From a legal perspective, at least.

From a legal perspective, at least. And that’s about all. Unfortunately his fiancé, who is the one he beat and choked, changed the story she gave to the police after she called 911. Also refused to testify at the trial. They had no real choice but to dismiss the charges. However if she ever decides to tell the truth, they could reinstate the charges.

If they're still together, reinstating the charges at some point is a distinct possibility. If they are not, doubtful unless he starts publicly trashing her.

I can’t find an active Loyola of MD message board but my guess is their followers would join many regular posters of boards for HC, Bucknell and AU in calling for the heads of their men’s bball coaches. That is almost half of the league. Throw in whatever is going on at Lafayette and it is possible the league could have 5 new men’s coaches fairly soon. Not a good situation.

Six, if Langel decides to cash in his chips.

Wasn’t is also rumored (did 137 say it at some point?) that DeChellis might be retiring, too?

there could be an absolutely insane amount of turnover (if dechellis and langel are moving on) - or just very high turnover - in the pl coaching ranks this year.
which is why i hope we already have our successor firmly in place and are prepared to move on as soon as the season ends.

My gut feeling is that the upcoming search will be quick & decisive. This has been known for some time & if I'm reading the tea leaves...BN's body language has drastically changed this season vs the previous 3. The season & situation, to me, have taken a toll on him. Move swiftly. No reason for us not to have our new coach in the door relatively quickly. I highly doubt they will go for a Big Program assistant that is coaching in March. Let's see...

Possible candidates from non-D1 schools could be coaching into the third week in March.

Will HC decides to make a change, will it adapt a 'Rooney Rule' (from NFL) and broaden the search and therefore delay the ultimate decision (losing critical weeks to rebuild the roster) ?

Good point dado, as in the pL alone there may be a handful of schools fishing in the same pond.

There would have to be something very severe for Lafayette to consider removing a first year coach. Other than the Ciosci years, Lafayette doesn't seem too uptight about a mediocre W/L record

Good point dado, as in the pL alone there may be a handful of schools fishing in the same pond. agreed. i'm not crazy about the idea of us fishing in the same pond as bucknell (much better facilities and more recent/greater levels of success), american (the allure of dc and more recent success), or colgate (a strong roster and a ton of recent success). i know this doesn't convey much confidence or belief in our program right now, but it is a reality that these jobs are likely at least as attractive as hc... and likely more attractive, if we're being honest with ourselves over the last 10+ years of this program and the talent we currently have. in 2023, cousy/kaftan/heinsohn days - and even the 70's/80's success is completely irrelevant to both recruits and almost all coaches. the peak of the rw days are themselves now 20+ years ago and are also damn near irrelevant, though we might be holding on a glimmer of hope for an up and comer coach that he will be able to rekindle this kind of success. i wish nelson well in future endeavors, but the need for a coaching change should have been obvious to kit hughes before he even accepted the job. he has had time to put out feelers and we will need to act as quickly as possible to make sure we don't lose out on coaching candidates the way we have lost basketball games for quite a long time now.

as much as it pains me to say this, even loyola could be perceived by many as a better job as they have established a recruiting pipeline in baltimore in recent years, which is one of the most talent-rich areas in the country.
had they not lost all pl first team and baltimore kid spencer to a starting role in the big 10, loyola would likely not be at the bottom of the league (though still soundly whipping our tails).

At the time, I had the perverse thought that I hoped it was something bad. . . Not ill will towards the coach or the school, but a case of I hope the guy didn't get suspended over a complaint I would consider trivial

This is not meant to be a defense of CBN (I think it's time to move on), but IMHO low D-1 jobs right now are more challenging than they were when he came on board....and maybe even more so in the PL. The NIL......the flipping of the transfer culture from negative stigma (in some cases) to total acceptance....the pandemic, that created the bonus year for players from that year.....I just think if you were already an established program with solid coaching/culture in 2019, you were lucky. It just seems like new strategies are going to have to be developed going forward to adapt to the new reality - blending incoming transfers with freshmen/prepsters that you hope will stay for the duration. I'd like to think it's just going to be as easy as getting the right guy, plugging in a few key players and off you go.......but I am not so sure.

I hope we hire the best coach available regardless of the path they have taken to this point. We have over compensated each of our last 3 hires after Kearney. Other than Brown it’s been a horrific strategy.
