Something terrible must have happened at Fordham for us to steal both Candice Green and Paige Corkins for our coaching staff. They had a successful season, made a trip to the postseason and then lost their interim head coach and assistant coach. I know that we are a great opportunity and all but, what don't I understand?

They were holdovers from the Stephanie Gatley regime there - Gately was dismissed during the summer of ‘22 under mysterious circumstances- Fordham actually underperformed last season with a veteran team with their best player now a grad transfer at Notre Dame - the AD there wanted a fresh restart and hired the head coach from Northeastern

You could have said the same thing when Gibbons was suspended and they cleaned house after a successful 19-11 campaign and 11-7 conference record....

I'm confused by this. Green and Corkins were let go by Fordham in early March. (Corkins was not a coach there btw.) They were hired by HC more than two months later. So how did HC "steal" them?

HC got a qualified A-10 head coach for a PL assistant coach salary. Thus we "stole" her although no actual college was robbed. Likewise, Bentley got a qualified PL head coach for a D-2 assistant coach salary when AM was not renewed and Bentley could say they stole her without that resulting in a police report being filed.

I guess my use of the word "steal" might be inappropriate. I have no reason to believe we did anything nefarious.
What I'm really wondering about is, how did Fordham let these two go? They were loved by the players, they had a winning record, and they were in the postseason. Now they've lost several players, in addition to Green and Corkins. Something happened.

If the compensation of AD's was tied to different incentives such as keeping the department on budget they might put more effort into resolving issues in-house before cleaning house.
I think when AM left HC there was no significant effect on the budget and there may not have been at Fordham when our two new staff members left, but I never ceased to be amazed when AD's have a quick hook at the expense of millions of other people's dollars.

I believe a foremer player(s) accused the FHC Gaitley of mental abuse (https://www.codyraesims.com/post/fordham-university-basketball-a-dream-turned-nightmare) and subsequently cleaned house. Who knows where the truth lies. I note she was recently hired as the HC at FDU after a years as a HS coach.

Coach Candice will be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress! What a born performer. Love it. Assistant coaches are generally seen not heard, but I hope we get to hear from Candice often.
