Sounds like it was amicable. I wish him well like all Alumni.

We have Stan Johnson now and he delivered Markus Howard and Beetle Bailey. So I am happy with our current assistant coaching group.

The guy who stayed behind at Marquette so that someone could legally stay in contact with Buzz's freshman recruits until they were given releases, then landed at VT later?  Me?  Not so much.

Is this true? I don't think he stayed at MU any longer than any other assistant. I thought he wasn't officially named a VPI coach until the last minute so he didn't have any recruiting restrictions.

Chew was hired by VT in mid-April of 2014 (Buzz was hired in mid-March).  Is it conceivable that Chew was unofficially steering the Marquette recruiting class (Cohen, Pierce, Shayok, Hill, Noskowiak) to VT?  It's possible, but at the end of the day, would we have wanted players that did not fit the culture and system of the new head coach (eventually Wojo)?  Also, would it be fair to the kids who signed up to play for Buzz, Autry, Wainwight, Chew and McNeily to play for a completely new staff (and probably wanted their "own" guys)? 

In the end, everything worked out for the best for everyone. 

The most important recollection I have from that ordeal is that Jerry Wainwright, knowing full well he would not be retained by the new staff, chose to stay behind for our current kids and ensure that they would have someone to lean on for support and guidance during these uncertain times.  Coach Wainwright - class act. 

Interesting move for Chew.  He worked for Kennedy at Murray State a few years back, so there's familiarity there.  Coach Chew has never stayed at one school for longer than three years.

At least the Bronze Beast's Boys had the decency to join the Tanned One immediately. I recall hearing that they were seen at Mitchell Field that week in IU duds.

Chew stayed behind to strip meat off the carcass while collecting paychecks from Marquette. F#ck that guy. I mean, really.

Chew on this. I always thought of him as only being loyal to Buzz, not MU. I thought he was working against us pocketing some nice coin after Buzz left..

Precisely. He was making >$400M by Marquette while working against the University.

Who were the guys that hadn't officially said they were going with Buzz to VT, but were caught trying to sneak the recruiting binders out of The Al?  Didn't Bill Cords have to tell them to GTFO?

I'm not sure we've seen a more overrated (and very overpaid) recruiter. Stan has been miles better.

He's got a system, though. Stay two years, don't deliver, cash them checks, and move on.

Excuse me?

Where have you been the past three years?

Everything DID NOT work out well for everyone. I hope the Hillbilly and all the a-holes that followed him to Jed Clampett country rot in a very warm place and build a close relationship with Satan.

They deserve it.

Unlike others, I'm assuming that you knew that keefe meant more than $400,000 and realize that that is a very large amount for an assistant (I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would be in the top 50% for head coaches at the time).  For Buzz to make the offer, I believe that BOT approval had to be obtained.

This isn't a true statement. Buzz Williams left on 3/21. On March 26, Isaac Chew and Brad Autry left the team so they stopped receiving a pay check from MU. Chew was not named an assistant for VT until April 25th. By not being named an assistant he was able to communicate with previously committed players.

His loyalty lasted until he stopped receiving that $400k+ check or only 5 days prior.  You might not like what he did but he wasn't taking a pay check from MU during the one month gap.

For those who are counting.
M = 1,000
MM = 1,000,000 or thousand thousands.

I didn't think I'd have to explain myself, but yes. My use of sarcasm must need some improvement.
