Chicago Sports reporter Dave Kaplan may end up with serious credibility issues. His Linc Darner report is being refuted by multiple sources. He may have just put Green Bay in a difficult spot.

I don't know that much about Kaplan other than that he does seem to announce quite a few Horizon league games so he definitely is a bit more "inside" on Horizon league type info than the averaged schmo would be.
As far as the release goes, that's the problem with Twitter. People are so eager to be the one to break the story that they don't double-check any facts before sending out news.

Dave Kaplan's no slouch. If he had that, he had it. I wonder if his sources on this were the same as mine when I reported UIC to the MVC...they're Chicago-based, like Kaplan.

Knightlyfe doesn't know wat he's talking about. He says we jumped on Wardell bandwagon and put the blinders on
All wardel did was deliver the best two year period we had outside the Bennett era and was offered more money by another school
I think knightlfe is on the message board for the sole purpose of playing Devils advocate

I don't want to rain on the parade but right now I am happy that Darner is not officially the coach. I know it is crazy to give a cold shoulder to a guy who just coached his way to the D2 national title. I think we can all agree that is impressive.
I am sour on it based on some stats that I don't like. Florida Southern took 39% of their shots from 3 point land. They took more 3 pointers than free throws. They were out rebounded, allowed a lot of points and had a defensive field goal percentage of 43.2% which was mid pack in their league. From what I can tell Darner's teams are really effective at out scoring their opponent. That is a big departure from the past success under Bennett or Wardle. With the remaining roster that seems like a big rebuild is in the future. That high scoring and lack of defense combination doesn't interest me with Kampe with Oakland and it didn't bring home the big wins with Coack K while at GB. In Darner's defense he did beat Rollins College twice this past year which is more than we can say for someone else...
My bottom line is I fear Darner's teams will leave me wanting a big rebound or defense stop. I fear in crunch time I will be left to just pray for 3's to fall in. It might have a similar feeling to be a Milwaukee Panthers fan.

I have no idea what is happening here but I would say GB looks pretty bush league. I see no reason Darner was even considered...he may still get the job but that would be over thinking things to a great degree. There are GREAT options in Wisconsin and if she ignores them she will be proven a stooge. Just my opinion.

Dear God, who knows what is happening. Darner is a Gene Keady protege which is a nice connection. It's just time to wrap things up and move forward no matter who MEG selects. The players and recruits deserve it. Can you imagine how the candidates who have interview must have felt this afternoon?

Still think this race has to be down to Darner or Diener but lets just get a coach and move on. Just hope and pray it is not GG!

What made it believe able was the connections pointed out in the article. www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/college/uwgb/2015/04/10/reports-new-uwgb-hire-false/25608003/

I would like to know who's at fault here if this Darner story isn't true. 2 journalists trying to get the scoop but are going off of hearsay, or did someone from GB athletics leaking the information?
Nonetheless, how this is being handled is ameteur hour.
I would like to see a press conference tomorrow. At this point I pick 'em: Darner, Deiner, Wolf, or Grezsk.

Darner is probably a good coach. Perhaps he is the right guy for the job but mark my words...if Diener is passed up he will end up at Milwaukee and he will beat GB until he leaves. I hope this isn't over yet.

If this isn't true, is all on the reporter who broke the story. Think about it. If it was a GB leak, a local reporter would have the story.

There are way too many people on the message board right now with agendas. Funny how they all come out of the woodwork every time there is a coaching change (or even possible change). Let the process play out and we'll go from there.
Also, its not uncommon for false information to leak out. Happens all the time. Just ask VCU/Marquette fans about Shaka Smart. Or UWM/Miss St. fans about Rob Jeter. It may be sad, but we pretty much should come to expect this by now.
