PSAC WEST

Agreed. They will get some decent candidates from the assistant ranks.

If Edinboro wanted to go (very) young, they could look at Luke Dyer. He played at WL and has been the top assistant for Ron Fudala down at USCB. The PSAC is a good league with a good reputation. They'll get some good candidates -- late June or not. Unfortunately, the salary isn't going to keep anybody around very long.

McComb is deceivingly large. I get used to watching it on web streams and then when I go up I remember how big it is inside. Depending on how much coin they are going to dump in there, they could do some neat stuff. I think Clarion was the gold standard in renovating these old gyms. The current edition of Tippin in very nice.

Another strong candidate is Pitt-Bradford's Daniel Smay. He coached under Lombardi at IUP. He's a good recruiter and knows the area/league.

Smay is an intriguing candidate. He coaches in the AMC against Rowan Carmichael's dad, so that could possibly keep RC around longer.

Another is Pitt Greensburg coach Chris Klimchock. He has a 65-43 (.602) record in 4 seasons including 22-6 this past year. Best part is that he played his first two collegiate seasons at Edinboro before transferring to St. Vincent.

He'd be the highest paid assistant in PSAC basketball history if he's anywhere approaching that.

The rumors are Easton is at 108k and chalas is 86k.

Well, Gannon is getting Easton at a major discount. He should be getting paid way more than that considering he just won a national title.

If that is true, the assistant is -- my guess without question -- the highest paid assistant in the history of PSAC basketball (and it's probably not close).

I've heard Chalas is the actual X's and O's guy and Easton is more the recruiter. Not sure if that's accurate or not.

Sounds of it, easton took less money so Chalas could get a bigger bump. Also remember Chalas is now "Associate Head Coach".
