Blah blah blah blah blah. No new coach, no new stadium improvements.

Also Scott didn’t even say anything on the show. Surely he dug into Marlins record and win % before the show since he knew they would discuss it? And where are they now in terms of bringing this to light and forcing Maggard to issue a statement on why he said that….. or why he didn’t know the actual win %. The whole thing is a disgrace to our entire athletics department.

Honestly I’m more disappointed in the incorrect math and the media not asking any questions. Kevin Foote ran an article about the Wednesday interview and failed to mention the 75 percent stat. Not even a mention from Buckley in the Daily Disappointment.

I think it's possible it works out that way. But what if Brown decides to leave before the season for the G-League? He has played 3 seasons of college basketball and may decide he would rather play in the NBA developmental league. It that actually plays out, then we have a worst case scenario taking place anyway. But a new coach could begin the process of rebuilding the program this season instead of kicking the can down the road for another year.

Now I haven't heard that Brown is actually leaving the program, but my understanding is there is some discussion of that possibility with outside people interested in bringing him into the league.

Brown could certainly play in the G-League or professionally overseas right now and if he decides to leave the program at this point those would be his options. Keep in mind he is actually 4 years removed from high school, he sat one year at Arizona. When he transferred in last year I remember looking it up and 22 of the 24 guys on the McDonald's All America team with him were either already in the NBA or had a cup of coffee in the NBA and were now overseas. I think Brown and Quinerly at Alabama were the only 2 from that team still playing in college last year.

Also Akwuba, Williams, and Dalcourt are all in the same boat with a previous transfer and already playing 4 years. Under current rules if they wish to play next year in college next year it would have to be here unless a waiver was involved.

now this is a good debate. was Jessie a better coach or had better players/team. Jessie recruited a full roster of competitive beast year in and year out. they didnt back down from any challenge. matter fact they made up things to feel disrespected about.

spend any time listening to the complaints and checked out people with the basketball program, and I have to seriously ask, how much worst can it get? we seem to be in bottom of the barrel situation now, another year wont kill whats already weakened. any excitment/gains from a coaching change can still happen next year, the gamble is with a decent to successful final year, there maybe better momentum and energy next off season.

No AD retains someone if they are in a "bottom of the barrel" with said coach. If its that low why retain them? I don't understand your argument and there is plenty of potential turnover that can still come from this team even if he stays which can negatively affect the potential for success next year which is exactly what Maggard said he was trying to preserve.

At this point everyone knows why the move to keep him was made. It is a gamble, that either will work out as intended or it wont. It most like will not make sense to many on a level that would have made the many people take the same action if they were in charge. my point was this, as bad as people say it is now, it wont get considerably worst next season in a big picture view. for some individuals, it may seem worst to them and we should mostly agree with that.
