You guys realize, this opens the door for Lottich to come on as an assistant coach. Excellent recruiter, and charismatic guy. He would definitely be an excellent choice to replace Marcus, and would be my choice, if I had one here. I am a little surprised he has not found a head coaching gig elsewhere.

I thought he did a decent job considering the situation he was in up there. Trying to compete in the MVC without MVC resources. I don't want to rag on Valpo, but there is nothing there (facilities, fanbase, community resources, administration) that is on the level of the MVC. The sad thing is one of the votes that got them in over Murray was Loyola. It took 8 of the 10. Once the Loyola vote was replaced by Belmont, they sailed right in.

Obviously we don’t know what his contract looked like, but I think it is pretty well industry standard for your buyout to be reduced by your new annual salary if you get a new coaching job within the timeframe of your remaining contract years. That’s why a lot of coaches will sit out a year or two after being fired. So I guess money wouldn’t really be a motivating factor either way right now, and it comes down to if he really is dying to continue coaching as an assistant. I’m guessing he will take the time off like a lot of coaches do though. Would definitely be an incredible addition to the staff if Ragland can convince him to come on board though

Would Lottich be willing to be the 2nd assistant coach on a staff led by his former assistant coach? Would Ragland be willing and able to be Lottich's boss?

Marcus is a class act, but I have never seen him as the one to rescue and restore the program. Ragland was the better choice and Snow isn't far behind. UE only hires from the Evansville/IU family tree, so Ragland was plucked from a tiny pool. Snow will be the next head coach and Hollinder after that. Marcus doesn't have enough fire in his belly to be more than another Lickliter. That said, following John Bol as far as verticality will take him is as family and as classy as it gets. John Bol struck gold when he found Marcus Wilson. John Bol needs him more than we do.

Very bad timing. I’m guessing his days as an assistant aren’t over. I’ve got a top 7 list of most likely next destinations

So I guess you are counting the seven colleges as options but not the Overtime Elite league (OTE). Not even sure what that is. Is that one of those semi-pro teams/league where they make a little money before they go big time? Update: Overtime Elite is a professional basketball league for 16–20-year-olds, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The league is owned and operated by Overtime and was founded by Dan Porter and Zack Weiner.

Yeah I was excluding overtime elite. I don’t think they hire family members like NCAA teams are known for, but I guess it could still be a possibility.

I hope Roosevelt takes Marcus position and gets on the recruiting trail.I dont believe his knowledge of the game is as good as Marcus is.

Moving up from director of player development to director of operations is a natural progression to being an assistant coach and more than likely is necessary for Roosevelt to become an effective assistant coach. I suspect that he is already involved in recruiting.
