Rather go to Frank  n Wally's1
Here is my question, and I don't know if anyone actually has the answer, though it may not be trivia or trivial!  What did happen between GA and RE?  What happened that GA did end up disliking RE and getting rid of him.  I understand what happened along the way, but was there an incident that was major?  Was it Style?  Was it jealousy on attention?  Does anyone know?

Professional jealousy, and again not hiring his buddy Mark Prosser.

That's truly a shame. A head coach should have carte blanc to hire whomever he wishes.
BTW- the cheeseburgers were better as Sandronis IMO.

 
And the head coach should certainly not be forced to hire someone whose loyalty is not to him or worse whose loyalty is to the head coach's boss. Does not make for good working relationships. In fact, such a situation would most likely lead to destructive relationships.

It's not inappropriate to recommend someone. I understand why Amodio would recommend a friend, especially someone with Prosser's pedigree. But if Everhart were already feeling heat from assistants who had their own agendas, it's also understandable why he might be reluctant to bring in a guy with such ties.

And I don't have ties to ANYONE.

On to basketball ... I still would like to see a somewhat taller lineup. Why not start Abele with Marhold or Datt? My friend Rogabee gave me a little bit of the needle for suggesting this before the St. Bonaventure game, but pretty much everything I said proved itself during the game, except we never played more than one big at a time.


Rogabee, I hope you understand that this is in good fun. I don't want anyone calling me Mussolini, Lenin, Dr. Doom, or Beulah Ballbreaker ...

El D and Apples I think the big man thing simply boils down to skill level.  We may get a spurt from one of the guys on a given night, but that is about all I've seen.  Datt hasn't really played much - although I wonder how much experience he had even before he got here - so who knows how he can develop if healthy. However, I've seen enough of Marhold and Abele to understand their limitations, and that is being gracious.  The wild card for me is Martin.  I watched the game on TV on Sat. and saw him in brief moments over the last two years and I wonder what the deal is with him. He looks to be the most athletic, has nice length and can block shots.  His form on the short jumper doesn't look half bad either, but this is the second coach who has been reluctant to play him much.  What gives?  I would really hope that maybe this 15 minute positive appearance lit a fire under Martin and he brings it every day in practice and for each game.  My sense is that Ferry will give him more of a chance as you are right Apples, what does he have to lose.

Abele is big but does Not have the Skills - our record is already terrible - try something - stick with it - and build on it.
Okay, start throwing things at me...I would go with the following starters:
Marhold, Martin, Johnson, Binney, and Jones

I would definitely love to see Martin get more PT as he appears to be very athletic as is Datt. We don't know how much experience in games Datt had coming in but my guess is not very much. I really hope that D-Mart sticks with the program and is given more opportunity this year and the following two. With his height, athleticism,and help from John Rhodes, He could still pay huge dividends over time.

Remember Fred Moon, he played very little until his sr year then he rebounded blocked shots and even scored, sometimes it takes awhile for these kids to mature and have an impact.

Agree with you phildog. Big players develop much more slowly than guards in general. Fred Moon is  a great example. If I remember Sandronis and Frank & Wally's, I certainly remember Fred.

I saw Fred last fall. He looks like he could still play.

Here's a question for you. Who will win next, the Dukes, or Penn St.? The Nittany Lions are also winless in league play, and haven't won a game since they beat us.
