College presidents are also spending less time in each job. The average tenure of a college president in their current job was 6.5 years in 2016, down from seven years in 2011. It was 8.5 years in 2006.

Why do you have little faith that we’d get a good replacement?

That would be a small step in the right direction and certainly possible.

HJS {l Wrote}:The problem with building a BB facility wasn't space. The problems were largely due to the manner in which Jarmond went about it. Marty was concerned about ticking boxes... build something... hire a coach... get another job.
If Kraft spends a little upfront money to create a quality plan/vision/design, I think the money will be there. But, like the FB facility, this is something that (if done right) will take time to plan and implement. As I've said before, I think it best to build a forum (where BB has offices, lockerrooms, weightrooms and practice facilities) where games are played. It removes the design issues of Conte (and leaves it as a top-line hockey arena) and it will likely garner more donor dollars (since the facility would be something that would get TV time).

Back in the day I always thought it was cool that BC had separate hockey/basketball venues(although McCue and Roberts were so antiquated) so I applaud your suggestion of a new separate basketball complex.
