While we have netted 1 here or there the article points out that FIVE former NBA players have kids playing for the anteaters. And you could argue that this makes a decent amount of sense.parentswerebears said:

I didn't read it yet and don't disagree with you, but I am feeling snarky this morning.
Didn't the last two coaches here net former NBA player's kids? That really doesn't mean anything.
Do you have this on fact? You can PM me. Because essentially your argument is that he is a UCI lifer.

Sure. Syracuse offers him 4.5mil to take over from Boeheim, but his wife nixes the deal b/c Syracuse doesn't have a med school (Upstate Med is SUNY, I believe). Chances are real good that he accepts before the Syracuse AD puts a period on the sentence.

I don't disagree with anything you said. With all due respect, I was talking about the choice of the word, "catastrophically". I think the use of the word "catastrophic" is quite a stretch. We are talking about a coach who might make millions of dollars coaching kids to play a game of sport, and for whatever reason turns it down. I don't see that as catastrophic, unless we place games and fun far more important in life than most other things that happen. A fire, a flood, a tsumani, hurricane, a tornado, causing tremendous loss of life and property, all are catastrophic. Losing out on a coaching job or making a dumb statement are seldom, if ever catastrophic.Northside91 said:SFCityBear said:It may or may not be a dumb statement, but what is catastrophic about it?

Frankly, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I think it's unreasonable to suggest that the UCI coach won't accept an offer at a school without a med school (or one with a med school that's unwilling to employ his wife in a leadership role) if that school is proposing to pay him several times what he's making at UCI. I stand corrected if he's said, "Suitors be warned, I won't work for you unless my wife can be head of emergency medicine at the teaching hospital attached to your univeristy, even if you offer me all the money in the world. She's the family breadwinner after all."

Not to belabor this, but I'm not suggesting that any catastrophe will result from anything this or any coach does or doesn't do, unless they turn to a life of crime.

Net net, im thinking (not a good idea) if we had a med school our hoops and other teams would be better at the margin...grad transfers etc. just some transitional program. So let's sell our other pieces. But I guess we have standards. Do we have a list of all of our grad transfers, or coaching associates and what program they entered? Would be interesting info.

*** makes you think Cal is paying any basketball coach 1.8 million? They likely can't even afford Jones' buyout. And in case you haven't noticed, new hires in this league like Hopkins get far less. But even if your unrealistic salary view was to hold, the wife still probably makes more money currently. So if she takes a huge hit to her salary and you end up in basically with the same family salary, why bother moving the family?Cal8285 said:If you took out "the family breadwinner," people would have a lot easier time buying this.

Make his wife being "the family breadwinner" an issue, and people starting asking, "*** are you talking about, wiaf?" Hire a guy for something close to middle of the PAC salary, and there is no way that his wife is THE family breadwinner. "I only make $1.8M, my wife is the breadwinner of the family, I just have a hobby that makes loose change." Um, right. No. He definitely is A family breadwinner if he takes that job.
It also seems likely that he would become the leading breadwinner if he takes a P6 HC job. I have trouble believing that the head of any ER makes as much as a middle of the PAC MBB HC. The head of an ER SHOULD make more than any college men's basketball coach, should make at double what any college MBB HC makes, but the world doesn't work that way. Not because the head of ER makes too little, but because the MBB HC makes way too much. I don't think anyone around here can believe that family income will drop if Turner moves from UCI to a P6 school paying a competitive P6 salarly and his wife has to take a different job than what she has now. A paycut, maybe, not not enough to offset the pay raise Turner gets. A job she doesn't like nearly as much, so family happiness is reduced? THAT I could believe.
