from what has been a succesful formula not just through transition but for decades.
Let's just all come out and support this team and help them get the last few wins they need to get into the tournament and make all of this conjecture a moot point!
One thing we all agree on is GB, GB, GJ!
