Very nice to see.  Seems like season after season they churn out lots of wins. Hoping they can finally get over the hump in the CAA Tournament!

If they don't win the CAA you think they should fire the coach?

Probably not, as he has something like a .700 win % at Towson, and its Volleyball. They just always (and not just under him) choke in the CAA's.   Really good question though ass hat.

 

A legitimate question though, do teams pay to host the conference tournament? If so, wouldn't be a bad idea for us. Can give them a nice home court advantage and are centrally located in the conference, not to mention an arena in the better half.

So having a .700 winning percentage and not winning the CAA or making the NCAA tournament keeps your job in a program that has historically been solid but turning a program around that was a doormat and winning 20 games is grounds to be fired.

Seems consistent!  Keep up with the name calling, its what all the cool kids are doing!

I'm not going to get into the name-calling but there is an interesting point that is brought up. Women's coaches, though probably because they've been underfunded, are given much more time to get things together and if you win, you can stay a very long time. Metil has won a ton of regular season games, went to the Volleyball version of the NIT and won a game but has struggled in the tournament. Look at Lisa Costello, the softball coach, who has never won a CAA title. She's been coaching since 1996. She's won over 600 games. They probably can't remove her.

We are a mid-major in Maryland. The only sports that "count", (sorry, its true and needs to be said) are the "money" programs, Basketball, Football, Lax and Womens Lax. Is it fair? No, but those are the big sports and the ones where the coaches make the most.

Sorry Griggey, but every program/job if they don't reach their pinnacle after a while becomes stagnant. The ones that are in the spotlight (see above) are the ones where the pressure is. Building a program/foundation like Pat did is great, but with the mixed results recently, it is fair to ask the question is he the right person to take us on the next step?  Matt Brady, Monte Ross, Todd Bozeman, all took over "doormats" made the NCAA's and were later let go. Sorry for calling you an ass hat as well. 

However, I am fairly optimistic on the hoops team this year, the CAA is down, we have so many returning veteran players, and an OOC schedule that will hopefully challenge us for later on in March.

He wasn’t winning at the time. In fact, he had four straight losing seasons and an overall record of 382-472-4.
