I'm just recalling all of the crap Bubb caught for hiring a Junior College coach that had done 'pretty well' in the past. You know the one that just made it into the Junior College hall of fame. And yet Tingey just hired someone from the highschool ranks and no one has said anything except for "great hire". (right about now I'm thinking none of you care about volleyball....
& I hear those tiny voices in your heads saying "and you would be right") But seriously, don't take this the wrong way because I'm not trying to slam Mr. Teichert or anything like that.
I'm just saying:
1. this is a very risky first hire for someone who may become ISU's next AD.
2. i do think Mr. Teichert will have a lot to learn about the conference, recruiting, rules, etc., etc. Guess I already disagree with something he said... "Volleyball is Volleyball." To me "Basketball isn't Basketball", "Hockey isn't Hockey", & unfortunately I'm sure Volleyball isn't just Volleyball across all levels.
3. i think Tingey has to be more careful. For instance: If you were a qualified coach that had met the minimum qualifications w/3-5 years of NCAA experience and you were black, asian, indian, of any other race than white, female, of another religion, etc.. etc.. I think you might be a little pissed... don't you? Wouldn't you? -I'm not sure about Athletics, but usually you would have to repost the job when changing the minimum qualifications.- How many great coaches across the country didn't apply because they didn't meet those minumum requirements. And I'm merely saying that yes in this day and time people/businesses/institutions have been sued for less.
