Shaw Will Not Retain Coach Brickey

Mar 14, 2008

POST VIEW

Shaw men’s basketball coach Robert Brickey will not be retained, the school announced Friday.

Brickey, a former Duke star who is from Fayetteville, has been the Bears’ head coach for three seasons but had failed to produce the winning programs Shaw had earlier this decade. Shaw was 5-23 this past season.

Al Carter, Director of Athletics said in a statement, "We appreciate and value the dedication and contributions of Coach Brickey to the athletic programming here at Shaw University. The Shaw Family extends best wishes for his continued success in all future endeavors."

Capel: 1st year at OK, on the bubble (verdict not in yet on his career)

Henderson: (forgot he existed) 0 NCAAs

Brey: moderate success with a few NCAAs (hardly to K's credit)

Bender and Dougherty: never heard of 'em. (no one has)

Dawkins, Wojo, Collins: a former great(the next Doherty/Lowe), a yes-man, and a trust fund brat (3 Ken Dolls on the bench)

Ferry and King: you really shouldn't mention that d__chb_g's name in the same breath as Brother King.

Whew! Jannita sure did pour out a whole bucketfull. Chill girl. No one can ever discount Coach K's ability to produce head coaches who toe the line of success.

I am not sure why that is racist, as Coach K is a great mentor and teacher and has launched the careers of several coaches.

Tommy Amaker (Seton Hall, Michigan, Harvard)
Bob Bender (Washington)
Mike Brey (Notre Dame)
Neil Dougherty (Texas Christian)
Quin Snyder (Missouri)
Jeff Capel III (Virginia Commonwealth, Oklahoma)
David Henderson (Delaware) Including three former players (Johnny Dawkins, Steve Wojciechowski, and Chris Collins), who now work under him as assistants at Duke.

Krzyzewski has also coached NBA General Managers: Danny Ferry with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Billy King, formerly of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Having said that, when Coach K first came to Duke, it took several seasons of recruiting and training players in HIS system for success to build. His first year was not bad (17-13). His second year was dismal (10-17) and his third year was equally bad (11-17). But by year 4, they went to the tourney and never looked back! Give Brickey some time!

Maybe he can go back ans sit beside Coach K
