Surprised he held on to his job as long as he did which makes me think he "resigned". Conclusion, if you are a good coach with a solid history of making college athletics a great experience for your athletes and one disgruntled athlete can derail your career or cost you your job. If you have a history of being a jerk and a bunch of your athletes take their case to the administration you may actually get to keep your job a little longer as long as you behave and actually continue to get hired other places. I've been doing it all wrong. Recent Examples: VCU-James Finley UC-Reed Sunahara (although I still don't know why exactly he was removed) WFU-Ken Murczek Wherever the Shepherdson's are coaching I mean how the hell do these jerk coaches keep getting jobs while great coaches and even better people can't even get a second interview. Makes me want set fires to things. Reed Sunahara is IMO a good man and a good coach. He should not be lumped in with jerks. If I understand the situation correctly there where personal family matters that played into his decisions.

If I am running Wake Forest I approach assistant coach's from Penn St., Texas, Stanford, Nebraska and Illinois to see if anyone shows interest. Good luck with that. If you don't ask, you don't know. The AD would be doing a dis-service to the school and team if he did not reach out.

A fine athletic volleyball tradition indeed. Tim Duncan lead them to a pair of sweet 16 appearances and won the Naismith and Wooden awards as the best college player in all the land while he was there. Wake Forest is a very good school that at the present time has terrible leadership in the athletic department.

I agree see my edited version of the post clarifying what I was trying to illustrate and now that I read it again, poorly.

KM: "I care deeply about the student-athletes currently in the gym" Ouch! No bitterness towards his ex-players in that statement at all. Absolutely, hate when a coach complains about his players, or throws shade on them in public. Your being paid to do a job professionally.
Also the implication I keep hearing is that somehow the parents were a problem. How the heck can a parent influence a University team, unless they are somehow allowed access and influence.

If I understand the situation correctly there where personal family matters that played into his decisions. Then you definitely don't know why he was removed. If you did, he wouldn't be on the good list.

I know why Reed went to Buffalo, I also know why he went to WV, he told me himself, so did others.
If you have something to add, then do it.

There's a search function on this site. Go back and read from around the time he left UC.
