White I'd be fine with. No thanks on Prohm. He had his chance.

Harper has an impressive resume. He went to 6 straight D2 national championship games. Winning two of them. Then he went to 3 straight NAIA national championship games winning two of those. 9 national championship appearances (winning 4) in a ten year stretch is ridiculous.

Yep. I've known him since his KWC days. He owned Pearl back then (13-4).

Great coach but I would be surprised if leaves WKU.

Some of you guys act like an emotional woman when people either leave state or choose not to come here. Many of you (probably you) would have chosen not to bring a good coach in Diaz back. And now you want to pass on a good coach just cause he said no once. First of all, you never know his situation and why he said no. Secondly, I'm a state alumni and maybe would have said no then. The program was in awful shape. While Ray has not won much, he has kind of stabilized things.

So Prohm was offered the job and said no? Was he offered the same $1,000,000 per year Rick Ray got?

If so I can't believe it because he made $195,000 at Murray State back then. Up to about $300k now.

Pretty sure we offered Prohm more than $1 mill. How about Brad Underwood the HC at Stephen F. Austin.

I will be surprised if we fire Ray at the end of the year. I would love to be wrong though

Ray gets another year...period

I have no inside knowledge but I'd be shocked if any decision has been made. If we only win a game or 2 the rest of the year I'd be shocked to see him back. I think Schaefer is making a good case that a basketball program can be turned around in year 3.

Ray will be back another year.
