He makes 275K as an assistant. He has expressed interest in Milwaukee in the past. I think it depends on the total budget. The two assistants under him make over 200K. He recruits Wisconsin as well as anyone. I am sure it is possible.

He would definitely be my first choice

"I actually have a really weird source for TJ information. And now my inside source doesn't really have an active connection to ISU so they have no ulterior motives. TJ would leave ISU to become the HC at UWM. He wouldn't leave ISU to become the HC at any other Horizon League school if that was the choice." A post on the ISU board, obviously no clue if it's credible at all. But they actually have a whole thread about Jeter being fired. Interesting to read other fan bases take on it. cyclonefanatic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216274 |

TJ could be a good choice, assuming he would want to stick his neck out and report to Amanda Braun. We are going to need a strong recruiter who can repair the damage done by Amanda.

I like the idea of having a Milwaukee native as the coach. Wouldn't it be funny if TJ and Rob swapped positions? After all coach Jeter has been known to want to leave Milwaukee for Iowa St.

Hmmmmm....former Whitewater AD takes the reigns and then hires a Whitewater alum to coach under him? I like that.

No one wants the job. Everyone is leaving and we'll drop basketball. No point in even discussing this anymore.

After all that has happened with regard to Paul Plinske, what do you suppose it would take for him to accept the position if it became open? i'm guessing something along the lines of a full-page ad in the Journal-Sentinel, begging forgiveness for passing over him in two previous AD searches for Rick Costello, who flamed out rather spectacularly, and Amanda Braun, who is currently the AD but has not demonstrated the leadership skills that inspire confidence that she will be able to build the program up to the level of success we would all like to see...  |

It would take a huge commitment to Paul Plinske for him to say yes to the program. I'm not talking money, although I'm sure that would be part of it. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down a lot. He was publicly embarrassed in 2013 when we turned him down a second time.

If Otzelberger is legitimately in play, I would hope we'd give Scott Nagy at South Dakota State a call. He might be sticking with SDSU for life at this point, but it's worth a shot.

Akeem Springs in the JS Article:
"I'm coming to the understanding and the realization that I don't necessarily have to trust or like my athletic director, and she doesn't have to like me or the team," he said. "But we just want all the resources (that are available), especially when they're firing people for not meeting expectations."
So tell me, honestly, if you were a coach in demand like TJ or some of the others mentioned here, and you see this, does it make Milwaukee an attractive option?
Now add in that there are on the record comments from the single biggest donor to the school, and to the program, stating that he will not give a dime while Braun is here, and are you still feeling Milwaukee is a good option for the next step in your career?
Finally, there is a real possibility that you not only lose one or more recruits, but also some of the roster as well. Now what do you think.
Doesn't this make the whole "being a D1 coach" thing a lot less important to the candidate???

Doesn't this make the whole "being a D1 coach" thing a lot less important to the candidate??? Of course it is an attractive job... 1. It's one of only 351 jobs in the country. 2. There is a history of success & and coaches moving on to larger schools. 3. It is in a large market 4. You play home games in a beautiful arena (that is going to see continued improvements) 5. A state of the art practice facility will likely be built within the next four years. 6. You we likely have a foreign trip in the next two seasons. A huge key for recruiting. 7. It would likely be a large pay increase for a D1 assistant or lower level coach It took me 30 seconds to come up with 7 good reasons. I'm sure there are many many many more. When coaches leave or are fired players are going to leave and recruits will de-commit. That's the way it works. It's not the end of the world that some you guys are making it out to be. |

If the players are happy, who am I to judge. They are expressing their feelings now, and unlike some on the board, I am respecting those feelings as well. |
