He hired a great assistant Tracy Webster--that guy has connections in Illinois--specifically Chicago and he'll help them. He needed this type of connection--because a lot of the Chicago HS coaches can't stand Bruce Weber and it'll help DePaul in the instate battle.

He needed this type of connection--because a lot of the Chicago HS coaches can't stand Bruce Weber and it'll help DePaul in the instate battle. And he had to clear house to make room for him, which included firing his own son. And as much as I laugh at the thought of a homeless dude knowing more about basketball than Wainwright, they are really in a bad situation and time is not his friend. With Dar Tucker gone and Koshwal on the fence the Blue Demons could conceivably be WORSE next season, and they have a low ceiling for improvement. If Webster can't get some players who can make them instantly better in 2010-11, either the remaining DePaul fans will mutiny or the conference might just kick them out. Tough job |

This has been going on for a few months now. DePaul wanted Wainright gone but didn't want to buy out his contract. Wainright did everything he could to save his assistants their jobs but in the end had to cave.
