Summit Coaching Changes

As you know, IUPUI's Ron Hunter announced several weeks ago he was going to Georgia State. Today IUPUI announced Hunter's top assistant, Todd Howard, is the new Jaguar Head Coach. Many say that was a great hire.

Dan Fife, IPFW's head coach, announced he's going to Michigan State to be Tom Izzo's assistant. Assistant Tony Jasick will take over at IPFW.

I understand Fife's move, but Hunter leaving, maybe I missed something, but is Georgia State that much better than IUPUI? I know they are, or were (haven't paid that much attention them) good at football, but I have never heard anything about the bball program. Is he from there or is it just better pay?

In the reference to football,I think you are confusing Georgia State with Georgia Southern. Georgia State just started football this past year. Georgia Southern has been an FCS power for years,particularly in the mid 2000s decade. Georgia State is in the Colonial Conference home of George Mason and others who have a solid basketball reputation in recent years.

You are correct, I am thinking of Georgia Southern. Doesn't Georgia beat the crap out of them EVERY year lol.
