Did you guys get rid of Jack yet? He honestly seems like a cancer on your program.
Nope. Murphy's still in Flagstaff. I don't live in Flagstaff and only catch a handful of games each year but I follow the team. I don't see him as a cancer. He's not exactly "warm and fuzzy" on the sidelines during the game but neither is DeCuire. I actually see a lot of similarities in personality between the two. But I don't have a burr in my saddle over the NAU-UM conference tourney post game brouhaha in Missoula anymore.
NAU's problem was bringing in something like 6-8 players from a Florida AAU team a few years back as their recruiting class. They put all their eggs in that one basket but only one player remains from that group as a senior. The rest dropped out, washed our, never saw the court or got in some sort of trouble.
Murphy's recruiting brought about one of NAU's best seasons ever with their run to the CIT championship game. The 2-3 seasons before that had NAU competitive as well. He can motivate and he he can win.
PS - I may throw give you Griz some love and scoot down to Tucson for the UA-UM game in December. UA hoops is a bit of a mess but they're not decimated like some people expected. It'll be a hard game for the Griz but I hope they can compete.
