If Bama and Dayton both win their first games, CAJ will face Anthony Grant (coaching Dayton) in the second round.

There will be at least one sign in Coleman asking Grant to return. I won't be holding it, but there's sure to be some smartie out there who will do it.

Also Xavier, Memphis, Creighton, Wichita State, Arkansas, Providence, NC State...It's going to be a tough tournament.
Whoever wins will deserve a trophy.

Unlike Marshall Dillion, I am glad that we are in the NIT. I think we have the potential to go further in the NIT than we would in the NCAA tourney. More games = more practice/experience which can only help in the long run...

That would be a disaster for CAJ. NC State had a sellout for their NIT game.

I think a lot of people feel that way. The team had many problems, but the most glaring is that the ball handling was atrocious. They ere a run-away turnover machine. You can't win with that.

The fish stinks from the head down. Time to change the head! Sad to have to say that but three years with basically the same results is enough info to make a judgment about what the future will be like.
The only arguments I can think of for keeping CAJ around another year are [1] the size of the buyout and [2] that he seems (so far) to be running a 'clean' program. With the FBI investigation ongoing that could be worth hanging onto for another year. However, if there is a strong candidate out there who also has run a clean program and has given indication that he WANTS to come to Bama, then I say you gotta grab that guy while you can. We'll see.
