Wow would have never have guessed him going there.

We can only imagine how this conversaton went and the kid still chose to come to Towson! "He said wasn't sure what to think of Towson at first, but Tigers head coach Pat Skerry laid out a plan to win conference championships and qualify for the NCAA Tournament."

Pleasant suprise to see them win yesterday. Darn shame they blew that 4 goal lead against the Chickens last week.

Considering how much the CAA has fallen isn't this kind of a latteral move for him? Why not stay there for another year or two for a bigger job.

Sad but selfishly, after the basketball season, releived to know the popstponements were not due to postivies in our programs.

This might be the best Thread this site has seen at least as far as I can remember. This thread is not the knee jerk reactions of yet another game we just threw away, it is a collection of frustrations seeing the same bad movie season after season after season. I found myself nodding my head throughout this thread. Valid points that continually hit the nail on the head. As much as the way this game is played now annoys me even I will admit you have to adjust to the new way to play. We are in the age of positionless basketball where there is no 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 positions on the floor. As a lower mid-level conference we will never get an old school dominate post player anyway so why not just recurit shooters? Put 5 guards on the floor have 2 or 3 that can create their own shots and then a few others that just stand in the corner and drain threes? Now I know I am simlifing things put I think we all get the picture. I would have no issue with a "Three and D philosphy" Anything is better than what we are doing now. I never like or advocate for coaching changes as I never like to see anyone lose their job, but this cannot go on any longer. PS will probably keep his job this year but like Chris said in his post. PS needs to be put on notice and that cnversation should have been had before they even left the arena on Saturday.

Let's hope they do not give up more goals than the baseball team is giving up runs right now. They are currently down 13-1 end of the 4th.

Over

Could not see or follow the game. I just looked through the Play by Play. I am sure it was mentioned in the chat but on this thread how come no one is mentioning up four with 20 seconds to go in regulation and we foul a guy taking a three? How bad was the foul? Granted you do not want to give up an open look but why are we close enough to foul in that situation? Obviusly that had a hand in how the game ended up

I am unable to watch our games as I refuse to play for Aunt Flo Sports so I get my feel for this team through these threads and much appreciated work that Mat does. That being said something does have to change. If you remove the players names from the comments from the posters and replace them with "Player X" and "Player Y", no one would have any idea if the thread was from yesterday's game, a game from last year, two years ago etc. From the one or two games I am able to watch a year to the threads I read this team has: 1) Tough to watch the brand of basketball is not fun viewing. Standing around for 25 seconds and then "Player X" forces up a shot 2) No shooters 3) No one to handle and/distrbute the ball. 4) Player X has not developed in his 3 or 4 years on campus 5) The list could go on and on but it will start to be as boring as one of our offensive possessions! I am never like to see anyone anywhere lose their job, but in order for him to stay Skerry ball needs to adjust to present times.

Unreal

This is beyond insane. Games cancelled due to positive test, then news that it was a false postive and now game cancelled for positive test. Can we just all agree shut it down and see you in January?

Bubbleville should just have a posting at Mohegan Sun. "Once all the test comeback later today we will place all the teams testing negative into a hat. Starting Wednesday morning we will pull two teams out of a hat 2 hours prior to the first schedule game. Once that game tips off we will pick two more teams out of a hat and so on until all available teams play. We will then do the same process throughout the rest of the scheduled days here in the Nutmeg State." Kind not a bad idea that way every team will have no idea who tp prepare for and each team will be at a disadvantage that way.

Nice, this is the stuff I like to see in terms of scheduling. Yes La Salle is towards the bottom of a deteriorating A-10 conference but it is still better than some of the scheduling I have seen in the past. Plus gives me an additional opportunity to see them in the Philadelphia area.
