I can't believe there were people who wanted Mcclain to stay. Maybe Schroyer wasn't the right hire but Steve had to go.

The struggles that Heath have had don't change the fact that the program was not heading in a positive direction under McClain.

well im just saying what has Schroyer done that McClain couldnt have done
"well im just saying what has Schroyer done that McClain couldnt have done"
Schroyer has fixed the academic mess McClain left the program in. Oh, that is right, the AD hired two full-time tutors to accompany Schroyer's team and to keep the players on pace in their classes. Well, Schroyer probably would have straightened it out without the AD's jumping in to help (wonder why he didn't jump in to help McClain by hiring those tutors?).
Schroyer did get the team into post-season play last year. Think it was the BCS, or something like that. Oh, is that not a tournament that was only in its second year? If so, McClain was out of here before he would have had an opportunity to qualify for that tournament (which I believe was simply having a winning season which McClain would have qualified for in two of his last four seasons). Of course, the AD would have had to be willing to hand out the bucks to allow McClain's teams to play in that tournament.
Although I still am a Cowboy basketball fan, some of my former coffee drinking buddies gave up on it when the AD stabbed McClain in the back (the terminology of some of them) with his statement saying that it was not a critical year for McClain and then a few months later fires him. Again some are pretty well convinced that the AD had it pretty well planned out ahead of time to bring HIS BUDDY in here to take over the program and are convinced that the the AD is in agreement on the watered down out of conference schedules in order to help make HIS BUDDY look good. Frankly I have to admit that I am getting awfully tired of hearing about how bad a "mess" Schroyer inherited (sure nice having a football coach who is classy enough to take the situation as it is and not blame everything on the prior coach) and how young and inexperienced HIS team is (this is his third year so who is at fault for having such a young, inexperienced team). Have to agree with an earlier response about McClain's teams rebounding and in addition, it appears to me that his teams generally seemed to give more of an effort when they took the floor.
Yes, I am still a Cowboy basketball fan, but this season will probably determine whether I renew my season tickets come next year. Thinking that maybe I will probably only attend selective home conference games (unless the out-of-conference schedule is strengthened -- no more Johnson-Wales/Peru State types).

Wyopokesfan23, I think you are jumping to an erroneous conclusion. I have read their posts and what I get from their posts is not a feeling that McClain should have been retained but rather we aren't any better off now and actually the play is worst. That is no endorsement of McClain.
We do have better academics now and have a better strength program, but academic adviser and strength coach that was requested by previous regime and was denied quickly became available when AD hired his buddy, who then was praised for taking UW to a tournament even though it was a pay-to-play tournament that was willing to take teams with losing records if they would shell out the bucks, and a tournament where the school lost a sizable chunk of change, and then embarrassed itself on the floor only to see the coach given a two-year contract extension as a result of taking the team to the tournament.
