i don't know why he would leave SFA for anything other than a p5 job either, nothing to really gain

Remember Robert Hill (SFA AD) gave BU his first division one head coaching gig and BU is very grateful for that and BU is going to want to go to another program that is just as committed to winning as SFA is.

you're crazy if you think he wouldn't come home to coach his beloved alma mater.

No, I think he would leave SFA for KSU, (hello power 5 school, like I said) I never said he wouldn't. I'm addressing the comments of him going to a Tulane, or Marshall, or any other mid major over SFA.

I'll be a fan of his no matter where he goes.

What if a mid major offered him more money and they were a 10-17 school the last couple of years. If he thought the run at SFA was over, would he take more money to rebuild another mid major to a 20-25 win team?

I don't think so, because SFA is the mid-major he wants to build, not go to another mid-major and do what he is already doing now.

No lateral moves here, power 5 or bust.

Like I said he has already been offered more money from other mid-majors and turned them down.

But if a power 5 offers him the keys, he goes. I think he would be at Iowa State right now had they offered last season.

I know its somehow a major insult to call low major teams what they are, but the facts are there. The Southland conference is generally one of the bottom 5 D1 conferences in kenpom and has never been a 2 bid league. If SFA had lost any of their conference tournaments the last 3 years they still would've been left out, even with total domination of your league. Brad has done a great job and SFA is a really good basketball program right now, but they are still a low major and if you don't win your league tournament you won't be invited.

There a lot of gray areas in D1 basketball when it comes to high major vs. mid major vs. low major. It's a combination of tradition, recent success, and conference affiliation.

That's fair.

This has been discussed a bit, but Brad has only beaten one Top 50 RPI team in 3 years at SFA and that was in the NCAA tournament his first year.

I'd say that is a good sign of being a low major.

You're a low major if someone has to google your school to find out where the campus is

4 NCAA Tournaments since 2009 and you still have never heard of us?

I'll give you a hint, it is where Brad Underwood currently resides. lol

SFA is definitely the most successful low-major in recent memory (could be because they're the only one I've ever paid attention to, but whatever). But places like VCU, Memphis, New Mexico, WSU, BYU etc. aren't lateral moves from SFA. Not saying Underwood would take any of those jobs, let's just not pretend SFA is one of their peers.

Sorry, I must disagree SFA is a peer and can stand with any of those programs.

Here is another guy who would disagree with you as well.



Give us time as we continue to grow. (Only been in Division I since 1987)

- On campus ESPN Studio (All home games on ESPN3)
- Weekly Coach Radio Show
- New state of the art court floor (only one in the country of its kind)
- New center 4 sided suspended video board (Installing later this year)
- Increase in season tickets sells
- Sold out games in a 7,200 seat arena

SFA in head to head has beaten VCU, Memphis, Marshall, (blew a 20 point lead on Tulane and 18 point lead on UAB) but can hang and beat any of those programs.

No, we are not a powerhouse on the national level, but to dismiss SFA as some subpar, nobody knows your name program is laughable.

But we are doing the best we can with a commitment to being the best which BU likes.

If you go into defensive mode, you lose. On gE, and in life.
