Yet he accepts no responsibility for his hiring failures. You pay one coach hundreds of thousands of dollars to coach your basketball team. You pay another coach hundreds of thousands of dollars not to coach your team. And the buck stops with the coaches. Green, like all the coaches who preceded him, was accountable for his program.
Dickey helps arrange the wedding and the divorce, but is responsible for nothing in between.
I also regret the lack of stability within our basketball program during my tenure as an athletic director. Given my past hiring failures, I'm going to excuse myself from the next coaching search. I'll leave it up to our university president, Dr. J. Wade Gilley, and whomever he wants to put on a search committee. I'm quite confident they couldn't do any worse than I have. Not a single decision that's ever been made here hasn't been a team effort.
