Naismith GLV (D2) wants YOU! Topic

Naismith Division 2’s top conference in 8 of the last 9 seasons has ONE opening:

S. Indiana -- After seven seasons, the head coach of this program has left. S. Indy was 6-21 this past season but enjoyed a nice run of postseason appearances not that long ago. The new head coach will have 6 scholarships to fill, so you can put your immediate mark on the program, which is currently set for fastbreak on offense and zone/press on defense. With six schollies though, you could make those pretty much whatever you want starting in year 1. Prestige is C-. 

SIU, Edwardsville — This program would be an outstanding choice for someone wanting immediate success at the D2 level. It has three scholarship openings, back-to-back 20-win seasons and an A- prestige. The class rotations are fairly balanced to allow for long-term success. Former coach ran motion with a zone/press hybrid. I honestly can't imagine there are too many better openings at the D2 level this off-season, but I might be biased...

Kentucky Wesleyan — The red-headed stepchild of the GLV...we tried to give this program away a couple seasons ago when the former human owner ghost-shipped it in back-to-back years but found no takers. Simmy has coached it back to a C- prestige this year and a 13-14 record, so it’s a better offer this time around. There’s four scholarships open and, while there’s still work to be done, at least you’re not starting from the absolute basement of D2 now. Team runs a motion/man set currently.

We sent 8 teams to the post-season this past year, including the national champion St. Joseph’s (IN) program under bhansalid00’s leadership. All said, there’s roughly $7,500  in extra recruiting cash for you to play with upon arrival. All 10 of the human coaches in the league have been with us at least 3 seasons and many have been around much longer than that. We’re a fun group. Come join us and help us fill this league!

Just to piggyback on what rednu said, I've been in Naismith GLV for 10 seasons now, and it's easily the best conf I've even been in. A ton of successful coaches and a really supportive, friendly forum. And of course, more recruiting cash than anywhere else in Naismith D2. I doubt I would've won the NT this past season without being in the GLV.

Don't miss this chance to get an A- program in a top conference. Or, if you love rebuilds, why not take on KW and get over $27K in recruiting money to start with? Hope to see you soon.

Two teams right in the middle of the BEST Conference in D2. SIU Edwardsville is a team that can win now, and KW is one that with the right coach could be a tough team to battle against. So if you think you would like to move up to a really great conference, then pick up one of these teams. We also have 10 of the most entertaining bunch of guys to joke around with. I have been at Wisconsin Parkside for 6 seasons and has been the most enjoyable time I have had in any of the conferences I have been in. Oh yeah, rednu is a nut, lol. Bunch of great people.

Bumping this back to the top -- the two original vacancies have been filled (thanks guys!), but we did have a seven-year coach decide to move on, so I've posted the new job vacancy in the lead post. S. Indiana, six open scholarships. Any takers?
