I understand the idea of, as Caret said, NC State to North Carolina or Michigan State to Michigan. He brought in Waddell, flashy and full of ideas, but they were all costly and he went well over budget. SO, what was the net result...Baseball and Soccer were sacrificed to try and make up for the deficit Waddell incurred. Ultimately baseball was saved, but a successful soccer program was the sacrificial lamb. WE JUST DONT HAVE THE MONEY. Fundraising is not nearly what is required and we are still making up for Waddell overspending...and it is done through the hefty student fees that each student , including the ones who dont give a damn about athletics, at Towson is paying. WE NEED A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER. Even if we get one, it will take several years until we see the benefits of that money. Paying 445,000 to a basketball coach who has won nothing and not getting donations is a very bad combination. The vision should be to take a first step to financial common sense. I know we live in a world of immediate gratification....as does Mike Waddell...and we can clearly see the result of that mentality...NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine what Skerry would get paid if he actually won something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Skerry address the Howard issue at the press conference....was he even asked about it?

Addition by subtraction.....he is nothing but trouble.NOTHING

Sounds like a state secret of the injured player...HOWEVER, it does give Skerry a built in excuse before the season starts. Sounds like an extension to me!!!!!!!!!!

where did you get these numbers?

No...did not bus to Maine. The team flew

Champagne taste............Beer budget. Always been one of Towson's largest problems

If he is such a solid recruiter why haven't we won anything.

It's the same nonsense every year from "TU Fans". When the football team wins, everyone is "ain't we great". As soon as they lose one game, you cant type quickly enough that Coaching Sucks, Get rid of Ambrose. ON THE OTHER HAND, you have a MBB coach who has won NOTHING in his 8 or 9 years at Towson, gets unearned extensions and you all have a "Wait until next years, because his recruits are so fabulous. Lets give him another year". Maybe you all like New England accents better than home grown. As Charley Eckman would always say, " to Baltimoreans, An expert is anyone from out of town". You can't wait to get rid of a coach that has MADE the playoffs, but love a coach who has been a total failure and been rewarded for that.

It would sound nice......don't put the cart in front of the horse........That is the easiest way to play below par in this game. These players, these coaches and these fans need to stay focused on the job at hand.

There is nothing on the facilities page about the area that used to be the squash courts in the TC. Last time I walked through there, 3 or 4 outdoor sports has indoor cold weather practice facilities there.

I heard two folks turned this job down.

I saw that Towson is now advertising for a Women's Golf Coach. Tough with only a couple of weeks until the semester and the season begins.

many times coaching changes are domino situations. One coach goes another school, then they have to fill the one that was left open, etc........but, you are right...pretty late in the game.

It may be, however, that is something the men will never find out as long as PS is involved

That's about the only way a Towson basketball team with this coach will ever get on PTI

Happy for him. Terrific guy and will be a terrific head coach

I noticed a change at Gymnastics coach. Does anyone know any details?

The Gymnastics coach that was fired is now listed as the Head Coach on both the team page and the Staff Directory. She was not listed there for a while, but has been put back. Something odd going on here. It does not seem like a good situation for the department.

It’s the tough that makes it great........Thank you a Jimmy Dugan

as I said.....not sure.....just seems logical to me.

I am not certain, but I believe Canada and Mexico are excluded from the 4 year rule.

At least she won a title to earn an extension......as opposed to a longer extension for an unnamed coach, whose extension was based on wins over Gallaudet, Rio Grande and NJIT not to mention Goucher! she clearly deserves an extension and significant raise!

Doesn’t anyone get tired of telling us how good we will be two years from now. To quote Levi Stubbs, “It’s the same old song”.
