Well the good news is that TC is under contract for a good long time and was recognized for a fabulous coaching job he did this year. He'll be here as long as he wants to and he says he wants to be here. So I guess I'm in the camp with Super. What's prompting all the speculation that he might leave at some point? The admin. publicly announced a plan to upgrade the facilities. If we all want TC to stay and the program to grow we need to support the plan. Can't just rely on a couple of well heeled alums to bail us out all the time. We need to put some skin in the game. Personally it sounds to me based on what TC himself has said that he's pretty content here at Iona. Maybe we can't believe our good fortune. Meanwhile we have the MAAC tourney starting tomorrow. Let's go!!!
Two more things have to happen--I believe-- the college needs to provide some additional $$ for the program, and the operating budget for the program should not require a contribution from Goal Club fund-raising. (Both of those may be the same thing!)
Every team at Iona has to contribute to the goal club. All money donated to a team goes straight to the goal club until their $$ amount has been fulfilled. Then any money received via donation/fundraiser after that finally goes to the team.
