This article was sent out on the “Detroit Mercy Titans” Facebook feed with the message “Great story in the AP!” It’s very favorable regarding AD, but it’s also very damming (accurately IMO) in its description of the poor fan support from students and others, and lack of adequate financial support for the MBB program from the University.

Rogo you have posted numerous times what the Athletic Dept. should consider doing to promote MBB with virtually no response. No need to beat a dead horse here ,but Vowels lost me after 45 years with the entire WBB fiasco. Many factors contribute to low attendance and have been discussed here numerous times. Suffice to say a losing record and losing at home don't help. Athletics should be offering $5 tickets for the last 6 home games and promoting that on ESPN+ and ticket giveaway on AM 1500 and 950 for starters. We should have 2000+ for Senior day and AD number retirement!

I too would advocate a full-blast, all hands on deck, leave no reasonable idea or suggestion unimplemented approach to marketing and promoting the six remaining regular season MBB home games.

One thing I wasnt clear on from the article. Does MD pay a strength and conditioning coach out of his own pocket to work with the team? Or to work with AD?

My understanding is that Davis has his own personal trainer and when he is training in the weight room there are restrictions on what other athletes can do. I find that quite an indictment of our strength and conditioning staff that after 4 years the coach feels his son needs help not available to the rest of our athletes.

Thanks, Chuck. That's exactly why I'd asked the question.

We have no strength and conditioning program. See link below. We have no sports nutrition program. We're lucky to have a few trainers. But we do have a lot of people with fancy sounding titles in business affairs. Link

Not sure if it was a repeat or not but there was a lengthy interview with AD during the halftime of the Richmond-VCU game.
