Welcome Coach Tony Skinn!

The entire ACC is about to have this problem. The A10 and the Big East could be better leagues basketball-wise depending on how things break.

ACC may just die entirely when couple schools bolt.

Very very long time. If anyone is ever going to stay, it will be Tony. He could own Mason and the A10 for years to come if this trajectory continues. Will he make mega millions here? No. But the salary is going to set him up for life, and he is at home. Fingers crossed

Yeah, Tony probably isn't looking forward and thinking about his next job like Kim probably was. But someone could still make Tony an offer that he didn't imagine and can't refuse.

I found this Instagram clip of Tony Skinn last year saying "It's been everything. It's not everyday you get to represent the alma mater. A place that changed my life, give me an opportunity. Each possession, each half, each game, it means the world to me. That's going to be the case for me for a very, very long time"

Villanova too, but Neptune is a special case.

Oh and LaVelle Jordon at Butler (but also a special case).

No matter what we do we can’t compete financially with a UVA, UMD, or a Villanova. We have to hope that Skinn has enough loyalty and we do enough for him stick around until the job is done (that is a consistently relevant top A10 program), and if that means 25-30 years? Awesome. But I’m hoping for a solid 7 (10 years would be even better).

UVA is going after Ryan Odom.
Kevin Willard isn't leaving Maryland and Villanova actually might make the tournament and save Neptune's job.

Willard isn’t leaving of his own accord in this scenario…

Anyways, so far a lotta this talk is nonsense. Yall need to sit back and enjoy the ride of the season. Please.

We all know but some of us have been traumatized (Barnes, Larranaga, English) and freak out the second the team has any success. Cant blame them.

I don’t go all the way back to Barnes but can imagine what it must have been like.

One of the first things he said was "it's great to be home."
Right
