He recruited Jason Kidd (legally or illegally, who knows?), which means he has some sort of ability to close. In the middle of the sleepy Baron years I was shouting to bring on Bozeman as a head coach so I'd say I'm pleasantly surprised on this choice as an assistant. Risky? Sure. Not a whole lot t...

Hartford won't be the last. There are a lot of similar schools that are thinking, "thank God they did it before us. Now we won't be the first."

Mark Schmidt must be one hell of a salesman, getting a kid from sunny, warm south Florida to come to god-forsaken Olean, N.Y.

“Self-certified” sounds an awful lot like “self-reported,” meaning schools will lie like hell, and when a Cartel school gets caught the NCAA will put Jacksonville State on probation.

I'm hearing the next Assistant Coach will have the initials JC. Of course the first choice is Jesus Christ, but if he can't get out of his contract then Jim Christian would be a solid second choice. If he turns us down then I'd like to add Karl Koussa, Sam the Ram, and Larry the Drunk from Lamda Ch...

If you have a cancerous lung removed, you’re a cancer survivor. If you lose a leg in a traffic accident, you’re a survivor. Survival rates only tell part of the story.

A Venn diagram would show a significant overlap of people who won’t get the vaccine and won’t wear masks. That overlap is the herd stupidity.

Mike Rice? But Cox will never hire him since he will perceive him to be a threat to his job. I know that Rice had issues several years ago while the top guy at Rutgers and that Cox at one time worked on the staff of Rice. Mike Rice Sr. was a lunatic, and the apples didn't fall far from the tree.

We're not going to reach herd immunity until we overcome herd stupidity.

How often does this happen at a Cartel school with similar penalties? Asking for a friend.

Other than It being a nice story, I don’t get the desire to hire someone who has played/ coached here previously. We have that in TJ. This staff needs an outsider with some fresh eyes/ideas. Not that I'm touting him, but Petro let Skinner go 24 years ago. Wondering if he and Donna still have their ...

Been following Newcastle since Little Red went to grad school Tyneside. Perfect masochistic complement to following the Red Sox (back to the Impossible Dream team when I was eight) and URI.

The slimy slithering snake talked a good game, but ultimately we were never going to be able to pay him enough. Sooner or later a Cartel school was going to throw enough football money at him to make him forget all those platitudes about "Gonzaga of the East." Screw him and all the Leg-hum...

Agreed. If he can focus on being a pass-first guard, he'll be a solid piece for them. The Big10 is a different animal so he will have trouble scoring in that league unless his shot drastically improves. He'll still be able to blow by any man that defends him, and now that he has guys around him tha...

Fatts will have a lot more talent around him, guys he can trust will score if he finds them. I think he'll be much more a true PG rather than a guy who feels he needs to score a lot of points for his team to win. Agreed. If he can focus on being a pass-first guard, he'll be a solid piece for them. ...

Gonzaga is a non-Cartel school. That’s good enough for me.
