My only concern about crediting our current FB success to non-medical red shirts is it downplays the coaching of Chesney and staff. Gerale Gates is playing a fifth year but that benefit to HC MBB can't overcome the coaching that has built the current MBB program. My experience is that coaching is a bigger factor than red shirting in both success (FB) and failure (MBB) at HC. If that's true the right coaching staff can make HC competitive again in basketball. Ask Chesney if he thinks non-medical redshirts 'downplays' him and his staff. My guess is they'd laugh at you. Come on. Stop making excuses. If you want to compete on the national stage, and yes this coaching staff and administration want to, then you have to allow for non-medical redshirts. If you want to be PL champs and brag about beating Harvard once and a while don't change. My guess is Coach Chesney doesn't laugh at people. Maybe when I was gone.🙂 Coach Neil Wheelwright, after he left Holy Cross, was quoted in an interview saying Holy Cross had averaged four victories per year for X number of years, perhaps it was since Dr. Eddie Anderson left, I don't remember the exact time period. So HC has excelled under Dr. Anderson, then under Coaches Carter/Duffner and then again under Coach Chesney. There have been a potpourri of extenuating circumstances such as scholarships/no scholarships, Covid fifth years, etc. But overall HC is a four year undergraduate college which can excel with an excellent coach. The extenuating circumstances in different time periods don't seem as important as coaching.
