Poor Kentucky Wesleyan in the GLV...after a frustrating decade of basketball, the program looked to finally be turning the corner two seasons ago after going to the national tournament and raising its prestige into the B's for the first time in a quarter century. Then along came a new head coach who recruited (?) to a roster of 7 for two consecutive seasons, taking 5 walk-ons each time and going 0-27 both years. It wasn't pretty. Heck, the game film can't be shown in four states due to obscenity laws! Needless to say, the prestige has crashed down to a D. And we're probably not talking a high D either.
Put simply, this is a program that needs help. MAJOR help.
So if you're looking for the ultimate challenge in a rebuild, here's your chance to be a miracle worker, get the gymnasium named after you and be a god among campus alumni. You'll be in a league with 10 active coaches who love the game and will embrace you with open arms. We have comprised Naismith's top D2 conference four of the last five seasons (our streak ended on a loss in the NC game this year, making us No. 2). You'll have an above-average stash of bonus cash to wage war with on the recruiting trail, zero expectations from the administration and, hey, if you win a game, you'll be officially seen as an improvement! By the way, you'll have the chance to bring in five players and immediately start the process of rising from the ashes and wreckage.
And if that sounds like too much work for you, we also have an opening at SIUE, which almost went to the PIT as a Sim this past season and brings back both a junior and senior class that was human-recruited. Three roster openings this year -- there are definitely worse situations to step into (see above, for instance...)
Join us in the GLV -- we'd love to have you!
