Not to take away from our spring game.... got a text from a good friend who is a big Clemson football fan and close to their program saying that our former commit Hunter Helms is QB2 for Clemson in their spring game yesterday and was doing a great job! Kudos to him!

Attended the Celtics/Raptors game last night won by the Celtics 97 - 93. Milke Muscala played 32 minutes, had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He had several 3's, hitting a crucial one late in the game! Was a very talented player for Bucknell and always enjoyed watching our games back then with our Bucknell rivals! URGENT PLEA TO HCDP: GET US A MIKE MUSCALA CLONE!!!

OK, introduction and press conference tomorrow....
Now that the first piece of the puzzle is in place, the second piece is just as important if not more so than the first. That is, getting the right staff put in place! Without this second piece, DP will not be successful in getting the job done! Hopeful he is not required to retain anyone and can get "his" staff in place ASAP and get to work!!!
GO CROSS GO!!!

When Muscala was playing for Bucknell and DP was the head coach, we often and I mean often, heard NAD'S voice ringing in our ears at the Hart whenever an HC player got called for a foul in or around Muscala "WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM?" as coach DP walked to the end of the bench grabbing his little cup of Gatorade seemingly with a little smirk on his face! Guess NAD will have to come up with a new one when DP gets a big as good as Muscala!!!

NAD or HCFC45 should be in disguise, sitting outside on the Plaza taking pictures and providing first hand reports. 🥸 Not available for this gig, don't know about NAD, but there is an experienced photographer who regularly visits this board who might be available... price might be too high though...

I won't speak for Jared (or others), but I think KH certainly has things heading in the right direction - with the fact that he put together the call being prima facie evidence thereof. I'll give a pass to RP, Sr., since the technology didn't exist (and thus DR, as well), but neither NP nor MB did anything like this. I think Kit was as candid as he could be, and shared some generalities of his meetings with the MBB players, and what they all believe they need to do to get the program back on track. He said that there's a belief among everyone that they're not that far off being on the road to where we all want things to be. As to the new coach, he noted that a number of phone "interviews" have been conducted, Zoom calls with a select number of candidates will begin soon, and the process will not be drawn out. He also noted that the Portal is open as of last week and that everyone is well-aware that it's only open for sixty days, so time is of the essence. There were forty people on the call, which lasted about an hour. At the end, we were told to expect another call in the not-distant future - when we've got a new captain for the MBB ship. I think we're heading in the right (and a good) direction. MB surely did a webinar with FHCBN back in December 2020! Look up the 2 page thread "Webinar with Coach". Season ticket holders were invited to attend and ask questions.

You're missing the obvious and simple solution. School is for people. Not cats or horses. Kids can pretend but should know the difference between pretend and reality. If they really believe they're a cat or horse send them home. My guess is they will quickly learn the difference between healthy pretending and reality. Since horses don't use bathrooms and just go where ever they are, I would hate to be assigned the task of cleaning up after them You will not fit in among faculty or administrators in public schools in CT. If the children say they are cats or horses or martians, you must treat them as such and with respect. People who say otherwise (like you) are hateful bigots who are driving up youth suicide rates. This is where we are. And I will add to that by saying that I have heard there are schools in Central Mass that have put in "litter boxes" for those who identify as cats.... Yes, this is sadly where we are!!!

Holy Cross Job Posting for Men's Head basketball coach is out and for all of you wonder what search firm KH is using, send your resume to crusadermbbsearch@holycross.eduNo Parker Executive Search firm retained to help with the search! Way to go ADKH and/or PVR! holycross.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=160005A few statements in the posting that I found interesting and do not recall seeing in prior postings for coaches (basketball, football, or otherwise) Major Areas of Responsibility - Oversees selection of team equipment and apparel. (So for the haters of the Black uniforms (myself incuded) talk to the Coach if you want to get rid of the black)
- Must have a commitment to mental health and wellness and active engagement with the coordinator of student-athlete counseling services and programming.
- Participates in marketing and fundraising initiatives. Effectively participates in special events to generate interest within the College community, including alumni, as well as the local and regional community
- Understands emerging technologies and shows ability to use science and data to inform decisions when appropriate.
- Supports robust alumni engagement with the program by maintaining proactive and consistent communication and facilitates opportunities for mentoring relationships between student-athletes and alumni that support both student success.
Core Competencies - The requisite charisma, enthusiasm and empathy to effectively recruit, develop and lead student-athletes/coaches and supporters of the program.
- Collaboration: Exchanging information, ideas, thoughts and feelings thoughtfully with others in a manner that is proactive and enhances partnerships.
- Responsibility: Taking ownership of one's actions and accountability for one's tasks and duties. (Not sure I've seen this in any job description before but it could be boilerplate for all jobs at the college.
Git 'R Done, Kit!
Excellent news. Things have begun trending in a much more positive direction. Hopefully things are looking much better by May 1. This posting tells you everything you everything you need to know why BN is not coming back!!!

Nelson not being able to get JVB to HC is a high point on the laundry list of all the reasons he should be fired. What’s more alarming — did he even try and recruit him after he entered the portal while at BC? What alarming is you know nothing about JVBs interest in HC or Nelson’s interest in him, but you’re 25-30 posts deep on this same topic. Each one as uninformed as the last. Nelson is a bad coach you don’t need to make things up. Not making things up!!! Asked his father directly if HE EVEN HEARD FROM HC AFTER ENTERING THE PORTAL? The answer was that he heard from the previous staff but never heard from the current staff!!! A friend who I trust asked someone on the current staff about going after JVB and the answer was "he can't play"!!! They can't cut ties with the current staff soon enough for me!!!

Sure to be a sellout.... out of curiosity, since the season ticket purchase includes the Polar Park game, how many season tickets holders do we have? PP only has something like 9,508 seats. Depending on how many season tickets there are, there may not be many tickets left for the general public....

Since the Silver Fox Bus was at the game last night, I'll assume they did not fly back!

Will Batchelder played 22 minutes. Jade Tse played 18 minutes, including most of the way down the stretch, Batch on the bench, as we fell further behind.
Translation - "You can't fire me. I quit."
Nelson not taking Gerrale out of the game and depriving our best player - and the fans - of the benefit of a standing ovation is the single worst thing he's done in his disastrous regime. I was at the game and Batch had one of his worst games of the year! He did not play well on both ends, defense /offense. He had 2 points for the game. But he is a Freshman!!! He's learning!!! I really don't like the way HCBN yells/screams at the players when they make mistakes... Put them on the bench and the options are limited... Granted I did not think of it at the time but agree with Crosser and sader1998 who originally said it was a mistake not to take GG out of the game to get a well deserved Standing Ovation for what he has done during his time at HC!!! Shame on HCBN and the Staff for not doing this!!! He most certainly deserved it!!! Time to clean house and hopefully this 4 year nightmare will come to an end as we begin to bring HCBB back to where it belongs!!! Using Patriot head Coach Bill B's language "ADKH .... DO YOUR JOB"!!!
