Old Titan Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Not great timing, but perhaps he's been gone for a while with no announcement? As of today, he's still listed on the men's basketball staff page of the ORU Athletics website, which might lead one to surmise a move on his own accord and not a dismissal at season's end a month ago. Either way, perhaps a partial explanation of why this recruiting cycle for ORU has been so...quiet? Curious to see if any kids from this region end up signing in the coming days/weeks with Longwood... 2
2014Grad Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Funny enough two days later he's still on the website and his twitter bio hasn't changed . Wonder if a"guru" jumped the gun?

ORUTerry Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Doc says we have hit the storage limit for the website - so he contacted the hosting site to increase capacity. Should be fixed soon. A Christian never falls asleep in the fire or in the water, but grows drowsy in the sunshine. – Samuel Wilkes

theeagleman5 Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Very true and well said above.....Doc also free to delete many of my dubious and inane posts if it will help the cause...... 1

And no replacement has been announced. But that’s OK; the only things assistant coaches do this time of year is recruit and schedule games, it’s not like those two areas are lacking right now in this program… 2

That position will not be replaced in the upcoming season.
theeagleman5 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Geez....TheEagleman sent in a nice resume but they never got back to me....you mean there isn't even an opening???? 1

That's why they decided they weren't going to fill the position. They read your resume and decided that it wasn't worth an age discrimination suit being filed against them. 2
Old Titan Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 Everyone knows Williams returned to Longwood; that fact was the purpose of this thread in the first place. What, however, is NOT so obvious is why a Division 1 athletic program trying to extricate itself from the deepest slump in school history thinks it’s “business as usual” to enter battle without at least a minimal complement of officers at the helm. ”Into The Valley of Death rode the six hundred” indeed… #GoogleIt

Donovan's posts have shown his return to Longwood is confirmed but it wasn't until long after the 4/14 post above. In any event, how many "suits" (if they wore suits these days) or officers would be enough on the bench? Usually there are more "suits" than there are dressed players some games. Why they haven't taken Donovan's picture off the website is because they haven't put up the roster for the 2026-27 season (where he won't be included), but he was a coach for the 2025-26 season.
