wingman10 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 When will an announcement be made? There is travel time involved as to when the interviews happen. 5 or 6 days is my estamation. My guess, some where around the 14th. Thanks...this is an important hire. Hopefully, they will get a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I don't know if you have a inside track at TTU, but I know Palmateer has just a good chance as anyone else. Just saying. don't have inside tract at all and I agree Palmateer would be a great hire but my friend that is in position to know believes Cross is the choice, and not everyone that applies will accept the job, some of them want perks that is not available.

jimbo44 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 A base salery of 75k with winning incentive bonuses should be enough to start. Maybe 80k after 2yrs. 82k after 4yrs. Bonus money should be: OVC champion 15k, OVC tourney Champs 10k,and 10k for every win in the NCAA tourney. There should be some TV money there, if they get that attention.

muffin Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The rumored short list:Dean Walsh-Carson-Newman Tony Cross- Belmont Mike Bradbury- Morehead State Allison Clark- MTSU asst. TTU grad Sytia Messer- Ga.Tech associate head coach. This may not be the final list, but it gets people google happy! Thanks to Thomas Corhern for his article in the Herald-Citizen, check Links on here. Is TTU really a better job than Belmont considering everything? And if so, why? Not exactly a stellar group to chose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo44 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not exactly a stellar group to chose from. Those of us who get out of the house every now and then, think this is a very good diverse list of prospects. TTU has a limited budget, so Pat Summitt was out of the question.

jimbo44 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Final three. Mike Bradbury withdrew his name. The interviews were completed Wed. the 12th. Now the selection committee has a hard choice. I hope it is one that continues the TTU winning tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbwatcher Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If the rumor that was just passed to me is true? I will have to think about it for while. Right now, its not like I'm a huge Tech fan, just a casual women's basketball fan but, who was on the selection committee? Let me just remind the Board that Kim Rosamond was my first choice for head coach. I think she was Tech's best shot at keeping the local players home. By local players I mean to include a certain 6'8 post player in the next county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkybfunky Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The 6'8" post........I hear she is going to West End and Jess Neely country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see someone who can keep a certain 6-3 player in the same county, who has never lost to the 6-8 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playforgold Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Heard the rumor today that the press conference is Monday at 9:00 am and new coach is a great hire from what I have been told. It would be nice Jimbo to see both of those girls in the purple and gold and it could be done with the right sales pitch to these ladies. See it now the Twin Towers of the OVC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice Jimbo to see both of those girls in the purple and gold and it could be done with the right sales pitch to these ladies. See it now the Twin Towers of the OVC If your rumor is true about the news conference, the choice has been made. We could check moving company records to see where the activity is. Twin towers would be nice,but both are featherweights and would need a couple of seasons in the weight room to tweek it. Holt, Segn, Christian and others were wide body types, who could clog up the middle and make the shot in a crowd their freshman year.. The 6-3 kid is being coached by Christian. I am seeing some of the same moves that Emily used at TTU.l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playforgold Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yes was told choice had been made and possible assistant choices made also. Its hard to beef up 6'7 anyway she would handle her own in the OVC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
