Heath's record is pretty mixed. And outside of the one great year at Kent with the Gary Waters-built stacked team, Heath's record is really not that impressive. As usual, his fate will probably be dictated by the enthusiasm and energy with which he conducts recruiting. If I was an EMU fan, I would be concerned that he might have reached a point in life where his enthusiasm and energy for recruiting is quite limited....like another MAC coach we know.

I agree Sherm at this time Heath is a big question mark although probably still better than Murph.

Definitely a higher chance of success than Murphy....who was at pretty much zero.
Probably though, Heath's career average MAC team wins per year will fall from its current level of 30.

Stan's head isn't quite as shiney as Murphy's but it's close. EMU will retain the title of MAC school with the coach with the shiniest head. Obviously something they take pride in.

Maybe Stan will resurrect the career of his old right-hand man, Ronny. That guy knows how to rebuild!

Yeah but at least they are attempting to improve their situation which is more than we can say for BSU.

Given our circumstances I'd take a flyer on Heath over Whitford, that's for sure, but Sherm is right - he's had virtually no success other than piggybacking on Waters roster one year at Kent.

It's not like he was proactively canned early. Eastern MI basketball in this century has been as big of a dud as Ball State basketball. |

Eastern MI basketball in this century has been as big of a dud as Ball State basketball. Generally true, and I thought Murphy was a bad coach, but somehow he still managed to win more MAC tournament games in one post-season than Whitford has won in 8. |
