Ties to this area obviously being from Struthers. He's been the recruiting coordinator for Akron for many years, a great assistant under Dambrot and a consistent 20+ win and NCAA tournament contender. His wife played basketball at YSU.
It all makes sense.... But Strollo and Co. will screw it up somehow I'm sure.

I know someone on the inside of the Akron basketball program and he said McFadden is begging for the YSU job. Hopefully it'll be his pretty soon.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. He wants to be here. Jerry looks and sounds like he'd rather be down in florida retired on the beach.

?? You would fire Slocum for a career back-up?? Struthers? Who cares? Robic and Slocum hail from basketball parts of America. Hire him ...Then what is going to happen, we get a natural short-term bump in a year or 2 simply because of the change & then it is misery once again. No thanks. We are a D1 program & I want someone better than what we have and "it ain't comin' for no $150k a year".
PS. Dean Hood is the considered the father of the 3-3-5 hybrid defense that is used all over the NFL today and we would have been lucky to have him as a DC or HC. (note I said DC). Do you realize how many big time collegiate and NFL teams visited him annually? He finished 1st or 2nd in the OVC in 5 of his 7-years (as HC) at EKU. Once under coach T (his first-year) and a couple of years under Heacock were the only times we have ever seen that. BTW, stop talking about the level of competition within other conferences. The level of competition within the OVC is just as good as the MVFC, the conference just does not have quite the bottom as the MVFC. Furthermore, Hood was a fantastic recruiter at Wake Forest.

1AA your comments are hilarious. Slocum was a disaster, and F grade during his time year. Why not an assistant who has been successful and part of a winning program a chance. Most, if not many great head coaches worked their way up as assistants at quality programs.
Anyone, and I mean anyone would be an upgrade from a coach whose teams play NO defense, and he is also a miserable SOB.
As for Hood, are you serious? His claim to fame is recruiting at Wake Forest? That football program is lousy, even in a good year, they struggle to get to .500 and they play in a meaningless bowl game. If Hood were any good, why didn't get another head coaching job?
As for competition, the MVC is the Big 10, and the OVC is the MAC. They had one good team last year, Jacksonville State, and YSU buried them on their home field in the playoffs. When has an OVC team made a run at a National Title on gone deep in the playoffs?
go guins:
I don't have an opinion on MBB coaches, but the question of hiring an assistant or hiring only experienced HC is silly. What happens if Army didn't hire an unknown assistant from Indiana as HC back in 1975? Yea, one Mike Krzyzewski He had a good teacher in coach Knight and a connection to Army. Seems to me that kind of parallels McFadden in a smaller scale. We don't have much to sell in MBB at YSU. Years of losing, and bottom tier payroll, so you don't draw the "hot" coaches.
