ND's Matthews headed to Limestone
-

Kind of a puzzling move. I'm sure Limestone is paying him more than ND. But as far as basketball goes, Limestone is a downgrade. ND just had their best season in history so it seems odd that he would be leaving simply for the money. -

He's been looking for a pay raise for years."But instead lets just hate while their MBB and WBB programs play blackjack against BU. Twenty-One in a row, seven by the Men & 14 by their women." ~NSBF

dont forget, its high school and the pension options probably had something to do with it, not sure but does PND teachers have a contract or are they "at will" employees? that alone is enough,Lets surrender .....

Still a touchy subject in some peoples minds, including mine. It was 2004 when that happened btw.Originally posted by Samd2 View Post
Any public school job is a pay increase over PND for any position. This is speculation, so take it for what its worth as one mans opinion, but I wouldnt be shocked to see Hank Mathews end up playing for his dad at limestone and the move not being just for basketball reasons either because Hank is one heck of a baseball player, well he was not sure if he is playing for PND now or if he is focusing on just basketball?
As a former player(not basketball)/student of Coach Mathews, I wish him the best!Comment

The article in the PJStar said that the family was looking for a house in the Limestone area and that Hank would be going there.Comment

ND will graduate virtually everyone from this year's team and will be going back to being very average as they have been for the last 25 years. Possibly a lateral move, but certainly not a backwards move. I'm sure this played into Eddie's decision to leave ND as well.Originally posted by BeBrave View PostComment

I could be mistaken but I have heard he had offers for more money before. I just think it is interesting that after 9 years of being mediocre, he has a historic season, and leaves.Comment

I don't believe it has anything to do with what he has coming back. I think it is all about his future $$$$$ and that makes perfect sense. The pay at ND is no where near that of a public school. Not even close. Makes it an easy chose. Tickled to death to have Eddie as a Rocket.Originally posted by BeBrave View PostComment

Not any more, but it used to be on par.Originally posted by 45otseoj View Post
Limestone is to the Mid Illini what PND is to the MS 6. Yes Limestone has had Thome, Dunne, Wikoff, Schwindenhammer, etc. but PND's baseball program in the 90s and early-mid 2000s was a pretty d@mn good program. But that was before your time 45, I would expect what you saw in your time at PND as a baseball program why you would think that though.
FWO, PM Me if you want my opinions on the current state of the baseball program....Comment
