This is your D1, major-conference basketball coach. I'll give him a totally sweet name to protect his anonymity.
Records during coach Rod's tenure:
2000-01: 11-19 (3-13)
2001-02: 16-13 (7-9)
2002-03: 12-17 (3-13)
2003-04: 14-15 (8-8)
2004-05: 15-16 (6-10)
2005-06: 14-15 (6-10)
2006-07: 13-18 (2-14)
2007-08: 8-19 (1-15)
Notes:
* Graduates almost everybody. Runs a clean program. Seems like a nice guy.
* Program is historically awful. Laughingstock-level awful. Tough to recruit to for many reasons, even before coach Rod put in a slow-down offense that offers very little reason for anybody with pro aspirations to be drawn toward.
* As may be inferred, non-conference schedule is cupcake-heavy.
* Friends with the university president.
After making fun of me...and probably eating five tacos, given the audience...what do you do?
Head coach Rod Stewart, the 2003-04 Widger Conference Coach of the Year, has been labeled the best offensive coach in college basketball by Sports Illustrated as well as the second-most innovative coach in the nation. And in recent seasons SI's college basketball writers voted him one of the 15 best coaches in the college game -- a list that included only one other Widger Conference coach.
He has more wins over a seven-year span than any other coach in Barton University's history and his Division I peers have voted him as one of the five coaches they would most like to see give an offensive clinic.
