CS could not care less about whether we buy tickets. He is a non-leader. Keeping DD in position, and replacing him with a DD handpicked successor, is the price he paid to get this job. The cabal like DD, and the mega-powerful D political family likes DD.
Well the women's softball team just conquered Longwood, so there is a chance we can overcome the powerful D.
mufan08: Based on past history, it is definitely wishful thinking! At least I didn’t refer to my source ….
I just don't see him leaving. He signed a new three year deal (if he wanted to do year to year he would have just kept doing those deals) and doubt he wants to walk away from $1.6 million where leadership requires little effort or accountability for men's basketball.
Where would they go?... OAK and Martin could find a spot on another mid-major somewhere, probably Voyles too.
Why would it be next year?
I mean we have a few people on this board and the others that are adamant that it is a year to year and no buy out either, but where are they getting that from?
I am not 100% of course but I thought Spears commented that each year would be an evaluation and no assurance for the next season was made. I thought that was in the HD when it was announced. Maybe not.

….don’t ask me, my recent “done deals” have not panned out…
Guess it's not year to year. You provided the link. I was wrong.Dan's year to year deal was signed after the 2021-2022 season and Spears said they would review after each season and go from there (see link below).
Then, March of last year (2023) Dan signs a 3 year deal after an emergency board meeting (why have an emergency meeting, no one was taking him). ZERO mention that this 3 year deal is on a year to year basis (heck, Dan mentions he's excited to be here for the next three years) and ZERO mention it is reviewed after the completion of the season for Dan to come back the next season (see link below).
D'Antoni receives 3-year contract extension - WV MetroNews
The 75-year-old D'Antoni is sticking around to continue guiding the Herd.
So where are people getting Dan's currently on a year to year basis with no buyout? Need at least one source reference.
just a gut feeling I have. If he doesn't leave on his own on his own terms next year the heat will be unbearable if we have another losing season. I like DD and hope he doesn't make this get ugly but he has two years left on his current contract
Prolly about the same as MH did with Doc after 2016 - carry on. LOL!
I have the same hope, grew watching Danny play for the Herd....but the current situation is horrible and I can't see a man in his last 70's even having the capacity to change. We need a younger coach in tune with the modern world of college basketball. I, like Danny, hate all the transfer and NIL money being throw around but that's the status quo in today's college hoops. To deny that is to finish at the bottom of a bad Sun Belt conference.
Maybe someone should remind him of that. That alone may cause him to retire.
That would be me who set the over/under. The team hasn't been over .500 since the first game of the season. Something has to give.
That was the original deal. A new deal was put together last Spring. Not sure if a buyout or not. This has been discussed on here repeatedly. I don't know why a new 3 year deal was done.

Again, there is no buyout. It's not a three year deal.That was the original deal. A new deal was put together last Spring. Not sure if a buyout or not. This has been discussed on here repeatedly. I don't know why a new 3 year deal was done.
Marshall basketball coach Dan D'Antoni gets contract extension
Marshall men's basketball coach Dan D'Antoni, whose contract was set to expire this summer, will return to the bench with the Thundering Herd for at least one more
D'Antoni receives 3-year contract extension - WV MetroNews
The 75-year-old D'Antoni is sticking around to continue guiding the Herd.
Cant get there this year, but if he comes back next year it will be a lock.
We can only hope is deep down he is a true "son of Marshall" and steps away from a situation that is clearly above his pay grade. It's a entirely different world than Danny remembers. and is used to.
