Even though it’s High Point, I doubt there will be a more shocking dismissal this year than HPU sacking GG Smith. Considering A) it’s was his first full year B) they weren’t THAT bad and most importantly C) considering how close Tubby and Nido are. Heck, that’s the only reason he took the job in the first place….to ensure his son would become the HC sooner rather than later. There MUST be more to this story.

Nido takes no prisoners when it comes to optics. But I agree, pretty shocking he didn't get a second full season.

Honestly there’s not that much more to the story. The coaching has been poor under Tubby and GG. Unhappy players and admins. A lot of really disappointed folks at the top and in Panther Club. A brand new arena and an athletics department that is excelling for the most part outside of mens basketball. When you consider how well Cherry did it seems crappy that they ran him off and basically sold away a couple years of the program to get the NiDome built with Tubby’s help. Full disclosure my wife went to HPU I’m in Panther Club so this is just what I’ve heard from people. |

I don’t blame the admin for looking at it as GG having had more time than the 1.5 years he’s had on paper. The Smiths are good people who did a lot for HPU, I don’t mean to put anyone down. But HPU is trying to hold really high standards for their athletics right now. |

That’s a hard pass on G.G.
Just curious…Chris Beard to High Point? He is greaser than a McDonalds apron, but all the charges were dropped. And he has to start his rehab somewhere. Just saying….
