Colonels, it's not that expectations are ridiculous in Somerset, it's simply the fact that most people involved with Somerset athletics have a serious lack of confidence in Daniel. Like I said our AD tried to get him out last year because he had to have realized the mistake. There are great coaches right under our noses who would love the job, and instead we essentially take a poor trade in coaches from the other end of the state. As I said before, I'm sure he is an alright guy and everything but he is not nor was he ever a good fit for Somerset basketball.

I don't necessarily think that expectations are ridiculous, but just set a little to high. If you look at his schedule the past couple of years he scheduled light to try and give the team some confidence, and mature before facing a rigorous 12th Region Schedule. If he would have scheduled the way they had in the past they record would not have been what it has been. In his first two years they played a much more difficult schedule and only won 12 games one year and 4 the next, with more talented teams. Out of curiosity who are the more talented Coaches right under there your noses? Some could say Darry Burkett, maybe his brother Kevin, Don's his assistant? Who else is there with his experience and record. Maybe Dave Shultz. Dave probably has the best record in the area out of the ones mentioned. I doubt if Somerset would have hired Darry, and Dave just stopped coaching this year. I am just wondering who are the "great" coaches. Is Rodney Woods planning on leaving Wayne County for the job or was he at the time they hired Don. Don had a pretty good record at Rowan, and got in trouble due to an incident related to his son, it is my understanding it was not about his coaching ability.
