[quote][size=5][b]Matta agrees to new contract [/b][/size] Friday, October 20, 2006 Bob Baptist THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Matta through the years Ohio State and Thad Matta have agreed on a new contract that would replace the eightyear, $11.1 million deal the men’s basketball coach signed only 19 months ago. Athletic director Gene Smith said yesterday that he could not divulge details of the agreement pending its approval by university trustees Nov. 3. Two weeks ago, before negotiations were complete, Smith said he hoped to not only enhance Matta’s compensation but also extend the length of the coach’s contract, which expires in 2013. Matta’s current compensation package, averaging approximately $1.4 million a year, ranks second in the Big Ten to that of Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, who makes an average of $2.4 million, according to a survey earlier this year by The Des Moines Register. Matta, 39, is 46-18 in two seasons at Ohio State and is 148-49 in six years as a coach. The Buckeyes won the Big Ten championship and were a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season. Despite losing four starters, they enter this season picked among the nation’s 10 best teams. The recruiting class is ranked second. A provision in Matta’s contract would have permitted him to renegotiate after this season to put him among the 16 highest-paid coaches in college basketball if Ohio State had finished 16 th or better in either poll or landed a fourth seed or higher in the NCAA Tournament. [b]Step forward for Oden [/b] Freshman center Greg Oden had a screw removed from his surgically repaired right wrist, but Matta said the timetable for his return remains uncertain. "Just because the pin’s out, he’s not back to normal. We still have a ways to go," Matta said. Oden had surgery June 16 to reattach a torn ligament in the wrist, which he injured in February. The screw was inserted to stabilize bones while the ligament healed. Matta said recently that he hoped to have Oden in the lineup by Jan. 1. [b]Tickets available [/b] Tickets remain for eight of 10 nonconference games in Value City Arena in November and December. Approximately 1,100 seats in the lower bowl and an unspecified number in the upper bowl are available for three games in the BCA Classic Nov. 10-12 and games against San Francisco on Nov. 20, Valparaiso on Dec. 2, Cleveland State on Dec. 9, Iowa State on Dec. 19 and Coppin State on Dec. 30. Tickets may be purchased at ohiostatebuckeyes.com or by calling 1-800-GO-BUCKS. bbaptist@dispatch.com[/quote] [url="http://www.buckeyextra.com/?story=dispatch/2006/10/20/20061020-F3-02.html"]http://www.buckeyextra.com/?story=dispatch...1020-F3-02.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IndianaBengal Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 [quote]BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- It has been 37 years since a player from Kentucky played basketball at Indiana University. Versatile player: Bud Mackey of Scott County (Ky.) High School plays both guard positions. [size=5][color="#FF0000"]He was heavily recruited by top programs.[/color] [/size] - CHARLES BERTRAM / Lexington Herald-Leader Bud Mackey, however, is ready to buck the trend. The 6-4, 180-pound combo guard from Scott County High School in Georgetown, Ky., is Indiana's first oral commitment for the Class of 2008. Mackey, a 17-year-old high school junior, said he chose the Hoosiers late Thursday after receiving scholarship offers from [size=5][color="#3333FF"]Kentucky[/color][/size] , Florida, Tennessee, Xavier, Clemson, Miami (Fla.) and Mississippi State. He had visited Mississippi State and Louisville. [size=4] [color="#FF0000"]"I attended Midnight Madness at Indiana and when I was going home, I told myself that there was no doubt that was where I wanted to play,'' Mackey said. "I've been to Midnight Madness at Kentucky and it was nothing like Indiana. That was unbelievable.'' [/color] [/size]The last player from Kentucky to play basketball at IU even predates Bob Knight as the IU coach. Tom Boone, a 5-10 guard from Flaget High School in Louisville, played for the Hoosiers in 1970. Only one other Kentucky player has played at IU since 1956: Covington's Al Harden, 1963-65. Mackey averaged 15 points per game in the regular season last year for Scott County and approximately 20 points per game in the state playoffs. He attended one of IU's elite camps this summer and received an offer from the Hoosiers shortly thereafter. Mackey plays both point guard and shooting guard. He won't be able to sign a letter-of-intent until November 2007. IU coaches are not allowed to comment about Mackey until he signs a letter of intent.[/quote] How the times are changin'.

Ohio State is taking care of Thad already and he hasn`t won shit yet. They`re not going to just let him walk away, without a fight. He has it in his contract where he can renegotiate and be paid like one of the top coaches, depending on how his team finishes. I really don`t know why he would want to leave a place where he is building the foundation. And being able to do it his way. Why the hell would he want to coach in Kentucky anyway ? He isn`t going to be able to recruit any better there., than he will at Ohio State. He isn`t going to make any more money there, than he will at Ohio State. And he would have more pressure on him there, than he does at Ohio State. Like I said, quit dreaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
