Tony Shaver

Gone at William and Mary after 16 years.  Skerry is now second most tenured coach, to one with 2 NCAA appearances and 6 CAA Tourney Semifinal appearances in 7 years...

Very surprising. The ultimate irony will be if the new coach gets them to the dance next year, with Shaver’s players. Also, will any of the current players transfer out?

Wow, surprising but was necessary.

6 straight 10 win CAA seasons..  4 Final appearances, 2 NITs, 1 Regular season title.. The man deserved an 8 year extension, not his walking papers...

And a choke job to Delaware in the quarterfinals .Tell that to the Tribe fans that care about the NCAA Tournament. Also had some really good players.

The early reviews on the W&M board (obviously a ton more will be posted) are negative, in terms of him not being retained. Certainly that could change, depending on who they hire.

You can tell it is a new AD at William and Mary. Previous AD’s viewed the school for what it is academically and woul rarely if ever fire a coach for not winning. They are a unique school and while athletics is important, not nearly as important as graduating Presidents, Congressmen and CEO’s.

They have a ton coming back and 2 of the top 5-6 players returning in the conference. Next year was supposed to be "the year" (again)

 

Just not sure why he would be fired?  Hes been at 500 or better for a long time, shouldn't they just be satisfied and content with that?!?!?!?

They have a relatively new AD apparently. The football coach had been there since before leather helmets, now he’s gone. Shaver had a 16 year run, which is almost unheard of at this level; either you get fired way before that, or you get cherry picked by a bigger program. Having said that, with the talent they have returning, I would have given him one more year. Maybe some of their top players will jump ship. I’d love to see Knight & Pierce move on.
