John Groce (HC Akron Zips)

For some reason, maybe it is wishful thinking, I think he stays with Matta for a little longer. I know that he is ready to be an HC but I just think that this staff is extremely tight. I have never seen a dollar amount for the assistant basketball coaches... that might be interesting.

Matta and Groce have always been together...If you watch the practices Groce does just as much as Matta...I would say about the only difference between what they do is the amount that Groce makes...

Groce is ready for a big time job and was offered one 2 years ago, not sure where, but he didn't take it...

Wouldn't surprise me to see him get offers and go, but it also wouldn't surprise me if schools come calling and he stays put...

I understand that it is great to have your own team, but he is in a great situation to really get a lot of exposure and is still young and might wait until he gets and offer that he really wants, instead of one that he might not covet...

That is my thinking. Why take a job just to become a HC when you can wait a few years and possibly get a job at a school were the basketball program is a fairly good one already and you don't have to completely rebuild. If he is happy here which I think he most definitely is, I think he stays around for awhile.

I do know that his wife loves the situation here as well...

Groce has the luxury of waiting for a nice mid-major job to open up. He's turned down advances from Duquense which is one of worst jobs in the A10 and Murray State which has been a good spring board for coaches to move up. I think he'll hold out for a Xavier, Butler, Dayton, Southern Illinois type opening.

I see him holding out for an even better job than that...I think a lower tier big ten type job or maybe big east...Something in the midwest area...

I think that would be too big of a jump for a assistant head coach to get a HC job and a Big 10 or Big East school plus I really don't see any of those head coaches leaving anytime soon especially in the Big 10 unless Carmody gets the boot. I don't think Groce would be interested in moving to Evanston. I think one of DaytonBuck's jobs or more likely. JMO

The Indiana job could open up too; however, I doubt that Groce would be considered for that one.
