Taylor to get head coaching position at Belmont Abbey according to Hoopdirt.com:
"Iowa director of basketball operations Billy Taylor will be named as the next head coach at DII Belmont Abbey (NC). He will replace Martin Unger who resigned back on March 22nd.
Before joining Fran McCaffery’s staff four seasons ago, Taylor was the head coach at Ball State (2007-13) and Lehigh (2002-07). Before taking over at Lehigh, Taylor was the top assistant for three seasons at UNC-Greensboro under McCaffrey from 1999-02. In 11-seasons as a DI head coach, Taylor compiled a 165-168 record.
More on this when it becomes official."

I wish him all the luck in the world. Don't you think he took a big pay cut to take this job?

Belmont Abbey is a Benedictine monastery just a few miles from me. A very tiny school. Their budget can't be much. I think the men's VB team played here a couple of years back. I wish him well.

Wow, anything to be HC again. He was also a finalist at Dartmouth. Hope he does well.

I heard it's tough watching the Abbey play a fast breaking style of basketball in those brown, wool robes and leather mandels........

He avoided any of that danger of hurting yourself by running, as calhoun points out. And the offense was one based on more than a few Hail Mary's as the clock runs down. Quiet meditation was featured on the bench during games and time outs were often prayer sessions.
