not sure if anyone has commented about this yet but thought it was interesting to see no parks on the bench against BC. here she complains about the head coach, ruins his coaching career and reputation and now is not on the staff. not ok.

Interesting first post. However, I can't really follow your point. Are you saying that she was fired by HC? If so, for what reason? May you be reading a bit too much into her absence from the bench. Honestly, I had not even noticed.

she is NO WHERE to be found. not on the bench. not in any videos of their practices or games on social media. just find it interesting. team picture with the coaches was taken down and replaced with the just the girls. but they have kept her bio online. the whole thing was handled so poorly by HC. was she asked to leave? was she given a leave of absence after the court case by coach gibbons? who knows.

Maybe she quit. Anyway let's not start this again. The women so far are having an encouraging start. Please delete this topic

Careful 1234. You are walking a thin line with respect to the board rules and in particular making this your first post on the board after registering. I'll remind you of Rule 7 you should have read on joining.
Fine to point out that coach Parks has not been on the bench and possibly with the team. Even Ok to ask if anyone knows what happened. Leave the speculative questions probing why out of your posts.
I did my best to hold folks to a very tight standard wrt speculation about Coach Gibbons last winter. Will do so on this as well.
Carry on.

It appears that Danielle Parks deleted her Twitter account, for whatever that's worth.

For now, let's say she was "out recruiting" or a "personal matter" and leave it at that. The remainder of the season will tell whether it was something additional. Twitter's got nothin' to do with Holy Cross per se.

The three games that I have seen either online or in person, Coach McInerney has been on the bench. The only game I missed was the first at Illinois.
If you have not seen a game, I suggest that you attend this year. Like the Football team, this year could be special. A couple of injuries to several players that were hoping to contribute, but their absence is being managed extremely well. The Manis, Swords and LaBarbera trio in action, is fun to watch. Other key participants, Smith, Ezemma and Faulkner bring additional scoring and rebounding to the team.
Unlike in past years, this team is fluid in motion. Very aggressive and opportunistic in their play. Seem to understand their respective roles and can score from anywhere on the court. While not a P5 team, they will do well in both the OOC and the PL this year. Manis, Swords and LaBarbera will more than likely be in the first or second team PL at the end of the season.

Tom/Crucis#1 - you are correct. McInerney is still the interim head coach and here are some additional facts about the situation up there if all you are looking at is "the team is doing good":
Fact: The team is good. It has good players recruited by Gibbons with lots of experience on the court Fact: I assume LaBarbera transferred to HC because of Gibbons. Recruits like Ezema, Swords, & Manis came because of the head coach, not the assistant coach (McInerney) Fact: (from the court filings).. Parks filed a complaint, and the college's politically correct legal staff and administration moved swiftly to cover their already damaged reputation (from other cases on campus) Fact: McInerney did nothing to support her head coach or dissuade the administration from their decision (Did we ever hear McInerney publicly offer her support for Gibbons?) Fact: Brendan Sullivan, the former assistant AD at the Cross and one-time candidate for the AD job, supported the decision. (Did we ever hear Sullivan publicly offer his support for Gibbons?) Fact; Sullivan indicated in his press conference that the Cross "wanted to go in a different direction" with the women's program. Fact: Subsequent to that, there was no national search and they named McInerney, a part of the program for over 10 years, interim head coach - How is that "a different direction??" Fact: After several disparaging internet pieces directed toward Parks (I think "turtle boy" was one of them), Parks is now MIA (leave of absence?) Fact: No announcements from the Cross about departures or promotions
This is not speculation. This information was gleaned from just a small portion of the public complaint. t'll let you form your own opinion, but making a statement like "they girls are playing well" is incredibly naive when it comes to what is really going on up there. Just make sure you give credit where credit is due and re-read the articles in the T&G and pull the court filing if you have some time on your hands.

I meant Healy had clipboard in hand and was interacting with players as an assistant coach would. I brought it up because I know there are NCAA limitations as to how many coaches a D-1 team can have at one time, but am not clear on what a coach can do that a DBO can't do and was hoping one of our rules scholars would comment and educate me/us.

It is common for a DBO to hold a clipboard and talk to players during a game. The previous DBO who is at BU (IIRC) always talking to the players and was in the first seat on the bench

Fact: The team is good. It has good players recruited by Gibbons AND HIS STAFF with lots of experience on the court Fact: I assume LaBarbera transferred to HC because of Gibbons. WNY ASSUME THAT? Recruits like Ezema, Swords, & Manis came because of the head coach, not the assistant coach (McInerney) THIS MAY BE CORRECT, IF IT WAS COACH GIBBONS WHO RECRUITED THEM. IT MAY HAVE BEEN ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER OR THE ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH.Fact: (from the court filings).. Parks filed a complaint, and the college's politically correct legal staff and administration moved swiftly to cover their already damaged reputation (from other cases on campus) TAKING OUT THE PERDSONAL COMMENTS (NOT. NECESSARIULY FACTS). WHY WOULD ANYONE BE UNAWARE THAT A COLLEGE RESPONDED WHEN SAERVED WITH LEGAL PAPERS RELATED TO A COMPLAINT? Fact: McInerney did nothing to support her head coach or dissuade the administration from their decision (Did we ever hear McInerney publicly offer her support for Gibbons?) PERHAPS SHE KNEW MORE THAN US, AND DECIDED TO FEMAIN SILENT, NOT TO COMPOUND HIS PROBLEMS. DID YOU EVER HEAR HER ATTACK COACH GIBBONS?Fact: Brendan Sullivan, the former assistant AD at the Cross and one-time candidate for the AD job, supported the decision. (Did we ever hear Sullivan publicly offer his support for Gibbons?) IF HE SUPPORTED THE DECISION TO REPLACE COACH GIBBONE, WHY WOULD HE OFFER A STYATEMENT OF SUPPORT? HOW IS THIS A FACT OR ANY VALUE?Fact; Sullivan indicated in his press conference that the Cross "wanted to go in a different direction" with the women's program. YES, HE DOES PREFER WINNING TO LOSING.Fact: Subsequent to that, there was no national search and they named McInerney, a part of the program for over 10 years, interim head coach - How is that "a different direction??" Fact: After several disparaging internet pieces directed toward Parks (I think "turtle boy" was one of them), Parks is now MIA (leave of absence?) IF YOU DON;T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, HOW IS THAT A FACT?Fact: No announcements from the Cross about departures or promotions DOES THAT INCLUDE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS ZABOUT COACH GIBBONS BEING SUSPENDED? DOES IT COUNT THE ONE ANNOUNCING MCINERNEY AS ACTING HEAD COACH? WHY NOT?This is not speculation. NO IT IS A STATEMENT OF YOUR OPIONION. COACH GIBBONS IS BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT, BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT POSTS SUCH AS THIS DO ANYTHING TO HELP HIS SITUATION. I AGREE THAT HC DID A VERY POOR JOB IN THIS ENTIRE SITUATION, BUT THAT IS FROM MY BIAS AS AN HC ALUM. I BELIEVE THE COLLEGE COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DECADES OF SERVICE HE GAVE TO THDE SCHOOL. PERHAPS THEY WERE RELUCTANT TO DO SO FOR REASONS WE DO NOT KNOW OR BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED A LAWSUIT WOULD BE COMING FROM HIM DOWN THE ROAD. IN EITHER CASE, IT COULD STILL HAVE BEEN HANDLED BETTER. JUST MHO.. This nformation was gleaned from just a small portion of the public complaint. t'll let you form your own opinion, but making a statement like "they girls are playing well" is incredibly naive MY OPINION. IS THAT THE TEAM IS PLAYING WELL, AND THEY ARE WINNING GAMES THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LOST JUST A YEAR AGO. when it comes to what is really going on up there. Just make sure you give credit where credit is due ABSOLUTELY, INCLUDING GIVING CREDIT TO THE STAFF COACH GIBBONS PUT TOGETHER and re-read the articles in the T&G and pull the court filing if you have some time on your hands

Have any of Gibbons friends on this board seen him lately ? Is he looking for work or just waiting for his suit against HC to be settled - I world imagine he could find work given his career and being in good health (I assume)

Just a quick throw in since a prior comment was co-addressed to me
1) I was simply looking for clarification on the Healy coaching thing. I missed the fact that it came from a prior post.
2) Knowing the person behind the handle, I take the post about how the team is playing at face value. It is neither an endorsement nor an indictment of how Coach Gibbons was treated, just one person's opinion of what is happening on the court right now. He and everyone gets the fact that this year's team is made up of players Coach Gibbons brought to the school. No matter how we got to where we are today, both Coach Gibbons and Coach McInerney have an imprint on this year's team,

“Oh my!” Quoting George Takei.
Since I and the vast majority of Crossporters do not occupy offices in the Luth Athletic Center, Fenwick 1 or are members of the BOT, I would state none of us empirically know what is “going on up there”.
If we do, we are most certainly I hope would use discretion and not post in Crossports.
Step back from the ledge, unless you are personally involved and one of the participants is either you or a member of your family, the display of agitation and verbal aggression to fellow members of this board is an exercise in circumlocution which serves not purpose for the good of the order. Most of our post tend to be of circumlocution which is fine provided they don’t go dark and evil in intent.
Personally I try to post only facts that can be checked, with occasionally being drawn into speculation when I read something posted that is so egregious from empirical analysis that should be corrected. Other comments which I post based on speculation are done to encourage a Socratic dialogue which are done without bad intent. We should avoid “Ad hominem” attacks. It serves no legitimate purpose in educating and understanding what we all obviously enjoy, Holy Cross Athletics. If there is a team wearing purple with Holy Cross on the front, I am routing from them to succeed in recruiting and on the field.
In the meantime, I am elated that the Football team won the Patriot League Championship and hoping the Women’s Basketball team will do the same in March. If the Women’s Basketball team manages to continue on current trajectory, and play as they have over the first four games, winning against a former rival in a P5 conference, and taking another P5 team to overtime, they will have a successful season.
Final comment, Quoting Bill Parcells “You are what your record says you are”. Let that be the guide regarding past and future performance and evaluation of the team and the coaching staff.

I will refrain from getting into a response to this slanted diatribe other than to quibble about one of the alleged "facts" that surprisingly no more knowledgeable posters refuted or clarified already. How is Avery a "transfer to Holy Cross" since she came directly to the College out of high school and played her freshman year and now this, her sophomore year? How is that a "fact?" goholycross.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/avery-labarbera/10640

LaBarbera after committing to Canisius in 2017, the fall of her senior year in high school, decommitted with a coaching change in the spring of her senior year2018. She did not “transfer” to HC, merely matriculated as a first semester freshmen in the fall of 2018.

She made a smart move since HC is a far better school. Worth noting that AL did not transfer (nor did anyone else) after HC had a coaching change.
