They quoted years and amounts so I think the there were discussions with at least agent who probably was talking with the coach. I think there plenty happening behind the scenesWe're missing context on this. He would NOT be offered a job without interviewing for it so IF he was offered, that means he or his agent reached out or responded to an inquiry and he had interviews, met with decision makers and they presented a formal offer. It could be that they loosely used the word "offered" when what really happened is someone reached out from FAU and Louisville to express interest see if he wanted to apply for the job and he said no to that. Big difference there.
That would be wild if he turned down UL, FAU, and SLU!They quoted years and amounts so I think the there were discussions with at least agent who probably was talking with the coach. I think there plenty happening behind the scenes
Looks like they are fighting to keep the coach.

Early January they were getting above 4,000 to home games. When we win people will pack the arena again and then when Schertz leaves Indiana State will not be getting the crowds they are getting now. Vicious cycle but its a cycle.Side note: I watched Indiana State's last home NIT game the other night and was blown away by the sellout crowd. I remember going to that arena and also seeing attendance numbers that were much worse than what Illinois State has been in recent years. It's almost incomprehensible to me how they could turn the Terre Haute community and Indiana State fanbase around like that to generate sellouts today. Lately, I've lost hope that Illinois State could ever turn things around because the community and fanbase feel apathetic but watching Indiana State gives me some hope.
I’m guessing this goes on in junior high and high school. Rochester 8th grade basketball team has twins Khordell and Khornell Gregory. Khordell is one of the best (if not the best) 8th grade guard in the state. As 7th graders they lost in the state championship game. As 8th graders they lost in semifinals to the same school (and eventual champion) they lost to in the 7th grade championship game. They want to stay at Rochester. Parents want them to go to Sacred Heart Griffin. Can’t imagine any SHG Booster/Alumni would be trying to persuade the parents decision. Personally (and selfishly) I hope the kids stay at Rochester and continue the journey they have been on with their classmates and teammates. But we shall see if the SHG influencers/parents or twins win out. As for the future, I would love to see them playing at Illinois State. Khornell possibly (due to his being a bit shorter), but Khordell definitely has High major size and skills, and basketball IQ.Well I think the NIL makes it so called legal to pay players that the Blue Bloods have always done by surrogates under the table. Whether they provided vehicles, cash, or jobs for family. Coaches that have cheated or turned a blind eye to shady boosters seem to always find a job if they win. ie Bruce Pearl
Short term success is very achievable, it's the long term success that is become more and more difficult. I've seen a lot of angst about four Mountain West teams making the tourney, the powers that be do not want upstarts to succeed. They love their name brand schools for a lot of reasons.Early January they were getting above 4,000 to home games.

We were neighbors with the Cox twins. They used to beat the daylights out of one of my sons...in a good way. Anyway, Rochester got them.

I say Yes. Khordell will start Varsity from day one wherever he ends up.We were neighbors with the Cox twins. They used to beat the daylights out of one of my sons...in a good way. Anyway, Rochester got them. Why not these peeps?
