Thanks. I hope his coaching has improved more than his communication skills. He did work the room for a decent amount of time after the event. I didn't have an issue with the way he communicated. We jest about coach speak for a reason. Most coaches do it. Part of the game is being positive, He's trying to drum up support and have people in the seats. You don't get that by saying we're picked #9, but really think we can make the middle of the pack this season

-BN indicated this is the first time he has been able to speak in the community because of COVID That's strange. HC rules? I know members of the football coaching staff have mingled with alums / fans plenty.

More than I would have expected. '83 would you post Coach MM's comments on the ladies' thread? As for MC controlling the questions, guessing it was the same guy that did the football event. Hardly any questions from the assembled masses there as well. I thought if someone wanted to ask a question, they could have. Just not that curious an audience

That's what happens when NAD and I aren't there! And, Tom, I've observed your questions are in one-on-ones with the AD or coaches.

This program is totally lifeless. Wait until you see the message boards of every other PL school.

Is there something there to see? IIR , if there is, that would be an improvement.

Or an excuse? '83, just curious, did he "press the flesh" with the fans? If so, that'd be a change in his M.O. BN was very approachable. In fact I felt a little bad because I asked him a question as he was walking away from the appetizer bar getting something to eat. He took the time to engage me even though he had a plate of food in his hand and was looking to eat. Like all of us - I am hoping BN and the team have a successful season. Time will tell how this season will go.

I wish BN would do a two minute video each week or two (like Chesney does) to keep the fans informed.
I think that would go a long way to improve his image.....which DEFINITELY needs improvement.

Agree But obviously it is much easier for Chesney after many wins

-BN indicated this is the first time he has been able to speak in the community because of COVID That's strange. HC rules? I know members of the football coaching staff have mingled with alums / fans plenty. In October 2020, there was no coaches night because basketball started in January 2021 with the League schedule, and cutouts of fans and supporters in the stands. In October 2021, there was no coaches night because of ongoing restrictions regarding attendance at large indoor gatherings. See: goholycross.com/sports/2021/9/27/fall-2021-fan-and-visitor-policies.aspx---------------------------------------------------- In August 2022, Holy Cross hastily re-convened the Community Alliance. The Alliance had not met over two years, and when Holy Cross appeared before the Planning Board seeking approval of the new residence halls, residents of College Hill let fly with complaints, accusations, conspiracy theories. This resulted in the Board deferring action on HC's sought-for approval, and Holy Cross apologizing with mea culpas and convening local meetings with elected officials and neighbors to calm the roiling waters.
