SDHornet said:Good points. My theory on the Katz extension is Wanless just doesn't want to bother finding a new coach until the event center is up. If all stays on schedule, Katz gets 2 seasons in the new digs as a kick back/reward for getting the off the court issues together (regardless of the high roster turnover and poor on the court product) and maybe another extension if he can utilize the new facilities to bring in better recruits and get this program competitive with the top of the BSC.The Green Hornet said:I don't think it's all about wins and losses regarding the Administration keeping Sperbeck and, for that matter, Katz. I think one of the big reasons these two coaches are getting the benefit of the doubt is because they've successfully kept the Academic Progress Rates and Graduation Success Rates up and thus, Sac State out of being embarrassed again in the media for low academic scores by its student-athletes, which occurred before they got hired. Since Sac State isn't a sports mecca and a winning tradition has never been established, there isn't alumni/community pressure to field top tier teams, therefore, the Admin can live with .500 teams; that's what I think.
I wouldn't say the past two year's Katz's programs are a poor on the court product. You obviously were not around during the disastrous Abatemarco and Newman years. THAT was a poor on the court product!
Be that as it may, I thought I remember that Sperbeck has two more years or something like that. I was talking to with some of the parents yesterday and they said that he has a couple of more years. So there better be changes to the defensive staff!
