That 39-2 score during the beginning of the game is just unbelievable. Even a poor D-3 team is going to find a way to score more than 2 points before the D-1 team gets to 39.

For all those big recruits every year we hear about going to Cambridge, Tommy Amaker is 15-27 in the Ivy over the past three seasons.
Not a good coach.

Harvard gets some talented players. They do not seem to develop them very well and that imho is on the coach.

Perhaps it is coaching, but from a distance, I wonder if the lack of commitment to athletics allows players to play or not play and keep the aid and a seat in the class. Like the military academies, they bring in a large class each year, and many fall off the roster over the years. It is hard to develop players who are not interested in getting better.
Given the talent they recruit for football, I wonder if the same issues exist across the athletic department at Harvard.
And then again my view from far away might be blurred and incorrect.

I guess the Pacific players expressed what they thought of their head coach being canned before the tournament, not that 29-65 doesn't tend to get one fired. Oh, excuse me, he wasn't fired, he was "reassigned to other duties". Lost 17 in a row to end the season. I guess the best you can say about Judson Martindale's college basketball career (he's got a year left somewhere if there's mutual interest) is he consistently ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. As far as Holy Cross goes, it took them a year to replace him with someone who does the same things, but IMHO does them better. Grandy and Reilly cashed in when they put the Cross in the rear view mirror, can't think of anyone else who had a major improvement by leaving since Kevin Stacom. Must have been one or more.

Before the mass exodus and partly a function of being a mere freshman when he left, but Mitch Hahn did all right in Nebraska. A few years before that, similar case for Joe O'Shea

Hard to fault someone who lands in a power conference. Luc moved up to the A-10 but his act doesn't wow them at that level like in the PL and he is at a school that arguably is less advantageous than HC long term for a Boston kid.
NIL $ is the wildcard, but certainly not guaranteed if not a top performer each year.

Mike Hopkins out at Washington At least 15 D1 head coaching jobs are open. What was the turnover last year, 65 or so? On the player front, the portal opens for 45 days beginning March 18.

For example, if a coach left in the summer like BC did, it'd be 30 days from the resignation day.

Dane Fischer out at Bill & Mary.

Fischer was touted as the recruiting guru during Paulsen's tenure at Bucknell, but apparently couldn't recruit for himself. His only successful season was his first, with his predecessor's guys.
The Peter Principle strikes again.

Wonder if he could wind up as an assistant at HC at some point ?

If his guru skills worked elsewhere in the PL, welcome aboard.

If we have the budget, I'd imagine Fischer is gonna find his way up to the Hart. If he is an excellent recruiter & talent developer, I'll take him tomorrow.

I don't think so...even if HCDP is able to open the checkbook more than usual for an assistant. Think of it this way. FHCBN, who had four worse seasons at HC in a much worse conference than Fischer did at W&M, ended up at UMass. He's probably getting paid pretty well -- certainly more than any assistant in the PL. Have to believe Fischer is going to be able to latch on somewhere bigger and better than HC.

How about this coach Devries at Drake. He has put up a sensational W-L record for n his years there. Son, a jr, is an outstanding player. I unless there are younger brothers I’d wonder if coach will soon move up the ladder

FHCBN beat Mercer in 2019-20. Turned out to be a decent win, as Mercer had a winning record that year.
