Donn McClinton's departure creates an opening on our staff for a new lead scout. I realize I've allowed our coaching budget to expand quite a bit in my efforts to keep Coach Sims' staff together, and since it appears our budget isn't increasing at the same pace, I'm going to take the opportunity to cut back a bit.
Our new lead scout is
Chris Kiger. He's 37 years old, and he's spent eleven seasons as an assistant at Sacred Heart, Oral Roberts, and Indiana State.
We're trading a Level 6 assistant for a Level 2 coach, and that carries with it a certain amount of risk...but unless our AD raises our budget, we can't keep giving our assistants the raises they're asking for.
