You tease, but there are posters here who have years of experience and expertise in certain sports. Especially in basketball, I believe there were a number of occasions where the bball coach would do well to have considered some of the posts here. This phenomenon also extends into other areas such as Admissions, Sports Marketing, Recruiting, etc.

Caveat emptor. Hopefully, coaches warn our athletes in the strongest terms NOT to read Crossports. If they do, it's at their own risk. I believe that the audience for Crossports is WE POSTERS. If we had to be concerned about athletes "feelings," we might as well shut the forum down. Crossports as hate speech? I tease too... your post could be read that coaches [college officials] should censor what the players [students] read to protect their feelings from an off campus source that is exercising free[but not necessarily civil] speech about them and their group.

Just a small reflection...if our HC athletes read (or hear about) CROSSPORTS, how do you think it makes them feel to constantly be told (after committing to HC and attending) that they are not talented enough and almost anyone who becomes available could do a better job? This has far more to do with scholarship management, and why we have 6 guys in one class to throw off our scholarship balance even more, while also preventing us from getting anything from the transfer market that seems to keep getting deeper year after year. We are "rebuilding" (bigly) next year, so it was the perfect opportunity to have a transfer of the roster for a redshirt year.

I guess you weren't watching HC bball during CMB's reign. I guess you are blissfully unaware of the utterly stupid things Div I coaches have done at times. I'm pretty sure some of our posters are former HC players and I know we have at least a couple very knowledgeable high school bball coaches. There may even be some former or current coaches. Oftentimes, persons in authority, like a corporate CEO or a DIV I head coach, have a hard time getting honest input because of the natural reluctance to risk displeasing a person in authority. One of the virtues of a Forum like this is its anonymity, where there should be no reluctance for posters to express their true opinions. So yes, if I was a Div I head coach trying to protect a huge paycheck, I would do just about everything to scan the environment. Periodically checking in on a Forum like this doesn't take much time and effort. But that's just me.

Thinking that any HC head coach etc a "huge" paycheck compared to his peers seems to be a bit delusional.

rgs- What is CBC's cash compensation? I saw $500K somewhere, but I have no idea if that is accurate.

I saw that the new Drake coach was offered a 7 year package at a million a year. Do you really see $500,000 (if that is accurate) as "huge"? To what are you comparing it?

Yes, it's all relative. $500,000 a year for multiple years is huge relative to the average PL coach. Not huge compared to the MVC or A10. Huge compared to many MAAC schools. Not huge at all compared to some MAAC's.

I'm not comparing it to his peers. I'm comparing it to the needs of his family. He was 65 when he was hired after a year assisting at Fairfield. There was no guarantee he'd get a head coaching gig. I'm guessing retirement was a realistic option for him. Instead he ends up making $500K (?) and it probably changes his whole retirement financial outlook. That's what I meant.

Unless he's a financial moron, Coach should already have enough $$$$ to live very very comfortably. Of course, hope he earns a lot more at HC

That's why I said "unless he's a financial moron" , because it would take that high level of incompetence to be in financial trouble after enjoying many years of head coach compensation

The small fry are usually very conservative. It's those with large net worth that attract evil doers.

Lafayette spring cleaning. Out go Dan Cristiano and Jimmy Panzini.
Dylan Jones, who I heard failed the Ann McD test and matriculated at UPenn for four years, is off to Rice.
Zach Pirog, a kid I thought we had interest in, is transferring from Omaha after losing minutes to MH.

Zach Pirog, a kid I thought we had interest in, is transferring from Omaha after losing minutes to MH. Not sure if I'd call it a Lafayette spring cleaning. Both of the players who left are walk-ons who never played and who presumably are going to go D3 to find some playing time. Jones, btw, played very few minutes in his four years at Penn, and missed all of this year with an injury.

In three years of play at Penn Dylan Jones played 10+ minutes in a game 10 times
Cristiano did not see the floor this season for Lafayette as far as I can tell.
Panzini is Lafayette's all time leader is field goal percentage going 1/1 in the 13 minutes heplayed in 10 games this season

We all thought he would have been an awesome get for us and were so disappointed when he went to Penn.

BTW, my point had nothing to do with bball talent. It was just an example of a singular data point showing a failure in ann'S prog nostication of future academic performance. In this one case cmb and staff out performed Ms M.

FWIW, Aaron Thompson has received his release from Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, no room at the Inn here but thought it might be of interest to some.
