If the roster this coaching staff has currently constructed finishes middle of the pack, I might have to throw in the towel. This is our best opportunity in years to finally breakthrough.
Welcome Coach Tony Skinn!

Have to win games like the game we lost @ Fordham. That game hurt us imo.
Thanks for sharing. Hurry up November.......
"Guys playing for each other."
Interesting comment. Wonder who he could be talking about?
To be top 15 in the country in both FG% and FG% defense is pretty incredible.
**2 pt FG percentage.
The admins at Mason saw all of this unfold and somehow didn’t have a contract extension offer ready to go after season’s end, and even worse, months later and there’s still radio silence.
It’s frustrating that folks here have to tweet at them in reaction to Frank Martin’s extension news at UMass, with the hopes that they’ll wake up. Will this school ever learn? Unlikely.
Amen. We're already going down the same damn road. Mason where reaction instead of proaction is tradition. Maybe we'll wait until Tony is on a plane somewhere

It’s not just an extension, UMass is going to a demonstrably worse basketball league and they still upped Martin’s pay to $2M a season.
That is institutional commitment. Mason’s administration can’t even spell those words, much less live by them.
Excuse me, I have a side door that all of you may enter through....
100% agree. Now, I don't think you can compare the situations. Martin is an established coach for several years, Tony just did his first year as a head coach. So nobody is asking Mason to extend Tony for 6 years at 2m per. Not today at least.
But there isn't any reason why he shouldn't get a year or two as well as additional money for assistants and whatever else he needs. He makes 950k a year, give more like 1.1, up the assistants salary pool amongst other things and move on.
Its just crazy to me that they still can't be proactive. I want to think this is above athletics' head but I really have no idea.

College hoops coaching salaries: How do UR's Mooney, VCU's Odom, UVa's Bennett stack up?
Where does Mooney stack up when it comes to coaches’ earnings across the league and state? Or compared with vcu’s Ryan Odom, who Richmond faces Saturday in a much-anticipated matchup

I would email someone from Mason Athletics about it:

Pretty sure Frank will make 1.4M more than any other basketball coach in the conference, and about a million more than the highest paid football coach.
And more than twice what our coach makes.
Mason needs to get its collective head out of its a** pronto. No joke, if Tony walks because the administration won’t stop with its typical foot-dragging bullshit, I’m done.
