arty: And to Wayne sticking in there as well as an assistant waiting for his turn and his degree. You da man Tinks. :thumb:three-year contracts help us in any number of ways--attracting coaches, giving them security, assuring recruits, et. al.--but they mean little when a big-school raiding-party comes after your up-and-coming young coach. then there's only one issue: bucks.
i'd like to see us get an endowment going for the specific purpose of augmenting coaches's salaries. if a coach (read, krysko, tinkle) is so crucial to the success of a program, why not put a small percentage of every donation to the athletic department toward such a fund. we clearly don't have the big-bucks guys to swoop in and enable us to keep a great coach, but i don't see why the "lay-away" plan wouldn't work.
this is especially crucial for basketball. in football, i doubt we'll keep ambitious young coaches, for the reason we don't play 1-a. there are coaches like players who want to play against the best, and we simply won't be able to keep them at montana.
but in basektball, we do go up against the best, and gonzaga is but one of a host of mid-majors (nevada, creighton, hofstra, wisconsin-milwaukee, utah state) who have proved you can compete against the big guys--provided you have the coach. tinkle is a guy with solid montana roots but if proves to be as good a coach as i think he's going to be, it won't be long before those big programs come calling.
will we be ready?

There is a creative way to help keep a great coach. This method was used at Louisville to keep Denny Crum from leaving. The boosters purchase an annuity which vests to the coach if he is still on board after 10 years. I believe that Crum got 5 or 10 million if he stayed there 10 seasons (which he did).
It does not cost that much to buy an annuity which vests in 10 years. UM could buy, say a 2 ,million dollar 10-year veesting annuity for about $250,000. It would not be too difficult to raise that much.

Montana should definitely invest in mens hoops. It is quite
feasible that Griz program could ascend to Gonzaga-like status.
The school is great, the town is great, and playing in the Big Sky
it is acheivable to go to the Big dance every yr which is great for
recruiting. The Griz program needs to be marketed; I think wayne
can get it done. Griz need to promote their markee playrs more.
