I just spent 15mins reading through this thread to find out what was happening with Coach Brock.
So does anyone know what is actually happening with Bill?
Coach Brock
.. has not been named in Baylor announcements since the transition on May 3
.. was not included in published photos of the first team meeting
.. was not included in a recent team video of Lady Bears training
I respect Coach Brock and appreciate the many contributions that he has made to the winning culture of the Lady Bears. Through the years, he has made a significant impact on the training and skill building of Baylor's interior players. His many radio interviews (where he dissected the game with a step-by-step technical eye) were enjoyable insights that added to watching the game. His endless on-the-road recruiting trips brought analysis back to the Baylor staff that contributed to bringing players that exceled and met the challenge of producing 3 National Championships and 21 BIG 12 Championship & Tournament trophies.
Although it is unknown what the next career step is in Coach Brock's life (whether it is at Baylor or elsewhere), I wish him and his family the very best as his journey continues.
Money talks. He'll stay for the right amount of $$ and provided CNC doesn't see him as a distraction.
Maybe, maybe not, especially when the retirement option looms and is justified, and you are looking at a new work environment, either because of staff changes or physical location. I voluntarily and happily retired 13 years ago and before eligible for social security after over 30 years where I had been. Doing so reduced my income (salary vs. pension) by well over 50%. However, I didn't need the money. I wanted to retire. Have never regretted it, even when figuring out how much more my bottom line would be today had I continued to work. At a point in your life, $$ are no where near the motivation that people, especially on this board, throw out. Even if it is a second, it is a distant second. Your freedom and being able to do what you want, when you want is all you need.
I suspect Brock is financially secure and perhaps retirement is something he has been considering. Mulkey's move may have made the decision for him. If he was all that gung ho about continuing to work and $$ matters, he would have moved to LSU. HIs life now may be about family and retirement that doesn't have the travel and schedule demands of being a major college coach. If that is the case, money does not talk, at least the kind of money that any responsible organization would be justified in paying for him, whether it be Baylor or someone else.
