I’m not sure all that led to his dismissal, but Linc brought a fun, fast-paced, winning style to the Phoenix. I wish him well.

I was his manager for four manager years. I don’t disagree with what he brought as a coach. Didn’t it say in that Green Bay press gazette article he wasn’t bring enough money for the basketball team. That’s why Will Ryan was brought in. I knew linc darner for four years. Him and coaching staff were not huge fans of us managers this is a basketball board but this is a linc darner thread. You put the past in the past.

I wish Linc well. I didn't mind the style that his team's played here in GB but what bothered me was his lack of balance on the defense and rebounding side that seemed to get worse as time went on. I would sit thru games wondering why Manny wasn't playing more when he would be able to get to the rim or score in the paint.
With the level of success that he had at GB, I'm a little surprised he hasn't gotten another shot at a head job. Something doesn't line up there.

Didn’t he only apply for the grand valley state head coaching job? Maybe he didn’t want another head coaching job? He was a head coach for a long time and the position has changed. He wasn’t quite right for uwgb job the right job was available he would go after more. I knew him 4 years as his manager maybe being a assistant has been better for him.

The online rumors indicated that Coach Darner has been a candidate for the head coaching positions at GVSU, Metro St, IUPUI and Eastern Illinois in the past few years.
Regardless, congrats to him on his new opportunity. With Marty Simmons entering his third year, perhaps Coach Darner will have a little stability and be able to stay in one place for a few seasons if he chooses.

Looks like Darner will end up as a Division 2 head coach in Florida. I expect his family will be happy.

You put the past in the past. I'm so sorry that buffoon disrespected you, he should have been thanking you endlessly for your volunteer work. That's his personality, no one was impressed with Linc more than Linc was. I sat in the coaches clinic he was the speaker at, when he did nothing but talk about himself, never discussed the advertised material, and pissed off every HS coach in NE Wisconsin. I knew at that point he'd never be able to recruit Wisconsin. He'll never be a head coach at the D1 level again.
