Coaching Staff and Potential Changes

I did not

This was in one of the Post-Standard articles written after Desko's presser this afternoon...

The fate of Roy Simmons III and the rest of the staff is uncertain. Simmons III said he had planned on retiring this season even before Desko’s decision. Tuesday, he said Gait and Wildhack have asked him to stay on and he is reconsidering his decision.

“My biggest concern is I don’t want to be seen as standing over Gary. It should be a clean break. It should be about him and not about me necessarily breathing down his neck and the pressure that may come with that,” Simmons III said.

The first two are very likely. The third I wouldn't be so sure about

That’s a bummer. Tommy is incredible. Rooting hard for him.

He may be but Simmons III is way too critical to a seamless transition to move on this year..

Cant be stressed enough , Simmons is a gem of a asset that can really help Gait on many fronts . Tony can continue as volunteer coach and be groomed this year to take over those responsibilities which are numerous. ..
