       The A-10 is a more prestigious conference than the AE. Our
       coaches are going to keep getting poached until we're in a
       conference that's of a high enough caliber. I haven't looked at
       the conference rankings this year, but the AE is usually in the
       low 20's as far as conference strength while the A10 is
       consistently a top 8 or 9 conference with few exceptions.

       I know last year was a down year for them when they only had two
       teams make the tourney, but I didn’t think they’d be back to top
       so fast. Dayton is a force.

       more of a friend than a coach. So I can totally envision how,
       after starting 17-3, they were all taking it easy.

       I think they both have/had players' respect.  No idea on your
       conjecture, but I think Ford is much more gregarious than Boals,
       and he's been through the rodeo many times before and knows how
       to be a head coach, whereas Boals had to learn on the job at
       SBU.  I like Geno's rotations, play calling and demeanor, and I
       just don't want SBU to be a launching pad for another coaching
       jump come the end of this year.

       I'm actually not too worried about this. Ford left Kent State
       for the wrong job at Bradley and stalled his very bright career
       for five years. I think he's going to be very selective in
       taking another job. I think we'll have him for awhile.

       Until the next school comes calling. Unfortunately,  SBU is a
       launching pad for coaches. The only way to stop this pattern is
       to move out of this dreadful conference and I to something more
       respectful
