He's inconsistent and doesn't have the offense for the NBA. He is a good NBA shot blocker and a decent rebounder, but he is below average in every other skill, except probably free throw shooting, for his position. Yeah this is exactly it. Not a big mystery.

I mean I’d want to stay at a job when making $200k+ as a number 2. Not sure on that number but fairly positive.

The bigger question is does a new AD want to keep him? I’d imagine most want to hire their own right hand man or woman.
It’s a bit more than that. Closer to $235,000.
