I think Mike Morrell from Asheville would be a good get. He produces winners almost every season, on a shoestring budget. The entire UNC Asheville athletic budget is just over $7 million and the men’s basketball program budget at UNCA is $972,227

Don't mark Tim Craft off the list yet.....Look where he went to college: University of FloridaI hope Alex is looking for someone with a better record than Craft. Over the past five seasons at Gardner Webb is a total of one game over 500. No Big South championships or better than third. GW made the NCAA tournament in 2019

Mike Morrell would never leave UNCA to go to WCU. Quite frankly, UNCA is a lot easier program to recruit at that WCU due to our NCAA Tournament history and the city. The Socon is ranked a bit higher, but the Big South is the 18th or 19th ranked conference this season and Asheville is almost always in the top of the conference. While our budget is just under $8Mil this season, we have been raising a ton of money for tremendous facility upgrades. We also secured a $1 mil private donation from a private donor a couple of months ago. We're gonna miss Drew Pember after he goes to the league this off-season though, I can tell you that. Best Bulldog in Asheville history in my opinion.
On the Tim Craft side of things, I'm honestly shocked he's considering WCU. Gardner-Webb has been consistent year in and year out. If I was GW, I'd find the money to offer him 350-400k to maintain him. He's a tremendous asset to their program in an incredibly small town. If he takes the WCU job, you're getting a heck of a coach. You'll love him. Great guy.

As for Craft, it sounds as if he and the AD over there have been butting heads lately; that is if message boards are to be taken seriously…….
