Mason Faulkner has been released from NKU
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to DukeDog's topic in College Basketball
Scholarships are one-year renewable, there is zero wrong with helping a kid find more playing time elsewhere. -

Yep. Just like every other SUCCESSFUL coach in the country. -
article The Truth About Sports Scholarships
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
I agree with the sentiment of the article, but in one capacity it is a smidge misleading. There are 6 sports in Division 1 that are either "full ride" or "no ride", no partials. Those six are: Men's Football and Basketball, and Women's Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, and Gymnastics. -
Public School Closures - Teacher Protest
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to afi100guy's topic in Controversial Issues
I believe, and again, not an expert on this, that the capping of sick days towards retirement is a major issue and can ultimately cost teachers thousands per year in retirement and salary. However, I think their biggest point, and rightfully so I'll add, is the optics of attaching a 291 page bill that no one had read, and had had no actuarial review, to the back-end of a sewage bill at the 11th hour. That looks like the opposite of being "represented" by your Representatives. -
And the New Head Coach at Xavier Will Be.....

Things are coming to a head...but I don't want to Steele anyone's thunder. -
Maui Invitational
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to All State Baseball's topic in College Basketball
Just to be clear, by "next year", this is 2019's field, not the one from this coming fall (8 months). -
And the New Head Coach at Xavier Will Be.....
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to UKMustangFan's topic in College Basketball
I certainly didn't mean to imply otherwise, you know how I feel about John. And so does he, for the record. Turned out to be 100% the right choice. On a separate note, back to the point of the thread, I believe Xavier is at a very tenuous point, where a major back-slide is not only possible, but probably likely. -

I think the best way to put this is Travis mis-played his final interview with Ken, John didn't. -
Chris Mack is Louisville's New Coach
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to UKMustangFan's topic in College Basketball
He is definitely taking Pegues and Murray. Rest is up in the air. -

Never hire a guy on April 1st you wouldn't have hired on February 1st. -

Travis Steele (easy hire, continuity, safe hire for Greg Christopher who HAS to get this one right) Pat Kelsey (only way this happens is if Fr. Graham and Bob Kohlhepp jam this down his throat) Tommy Amaker Chris Collins John Brannen would have to have a few others say "no" first. Porter Moser is well liked and well respected around Xavier as he was Majerus' #2 at SLU so many people got to know and like him. That said, this would be a HUGE leap for a guy with a terrible head coaching resume' up until about 3 weeks ago. Ashley Howard, although I doubt very seriously he'd get a sniff. Wojo would crawl from Milwaukee for this gig, but sadly for him, he can't be a candidate -- Xavier and Marquette are very close at the top of each organization. Schmitty at St. Bonaventure would kill a puppy for this job. Not sure he gets a sniff either, but he will try his damndest to get a shot. -

Thanks, I actually thought it was his brother Lance's son, appreciate the clarification. -
AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to redtruck's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Wouldn't make my list either, two separate posts, one pointing out Massie had two rings (which is impressive), one that AJ would be on a very short list for greatest all around CovCath athlete. No, of course not, Massie wouldn't be on that list, but his accomplishment was worth mentioning. -

In the discussion and VERY high on the list. VERY HIGH. -
AJ Mayer - Undefeated Senior Year
MentschTrachtGottLacht replied to redtruck's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Not a star, per se, in either sport, but Ryan Massie has a Soccer State Championship and a Basketball State Championship -- both single-class State Championship sports. Hugely impressive. -
4 Tickets each game -- $76 x 3 games = $228 Parking each game -- $15 x 3 games = $45 Concessions / Ice cream each game -- $30 x 3 games = $90 Over $360 and we didn't attend the opening round game. That is real money, and I wouldn't dream of doing that if my school wasn't it. I don't care how much fun the environment is, how good the ice cream is, or good the basketball is, I'm not dropping $360 over 3 days (not to mention hotel or gas) if I don't have a dog in the fight.

If that is correct, that stat is way over the line of being absurdly good. I mean, historically good if so. AND, couldn't happen to a better, kinder, more mature kid. #Winner
