Congratulations to Jermaine Truax for conducting a thorough, professional search. No search committee and off-campus interviews assured there were no internal leaks, and at the end of the day, I believe he hired the best person for the Bucknell basketball program. There were several strong candidates, at least a few of whom could have been successful. However, given the current state of the program, I think he realized one stood out above the others to reenergize a deeply-caring fanbase. For an ahletic director who was not around when the program was at its peak, that's not as easy of a decision as it might seem. College athletics is littered with AD's who hire "their guy" to build "their legacy." I am so impressed that didn't feel the need to do that.
