I think Heath is a pretty good x’s and o’s coach. I say that never have been a coach myself so perhaps I’m not the best authority.

The loss of recruits in recent years is a valid concern. I like your idea of a mentor on the staff but it doesn’t appear that will happen. He and Fred Langley are tight. Maybe they are each other’s mentor but I wouldn’t describe their relationship as mentor/pupil. Heath has a lot of faith in Fred and vice versa, and Fred is listed as the Associate Head Coach.

Burman told me earlier this year he isn’t the kind of AD that tells or insists his coaches on what to do or how to run their programs so I wouldn’t think he would step in and do what you are saying. But no matter what happens, I think we all know things must improve considerably next season for this team or some big-time changes will come.

Thanks Richard, and Happy Easter!

But with the way things are right now in men’s basketball, the worst thing Burman could do is hide Schroyer from these events.
There is a definite distance, if you will, from the fans and the program right now. That was the case before Schroyer was hired and it’s too bad that gap hasn’t been closed.
And more often than not the every-day fan does not attend these Cowboy Joe Club functions, but many do. If Heath is out there he can talk to fans and tell them where he is coming from. Hiding, I think, would just further increase the speculation and bad blood. But you might be right, too.

Either way, you can bet Legerski and Christensen will be at these events.

Good comment! Thanks and Happy Easter.

I get the impression that you feel as I do that Coach Schroyer may be a little over his head. His teams appear to be disorganized and not well prepared. Also, there appears that his recruits don’t seem to mesh with each other. Tom Burman might want to insist that Schroyer get a strong x’s and o’s teacher and a mentor to Schroyer to be his Assistant Head Coach.
