assistant coaches

[HSScout1]

Hmm, I'm waiting just a little bit longer before I upgrade my status to 'concerned' regarding the lack of a full staff at this point.

I would call myself more Impatient or aggravated rather than concerned over the lack of naming a coaching staff. At this point, I'm sure they know who the assistant coaches and DOBO are, but just haven't made the information public. However, since the 1st of 2 High School camps is on 6/15, I'd expect an announcement prior to then - in fact, something in the next day or two is more likely...

the next roundball luncheon is on the 15th. i wouldn't expect anything before that?

Kampe wanted to interview for one of the assistant roles (it would be a pay raise) but he doesn't own a suit and tie.

It appears that both the first camp and the roundball luncheon are on the same day (6/15)? Maybe BA is plotting to randomly ask some of the attendees of the luncheon to be assistant coaches?

He can't afford a suit and tie! There isn't any money left to pay him a better salary after their administrators spend our tax dollars on their Fla. golf junkets. I pay an awfull lot of taxes and am asking the State of Michigan to make sure none of my $'s go to OU. from this point on. We already pay more taxes in the UP than are ever returned to us. I myself am already an advocate of the Upper Peninsula not being a part of Michigan.

whatrwe gonna call the new state yooper? i'm in!

in all fairness however, the property tax system rips off the second home owner from down below. we end up paying the vast majority of your school taxes.

Not true Mac! The taxes collected in the UP far outweigh the $'s the state has returned over the last 37 years and the imbalance is increasing not decreasing. The entire state votes on our Wolf problems and Deer harvesting, with absolutely no idea as to the real issues. Our tax dollars go to help the Illich's build new buildings for their sports teams yet most of my friends and neighbors will never see the city of Detroit. The Red Wings, Lions and Tigers are not real high on the buckets lists up here.

Riveting state property tax discussion amongst discussion on potential Assistant Coaches. Move along gents to appropriate forum or off line...

just talking property taxes yooper. the locals raise them most every election because they know theirs aren't going up much since valuations are fixed. fudgies however see ridiculous increases in valuations along with no opportunity to vote. my property valuation increased every year during the late tens and early teens even as my valuaitons in metro detroit plummetted. seriously?

I'm not sure you fully comprehend the travesty that was extending the wolf vote to the full state, rather than allowing the vote at a regional level. Odds are that if the Titans played basketball in the UP, at least 7 wolves would be in attendance at every game.

Cornell Mann, one of my original (and very incorrect) guesses, was hired as an assistant coach by Oakland

[baseball59]

if ba has 2 assistants hired I do not know what would be the purpose of waiting to make an announcement.

[titanmac]

timing. these guys seem like they are more astute at understanding media and how it works. an early casual observation. i hope its correct?

If OU landed Mann, that is a loss for the Titans. A good coach with #2 seat BCS experience who knows how to recruit.

[titanmac]

I suppose you've seen him play?

Mickey Barrett back on staff:

[uofdmik2008]

I don't know what to think of this hire, he has been a consultant for the last 5 years.

[ptctitan]

He's the compliance, paperwork, and get the players to class and study hall guy. They appear to be building up the PR to the two main assistants to replace former assistants Smith and Payne.

[udballer]

Not a terrible announcement... but not really going to blow your skirt up, either. Looks like BA staying in his comfort zone here. It's his call to make, so Godspeed.

Count me as one who hopes he goes a little bit outside of his comfort zone for those final two assistants. I'm rooting for young & hungry with established presences outside of metro-Detroit. If the next announcement is that he's hired former DOBO Matt Mariconda or something... I'll be upset. That said, I actually liked Matt quite a bit when we were in school.
