wouldn't be shocked at all if it was only those center court seats that remained DBS (A, X, L, M)

theres already no demand. for the townhall game they gave away rows upon rows of what are considered donor based seats.
hey huerta if you readin this dont tell jimmy **** that i put xlax in teh chuck wagons...lol

I am definitely not giving this guy a chance. I hope he loses every game he coaches here and gets fired and takes Bates with him.

Fuck it. Everything Hjs says is right. We are a fucking joke. And brad bates is a fucking coward.

I will now sum up the press conference in advance:

'I didn't enter this process expecting to taste a penis, let alone finish an entire cock myself and then lick the plate clean - but now that I have, I want to share the taste of penis with the wider Boston College community. So let's all keep an open mind and bite into this dick sandwich I've prepared for you.'

You can all skip it. The Addazio press conference (thread still available somewhere) liveblog (STUDENTS) was hilarious. This will just make me sad.

I for one welcome this hire. We need a coach who knows how to relate to 2* players, and no one can deny that Christian has that part down.

Rightfully so.

ATL deserves a little of that too, with that ridiculous post about Bates reaching out to big names and having money to spend.

I imagine the most winning coach in the MAC is roughly the equivalent of the best looking girl at a flea market

but seriously, this hire = :81

I admit that I find Bates' touting of Jim Christian having the highest winning percentage in the MAC funny on many different levels.

I don't know if the Wright stuff is real. I know Bates met with Howland. I also know the BOT approved a budget over 2M. But that wasn't enough to get those guys and have no idea if any of the other guys took us seriously. We just paid Ohio 500k to buy this guy out. Money wasn't the main issue here.

This. We randomly did not go cheap here. We paid millions in buyouts to get rid of the Don and hire this guy. I am going to support the new coach because I want him to do well but this was just an awful outcome to a terrible process. :ace

So is the issue the overall perception of BC basketball coaching position being a shit job? Essentially meaning that BC is such a shitty job (facilities, fan base, administrative support, etc), that we couldn't garner interest from any coaches that slot in the quality level between the Howland's/Wrights of the world and this historically under-performing, uninspiring coach we just hired????

Or are you saying that Bates fucked this one up?

Or something else?

Including the 500K buyout, I am sure that the average of annual salary is still around 1.3 million. Pretty pathetic salary for an ACC basketball coach, definitely going to be bottom of the barrel.


The issue is pathetic leadership.

We hire someone to help with the search.

2 weeks later we hire someone that is represented by the person we hired to help with the search.

A good leader doesn't let that shit happen. You hire someone who doesn't have an outside fucking stake in the whole process. Bates better fucking hope Jim Christian hits it out of the park. Hires good assistants and wins immediately. Because he threw all the goodwill he had out the window with this one.

A photo of Jim Christian cutting down the nets on March 9, 2013. Ohio beat Miami (OH) to clinch a co-regular season championship with Akron. Akron beat Ohio twice in the regular season to break the tie.

Within the last few minutes, a nice young lady called on behalf of the Flynn Fund. (Today, of all days. They must be crazy!) Gave me an opportunity to vent. She quickly realized I was not about to continue my contributions in the face of Bates' awful performance. At least not at this time. Said she would make a note of my reaction. I asked that she use the word "outrage".
