What kind of program did ...Yes, it absolutely will. What kind of program did we have before McLaughlin? Yup, that's where we'll be. UW is NOT a destination university for elite athletes. We often produce elite athletes, generally from 3 or 4 star players coming out of high school. Occasionally, we have a coach with a high enough profile to attract them, but that only goes so far. Sorry.... look no further than the B-ball program after McGuff left to see what kind of difference these guys make on the recruiting scene. At this point, if I'm a 4-star player on the west coast, UW is off my list and Stanford or UCLA are in my sights.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648050381369703970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-18114319051608803102015-01-14T18:19:01.614-08:002015-01-14T18:19:01.614-08:00AAHuskies endodontisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289516972557958871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-23016741098370107192015-01-14T13:12:17.574-08:002015-01-14T13:12:17.574-08:00Feel free, Anonymous, to contact us directly if yo...Feel free, Anonymous, to contact us directly if you can share additional information.Jack Hamann | Leslie Hamann, nolittlethings.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046749486153187281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-62619061579486142592015-01-14T13:00:44.701-08:002015-01-14T13:00:44.701-08:00As previously stated, salary and lack of support w...As previously stated, salary and lack of support were not the reasons.

If you consider that Jim's last reported salary was $275K and Mike Neighbor's, the women's BB coach, reported initial 2013 salary was $350K with $20K/year raise, you could get a perception of Jim not being appreciated. Maybe the AD adjusted Jim's 2014 salary to equal that of the BB coach. It get's even worst when you consider the salaries the football assistants are getting. If you aware of the Dawgman fall interview with Jim, you can see that one of the reasons he got into women's VB was compensation. Hopefully this is one of the real driving issues and Scott has come up with another $100-150K and $50-$75K for assistants. That cost would be cheap considering the total AD budget and the cost to the program to find and hire another quality coach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-29457436532394733152015-01-13T22:49:45.862-08:002015-01-13T22:49:45.862-08:00BBAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204459568007749233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-47682391008724832022015-01-13T20:17:47.576-08:002015-01-13T20:17:47.576-08:00B!B!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-74156435388561056982015-01-13T19:54:25.747-08:002015-01-13T19:54:25.747-08:00B!B!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-22318610235199193722015-01-13T15:29:17.554-08:002015-01-13T15:29:17.554-08:00Volleyblog Readers - What is your realistic prefer...Volleyblog Readers - What is your realistic preference for the next coach? <br />A) A head coach who has been successful at a mid major school (ie: BYU); <br />B) Promote Keegan and keep Tui for the stability of the program and reduce chance of player transfers;<br />C) Something else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422132707303068153.post-24624049136418113282015-01-13T14:30:12.766-08:002015-01-13T14:30:12.766-08:00I'm da "Anonymous" 2:43 PM

Since she graduated in 2001, I would assume that she knows Jim's and Jim's wife. The fact that the daughter is a division 1 recruit just means she could go anywhere. <br />Everything seems to have gone quiet.

She has had opportunities in the past and declined those. A better option would be to promote Keegan and keep Tui as Associate Head Coach. The team was very good before he came to UW, noticeably better after his arrival. Most importantly, the players really work well him and he won't leave for a very long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
