Details of Dufts new contract are out and as expected they gave 3 years with an early termination clause at any point. Meaning if next season is bad then he is gone. This type of contract proves that they were ready to move on from Duft until Dame threw him a bone. Dame can’t save him twice if next season ends bad again.

The article also confirms my first reporting that Leonard Perry is no longer with the team. I wonder if Olds still thinks my sources are bad

Ugh! Just continuing the trend of low expectations & "just enough" mode the administration has with the men's BB coaching. HC Duft at least is on probation to "walk" his "talk". He will come up with plenty of excuses to thwart any "termination for cause" action, which appears as a subjective matter of opinion on the part of administration. They've already shown their hand plenty during the past several years! Go ahead and prove this fan wrong in expecting 3 more years of lame, unexciting results.

To me, this is merely exercising the option with benefits. Duft is on a very short leash. My worry...the schedule is going to be a complete joke next year. Only DI games should count.

It really isn't about the pre-season. I feel that he and everyone else knows, it's about BSC games and post season games. We have Utah on the schedule as a money game, and a couple of other home games of interest. I'm sure there will be some real dogs as well, there always are. I just want to see substantial improvement in BSC performance. Those are the games that 'count'.

I have zero faith in the administration, AD, bball coach, and football coach. I honestly expect about three more years of a crapfest and then Crompton and Duft to basically retire together and Mental to go back to the Midwest to coach D-II.

There is no leash because there are no expectations or accountability. I used to actually get fired up for Weber State to play in-state basketball games and expected them to compete their asses off and get some wins every now and then. Now I just pray we don’t get our asses handed to us by UVU or Utah Tech because clearly their players care way more about these games. Duft has even basically told fans not to worry about conference games as he will get it figured out for the tournament. This whole apathy, malaise, ennui, is depressing as hell.

Honestly, until Duft, Mental, and Compton are gone and the administration actually cares to aim high, nothing will change. I definitely hope for the scratching and clawing Wildcats of Weber State to return, but settle in for the Mildcats of Ennui-ber State for a while.

Ennui-ber State, Ennui-ber State, meh, meh, meh.
