Rob after year one was being looked at to jump to Iowa St, Panther fans alike after losing Bruce, loved the long term extension. So, we should blame Bud for the long term contract.  |

So, we should blame Bud for the long term contract. We should blame him for continually rolling that contract over after each season, even the bad ones. I think this is the biggest thing you can pin on Bud. Rob signed his contract right before new age AD's started bringing in clauses that didn't exist before. I don't think the automatic extension was a bad idea, but I think the criteria could have been put together better and there should have been a buyout clause. The more time goes by, the more I start to realize the problem may have not been Rob, but Rob's contract. I wonder, if 100k of that had gone to the recruiting or operating budget instead, and he wasn't the highest paid coach in the conference 7/10 years, would everyone have looked at him differently? That's all water under the bridge. Of course, Braun is burning the bridge, so who knows. Maybe we'll all drown. Sent from my SCH-R970 using proboards |

Yeah, the rolling over of 1 year extensions of Rob Jeter’s contract is an example of real life being stranger than fiction. Jeter’s contract got a 1 year roll over extension after each the 2006-07 season and the 2007-08 season. In each of these seasons the team had a record of more losses than wins. The 2006-07 team had a record of 9-22 and the 2007-08 team had a 14-17 record. It’s unbelievable that a coach would get a one year extension after each season of two under 500 seasons. I can understand a wait and see approach, but to reward 1 year extensions after the team goes 9-22 and 14-17 is mind boggling. |

06-07 was his first year without Pearl's players. You have to keep a coach on long enough to see how he does recruiting.

I can understand a wait and see approach, but to reward 1 year extensions after the team goes 9-22 and 14-17 is mind boggling. It was simple - you put the contract out 5-6 years so when recruiting, the kids know they're likely going to have this coach their whole college career. 9, 14, 17, 20. Looked like it was going up to me. I'd amend your post to say the criteria for the automatic extensions were weird. I don't think the 2006 contract had those IIRC. |

So Johnson said they've been trying to "fire Rob Jeter for eight years." Didn't Jeter turn down an offer from Bradley after the '11 season? He also insinuated UWM basically forced Jeter to sign a long-term contract after his first season so as to not be considered a "stepping stone" job after losing Ryan and Pearl. Finally, he stated that he didn't have anything personal against Braun, less than 12 hours after calling her a "deplorable human being" on Instagram. This has been another embarrassing chapter in a book that needs to be closed. It's a complete joke. I totally agree, 97! I personally will not miss his radio call--I have always thought he was terrible! His radio calls were so one-sided (homer); he sounded like an amateur. Then he writes this??? Good Riddance! |

I understand, my point is why would a coach get a year extension after going 9-22. I can understand the wait and see approach in the first few seasons of a coach's tenure, but it's ridiculous to get a 1 year extension after going 9-22. |

"Statement from the Milwaukee Athletic Department regarding Bill Johnson resignation: In the social media posting announcing his decision not to pursue his position next season, Bill Johnson - the longtime voice of the Milwaukee men's basketball team - was highly critical of the UWM administration and Athletic Department. We believe his comments are unwarranted and unfair and are likely motivated by his own suspension from his position in February for making racially insensitive remarks during the broadcast of a Panther game. Johnson was allowed to return to his duties after apologizing to a player and the coach of an opposing team."

If AD Braun had any sense, she would have ended the statement at "are unwarranted and unfair." But she's petty enough to get a last dig in. She had a golden chance to take the high road, and turned it down flat. She had now demonstrated her unfitness to hold the job she has in no uncertain terms. |

The thing is, I thought the comment that got him suspended was about some player's weight, I didn't think it had to do with race.
