And the sky is still not falling.  In fact, it is an opportunity.  An opportunity to reload on a coach.  In my opinion (simply my opinion) a mid-major (Ohio) is best served by a coach that is electric, passionate, takes up the oxygen in a room.  Groce did this.  Nee did this.  When we hired JC we went (for good reason) in another direction.  The attempt for stability at a high level.  It made sense given the team make-up.  And was working.  But it takes two to tango and JC cut out.  So now let's get back to the right DNA for Ohio.  Boals, nice guy, smart, but more of a chemistry teacher than pied piper.  Dustin?  I'll defer to others....especially Schaus.  Tough year or two coming up?  Sure.  But then I wore a basketball on my head at games until January of my sophomore year until Nee got his first win.  Two years later he was handing me a commemorative mug celebrating an NCAA Dance season.  And you know what?  It'll be fun, because we all like the journey as much as we like the win.  That is one of the reasons this past year's team was so embraced - they fought to the end.  And next year, when Stevie, Setty, hopefully Ric and whomever else are out there, you can be sure SBH, Love and others will be in their black seats and the O-Zone will have the teams' back.  The sky is not falling,  The sky is the limit at Ohio.  And every potential candidate know that.  Back to Top Bobcat Love's Sense of Shame General User Member Since: 7/30/2010 Post Count: 4,079 Status: Offline     RE: And so now we move forward    Posted: 4/3/2014 7:40:47 PM  Mo is a nice player and seems like a great guy, but I highly doubt there's about to be a line of coaches begging a guy with one year of eligibility and back problems to take one of their scholarships.  Back to Top Doc Bobcat General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 4,281 Status: Offline     RE: And so now we move forward    Posted: 4/3/2014 7:43:57 PM  cc cat wrote: Been an interesting 72 hours.  Did not see this coming a week ago.  That said, the sky is not falling.  Not even from a Bobcat basketball perspective.  JC is gone.  We'll be fine.  Owens is not going to come here.  As someone else mentioned, he has Three Men and a Truck on speed dial.  So be it.  Other dominoes to fall.  They usually do in this case.  And my bet is that Mo does not return.  I can't think of a compelling reason for him to.  Why spend his last year of eligibility learning a new system.  His best basketball move is to transfer (to BC or another major program), sit out the year (which he probably needs to get enough credits to graduate and to beef up) and then use a year of play in the ACC (e.g.,)  to audition for scouts.  He is used to being a nomad, so change of scenery is not uncomfortable for him.   So after drooling over the prospect of Mo and Owens being on the court at the same tie, my bet is we have neither next year.

The only reason to leave before a new coach is hired is a gut reaction because you feel scorned. I know these are kids, but Good God, even when I was 18 I didn't make decisions this impetuously.

The parallel would be for him to redshirt at Ohio next year while bulking up and learning a new system.   Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 11  of 11 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 282 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 280 Guests 2 Registered Users:   Jonesy1017, shabamon There are no other users looking at this page.
