uwmfreak.proboards.com/thread/6779/jordan-johnson?page=2It's been posted days ago.  I'm surprised to see him go. To sit one year, to play one at UNLV which is also rebuilding. You might want to go to the recruitment side to see all the commitments for LaVall Jordan and company to stay up to date.

How many UNLV fans were confused reading this sentence? 'We gotta run the floor, Jeter's offenses suck!' With or without the benefit of hindsight, those of you who think everything that happened in spring 2016 was worth it to move up transition by one calendar year don't know the first thing about building a program. And neither does that hack in the AD's office. My favorite comment on the story:  Hope you're all having a good summer! |

“I had to do some convincing on this end that he could play for us at UNLV at this level,” Jeter says. “Coming from Milwaukee is a little bit of a jump up."
This quote from Jeter reminds me of one of the things that bothered me about him at the very onset of his Milwaukee head coaching career. I remember a radio interview leading up to that first season in which he was asked about a certain new recruit. Jeter said the recruit was good for Milwaukee's level. There he was, only mere weeks into his head coaching career, setting a relatively low ceiling for the program. Keep in mind at that time Milwaukee was coming off of a Sweet Sixteen appearance and the program was loaded with top-notch veteran returnees. Jeter's comment that first pre-season was especially jarring after four years of Pearl, who had set the ceiling somewhat close to infinity.
Having stated that, it will be fun to watch UNLV play this season.

Know it caused a ton of issues the way it was handled and the timing, but for so many reasons he was not the right fit here. I picked up on this early as well. Kind of an odd quirky, stiff guy with a degree of aloofness and arrogance. (or chip on the shoulder). Had a lot of good points as well. Ethical, determined...if he is truly such a fabulous coach maybe we will start to see his name in head coaching rumors again...then again perhaps not. He is probably at the right job and he also can know he is in a whole other league much higher than UWM. (not a high major like Wisconsin or UNLV)...

An additional comment....say what you will about Bruce he got his guys to play so far beyond with reckless abandon...nothing limiting .....always felt a sort of Debbie downer side with Jeter - like somehow the crown rested uncomfortably... like I said above...he is at the right job level now...just hope we can play UNLV at some point and show them what UWM basketball is capable beyond its "defined level" or a "bit of a step up" as he put it

All Jeter has to do is to show tape from the Bucky game and Jordy will do fine.

Posts of utterly subjective impressions of why Jeter was not right for the program -- two coaches later -- remind me of nothing so much as Orange Julius Caesar's pathetic and transparent attempts to keep insulting and campaigning against Hillary in order to distract everyone from the raging fires all around him. The bottom line on Downer Avenue today is that John Wooden wouldn't have a chance working for this bunch.
And I don't care what people thought of his coaching (and at this point it obviously doesn't matter). We should be so lucky to ever have another coach who recruits talent as good as Jeter and his staff recruited (think, e.g., Jordy Johnson, Akeem Springs, Matt Tiby, Austin Arians, Kyle Kelm, James Eayrs, Ricky Franklin, Anthony Hill, Brock Stull, Tony Meier, etc., etc.) without crossing the line into sleazeball tactics. The chances that Baldwin can do it hover near zero given the circumstances.

Haha, we are now comparing Jeter with HILARY F'ing CLINTON! Isn't that tabo on the boards.

Kind of ironic. Yours truly is about as anti Trump as one could be. I think the recruiting success cited above is a bit over rated frankly . Certainly not trying to deflect due to being supporter of Mone and Braun. Quite the contrary. I wish both Braun and Jeter would have gone. I even if given a Sophie's choice would rather have Jeter here and Braun gone if it came to that. The thing is ...it is what it is...still glad Jeter gone...history will tell. I think it is possible to regain success with the right coach, recruiter and promoter combined albeit not easy with administration in place and budgetary limitations. I do not think it is a given that all is doom and gloom and nothing will succeed. It that is the case why even keep posting?

Maybe in about 2030 people will stop talking about Rob Jeter on this board.

I do not think it is a given that all is doom and gloom and nothing will succeed. It that is the case why even keep posting? Anti-Trump isn't the point, Steve. Anti-incompetence and duplicity is the point. Der Groppenfuhrer is just the obvious topical example. Nothing can be built on a corrupt foundation. Back when Coach Jeter was here I often importuned the amateur coaches on the board to beware the consequences of what they demanded. It seems so easy in theory: fire a loyal, ethical but (according to some) only moderately successful coach, and bring in a replacement. Bingo! It's like Bruce never left! As if it were so simple. And then, try to do it with the cast of characters "running" things on Downer Avenue. There is absolutely no reason to believe Baldwin has or will ever have the coaching or recruiting chops of Rob Jeter. And no reason to believe he won't. The last guy was only here long enough to lose 20+ games, so we have no idea about him either. That's the point. In a best case scenario a program at our level is taking a terrible chance trading a coach who has won multiple championships and recruited great players for an unknown. And with our administration we are so far from the best case scenario that it's in a different time zone. Does anyone here (other than the department trolls) actually believe our AD has any long term commitment to support the men's basketball program? What in God's name would lead any rational person to believe that? Nothing can be built on a corrupt foundation. |
