Well, that didn't take long...That was the fastest hire I have ever seen. Because Alex knew months ahead JG was leaving and I would not be surprised if some conversations had occurred before the JG announcement

I kind of feel sorry for GW. First they lost their football coach to ETSU and he took 80 percent of his players and now they have lost their basketball coach and he will probably bring at least some of his players.

Yeah Alex has known for months this was Justin’s last season. Again, it wasn’t a secret to anyone close to the program.
I don’t think AG cared about who he hired because he’s not going to be here. The first chance he gets he’s out of here. Too much of a mess to have to answer for.

I feel AG did not put as much thought into this as he did JG and KB as he knows he won't be here past one more year

The first chance he gets he’s out of here. Too much of a mess to have to answer for. In my opinion, that is harsh to say that Alex did not care who he hired. You may be exactly right that Alex is leaving but to make a statement that he did not care who he hired is a disservice to Alex and to our new coach. Everything I read about Tim Craft is very positive and he has won games consistently at GW. The folks on their message board are very sad that he is leaving. Did you think that Western was going to lure Coach K out of retirement to take over as our new coach? I think this is a great hire. Every time he went head to head against Coach J Gray, he beat J Gray and that is an important stat. You seem to be very upset with the athletic department. As far as the White Building having to bail out athletics at Western, that is old news. Like 90+ percent of colleges, athletics has never made money at Western and even the last AD had to be bailed out occasionally. It is nothing new that money has had to be moved from the left pocket to the right pocket to balance budgets in a lot of departments at Western. You might be right that Alex is leaving but do you really think that information should be posted on a public message board. I don’t know, but it appears you have some kind of ax to grind with Western and the Athletic department. In my opinion, if you want to post information about perceived personnel and performance issues, you should use the members only forum. From my perspective, Alex is a good man who is doing his level best to move athletics forward and he has the student athlete as his top priority. I am sure he is not perfect like all of us, but to slander the man on a public message board is not right in my opinion.
