With WSU being a state school, I would think that info would be public information, but I haven't seen it anywhere yet. I don't believe it was announced. Wichita fans have been asking the same question. I think they still have a few years on Brown's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some coaches have gone back to that. Buzz Williams at A&M, Dan Hurley UConn, Jerry Stackhouse Vandy, & the Mizzou HC dress in slacks and button down shirt.

Wait till they start asking about the roster and the non-conference schedule this June/July/August/September/etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have you seen his quotes from the press conference yesterday? Interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Skip to 22:00 .... Mills gets the Abmas question. "If you can have an all American to coach, you want to do it" then says he can't comment because of tampering rules https://www.audacy.com/kfh/sports/introducing-new-wsu-mens-basketball-head-coach-paul-mills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, tmh8286 said: The reason for posting all of this info about Tang is to raise the question: could part of Mills' motivation to make the move to WSU be to attempt a cultural change at that university similar to what his good friend has brought about at K State? With Mill's deep devotion to his faith, and the Great Commission, I wonder if this could have been an influence. A couple of thoughts here. First of all, I'm impressed with your ability to see the good in everybody. Good for you sir. I should aspire to do more of that. (this is sincere by the way, not sarcastic) Second, this was a missions move? What would LL Cool J say? Nah, I don't think so. Thirdly, if this were a missions thing he would be doing what Tang did with the chant to that hand signal we aren't talking about anymore. Instead he's embracing it. Yea, I'm still bitter about being played. Edited March 24, 2023 by Otis 83 added note about sincerity 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum11 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Random thought: did mills know he was taking the WSU job before the SL tournament? Is that why he felt permission to be so critical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Wichita State didn’t fire their coach until March 11 - so, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUSwagger Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) https://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/article273595485.html 5 Year Contract - $1.25 Million and goes up per year. $8.5 Million in 5 years. Assuming Mills fulfills his appearance obligations to earn his stipends and receives his retention bonus, he will earn $1.534 million his first year, $1.594 million his second year, $1.714 million his third year, $1.789 million his fourth year and $1.914 million his fifth year.
