Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

You're looking into this too much... It could just as easily be a sign that KG knows Jake isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

So, you agree?

Haha, sorry... I misread your post. Never Mind!

Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

How long has coach Green been at UNI, I believe that he is still a hold over from the McD era?

He coached here when Mac first got here, then went to Marquette and worked under Crean before getting a D-II head coaching gig in Illinois. He came back onto the staff when Jake was hired as head coach.

I have no problem with Kyle, or any of the assistants, looking for upward movement. Yes, it hurts to break up the staff we have, but what does it say about us when other schools are looking to not only try and lure our head coach but our assistants as well?

The bigger long-term problem is that Kyle is our recruiting coordinator and has helped bring in some strong players the last few years. Plus, if he goes to GB-there is another Koch brother up there that's a few years away.

And-we need to make sure we get an offer out to his son AJ as soon as possible, too.

I need to get into this coaching buisness

It's a pretty good racket. Not many professions where you can see your pay go up 2-5 times every few years if you perform.

Most of us spend our careers just hoping to keep up with inflation.

It's also one of the few jobs where you can make about 10 center per hour legally.


The salaries look nice, but take that salary and how many hours they study film, travel, recruit, practice, games, etc... and see what they make per hour.

I have an uncle that is a HS basketball coach in the state of Iowa. They don't get paid much at all, and if you are in coaching for the money you are there for the wrong reason (but I digress). If you take his coaching salary plus teaching salary and figure how many hours he spends working compared to his salary he makes about $1.04 an hour. Even less if you go just by basketball hours and salary. That is for high school where your only "true" hours are practice, games, travel and things like that.

Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

I heard an interview with Dannen (maybe on OPR? All the stuff from the past couple weeks seems to run together), and he said Jacobson wanted to make sure his assistants were taken care of as part of his new contract discussions. I'm assuming that meant a raise for them, but I'm not sure how much.

Yes he did talk about increases for the staff as well. Don't know the specifics but it wouldn't get him to the base at UWGB though. Kyle would be a big loss but it would be interesting to see who Jake would replace him with.

I hear a coach of the year from a few years back is out of work?

You might be joking but the kid is a player, he is going to be a good one.

Is he the 4 ft tall kid draining rain makers non stop during pregame?

He is the older of the two blonde haired ball boys, the younger one is pretty good too, but yes AJ puts on shows for the crowd during pregame.

Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

First, this is the link to the Press-Gazette photos they posted on their website when they did their story about Adam and Jake.

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=U0&Dato=20100325&Kategori=GPG0201&Lopenr=3250804&Ref=PH

The Press-Gazette gave UNI a lot of coverage during the NCAA Tournament probably about as much as some Iowa newspapers.

Before people become concerned about this, according to the Press-Gazette through today both Bo Ryan and Barry Alvarez have contacted UWGB in support of a Badger Assistant Coach, Greg Gard. I originally would have assumed that UWGB Interim Coach Brian Wardle who is the choice of the outgoing coach, current players, and incoming recruits would be the choice and still might be but at this point you have to assume it will end up being Gard or Wardle.

First off you're just exaggerating your case to the point of nonsense. There aren't enough hours in a day to make a seven figure salary not that much on a per hour basis. Second we weren't talking about high school coaches. By your reasoning Brad Pitt doesn't make much at $20 million a film because I know some people in community theater who get paid nothing.

Almost all professions put in lots of unpaid overtime.

2-5 times is probably a stretch, but knee jerk reactions are also one of the thorns in the coaching profession. Great coaches can have a few mediocre years and be fired. Most high risk/high reward professions are extremely competitive and stressful.

Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

This would be very painful. I believe he coaches the bigs. And our bigs need a lot of development this summer. Having to start over now would be very troubling for us.

Re: Kyle Green interested in UWGB opening

They hired their assistant coach.
