becoming less a fan of SMitheran
but isn't his job to report to Apel (the bean counter)
I mean that is his boss
Apel seems to escape any sort of ownership or responsibility for what is occuring
this messed up set-up Jane set to wash her hands from Athletics is horrific
they all 3 should resign for what is unfolding Previous Message
Is a good fit for Hawaii. We had been picked 1st this year and actually slipped behind teams we used to consistently defeat in the Big West. I'm not going to trash them as I will leave that to Jr. On the other board. Frankly though recruiting has been less than stellar the last few years. A coaching change here would not be horrible except I have no faith in Mr Smitheran to make a decent hire. His loyalty is clearly to the bean counter guy and not the coaches or student athletes.

If the goal for the last 5 years has been to turn Long Beach State into Cal State LA, have to saying the admin is doing a fantastic job at that Previous Message
Not a good sign at all. It's almost like the athletic department is self destructing by letting their best coaches leave or driving them out. By doing so lowering the bar which will result in less funding with lowered expectations. I never thought much of the BW Commissioner Cups but now LBSU, once the leader, will be hard pressed to get back to the top. Previous Message
it does make one wonder if Smitheran is lost in a paradigm and became overly invested in MBB when he came. the Hilt letter makes one speculate to that effect.
granted MBB is important, just anybody that delves into Long Beach State to any depth would have realized the strength has been broad based success in Olympic Sports, and MBB was somewhat 'gravy' when they did succeed. Previous Message
Associate Head Coach, Panita Thanatharn, was just hired to be Hawaii's new head softball coach. Unbelievable...she's been a long time assistant to Coach Sowder and assumed to be the heir apparent. I'm assuming Bobby's probably hiring another inexperienced Aztec assistant to take over. What a clown...
