Welcome to BG!!

An assistant from the best program in the country. That’s a really exciting hire.

College experience:
Temple assistant 06-08
SDSU assistant 08-10
Penn State assistant 10-14
Minnesota assistant 14-15
South Carolina assistant 15-23

2 national titles at South Carolina, and they went 247-32 in his time there. Seems like there’s a lot of potential for him to be a very successful coach.

That’s quite a surprise. He certainly has an extensive background.

Really, really wanted someone with HC experience.

Huge hire. He is a big recruiter and still pretty young

I wonder if he played a part in recruiting Zia Cooke from Toledo?

Derek doesn't mess around. Big swing to grow the program bigger.

Can't wait to see what he does with football.

I wonder if any of the current staff will stay on

WELCOME COACH!!

(Bring some Recurits)

Certainly an exciting hire from a BiG time program....Success breeds success. He coached the current USC coach in the WNBA.

Welcome to the Nest, Coach Chmiel~

DVDM has been impressive so far...Signing Coach Tomic to an extension, hiring Coaches Chmiel and Simon. Coach Loeffler's extension is a 50/50 shot but I have a feeling DVDM made it crystal clear Scot has to produce, as in MAC titles. Then there's hockey to think about...

His bio says he was Mens BB HC at two small colleges early in his career before going to major programs as an assistant for WBB.

What an amazing hire. With that track record, if I were one of our recruits or one of our players in the portal, I would forget all about that stuff and stay put.

I had no idea we could even possibly pull a candidate of that quality.

This is the kind of hire you make after a successful season. Keep a good thing going by getting a top notch candidate. Hockey was here a few years ago and the school went the way of nepotism looked what happened there.

DVDM certainly seems to get it.

I would like one of the shirts!!
