If you look @ our time in the MAC since entering league in 1976 we look good. We won 3 outright titles & tied for 2 more before tourney started in 80. We have won 7 tourneys but none since 2000. That still leads conference. Conference went into division play in 1998. We have won division 6 times with 5 being ties. WMU has 9 & Toledo 7 including ties.CMU also 6. EMU & NIU 1 each.
We have had 10 coaches in that time. Whitford's current .464 winning pct. ranks 7th just ahead of Taylor's .459 & just below Brown's .476. Buckley is 5th with .517. None of the other 5 coaches lasted more than 6 years before being fired. Brown won a tourney no one else won more than a division. It is clear to me this coach is on par will the other five fired coaches. He does not win like the other 4 three of whom Majerus, Yoder & McCallum moved up to better paying jobs. Then there was Hunsaker who was fired because of NCAA problems. Also note no coach was here longer than McCallum & it was 7 yrs. We need to bring in another coach now.
If this season doesn't massively turnarounf, I agree, but only issue is I dunno how a 3 year buyout could or would be addressed. My guess is after 19-20 Whitford is let go. As I and others have said, the AD going forward needs to be much more stingy on handing out extensions given they aren't a cash rich athletic department that can buy a coach out no matter the cost.

Keep in mind that the Jokers was actually Muncies premier gentledudes club. Let that sink in. If you were truly slummin there was the Dream Club. You want a hi-jack heres a HI jack.... Back near the end of the dream club we fell into there on graduation eve day and proceeded to rent a couple strippers for graduation festivities. Well we were three sheets to to the wind when we arrived about two-3 oclock. We found a couple girls who said that for 50 dollars and a bottle of Jack they would take care of us. Well we said sure and went on to drink more. We eventually forgot about the girls and went home and drank more.. Around midnight the girls showed up at this point they could have 90 year old grandmas we would not have noticed. We had no money and no jack but we fed them Beer and promised the money would come later. As the night progressed the guys around the house began to pass out. The girls were still there being dream club girls well the story goes that the party lasted till about 6 am when the state reps son and the girls finally passed out together. Well about 8am the state reps family should up to take the graduate out to breakfast. When no one answered the door they came on in and found their son with the hags from the dream club. Well needless to say they were a bit a shocked and there was some yelling.. The girls began to get into the fight as well and their first comment is we are not leaving until we get our 50 dollars. No one knows for sure what happened that night but it has been verified at a wedding years later the Dad did in fact pay the hags 50 dollars for their services.

Only you, Rob. You have lived a life man. Lol We had a good crew back in the BSU college years. We were wild and as crazy as you could be but shockingly the group as whole went on to be some pretty successful and well respected guys. Now all we have are stories and Lore to pass down to future generations... Remind me to tell you the St Louis story some time when we have a slow day on the message board

I'd like to tell my best Jokers story, but even after some Google research, it's not clear whether or not the statute of limitations has expired.

RM if thatâs for real itâs an absolute classic I will say this its based on truth..All of my stories from that time period are tricky because they are all patchy and hazy. They have often been pieced together by our groups individual memories of the night. I can assure you the wedding part and the dad admitting to payment is absolutely true. The details times etc may not be 100% accurate
