As a side note I would very much like to be in the room when Kzoo AD Kristen Smith explains to Jay what it takes to earn an NCAA bid at this level after having spent the last 30 years of his coaching career in D1 and D2.

Take a coach with no prior experience at the D3 level either as a coach or as a player, and add to that the fact that he has prior experience as a head coach at both the D1 and D2 levels on his résumé (together with a certain amount of success at both), and you can't help but wonder what's going on in the back of his mind as he accepts this job. Given the disdain in which D3 is regarded by the scholarship levels, and the general sense that D3 is a coaching steppingstone rather than a destination (unless you're D3 born and bred, as it were), does he feel as though he's been relegated to the minor leagues in his mid-'50s?

Perhaps he's one of those coaches for whom basketball is basketball, regardless of the level, and he views this as simply an opportunity to sit first chair again for a college program. For Kalamazoo's sake, I hope that this is the case. On the other hand, for a lot of coaches with that kind of a career path the sentiment behind this move might be akin to the opinion expressed by Satan in Book One, Line 263 of Milton's Paradise Lost.  :o

Or could it be that of Achilles in Homer's Odyssey 11.489-91? :o

Both of which could explain his quick departure from GVSU?

"He still stomps to get his players' attention..."  Yeah, but does he flop on the floor on his back waving his arms and legs in a Haklin-esque manner?  :)  This could be a fun season!  I kinda miss Joe.
