This may be the first time I've "liked" one of your posts, lol!  Thanks for a shot of good news!

Shoulders and Glass is a good start

Well, this about as good of news as you could hope for if you are a fan of the program imo.

Can anyone w/ a HTO subscription give a summary of the "Don't Let The Door Hit You In The Butt On The Way Out, Pat" article?

For someone who knows nothing about Pat Shoulders, what's the scoop? Why is this good specifically for the basketball program? (not questioning it, I just truly have no idea)

Shoulders and Glass is a good start

Anyone else considered toxic in the athletic department and BOT that we should know about?

 

Sounds like:

Fred Gone by end of May

Shoulders gone soon

McRobbie gone by end of 2021

Most vocal voice on the board the last 20 years for the direction of this University’s money programs. Good friend of Glass prior to the hire and probably his staunchest supporter during his term. If you are a friend of his it makes no difference how you perform at your job as long as you can show you are still making money. Only once have I heard that man speak up about the wins and losses of our program and it was in 2019. He followed that up with they got the right man for the job. Tiny has his separate issues beyond that, but yeah. If you want to look at people directly responsible for the last 20 years he is in top 5 for sure.

Been a vocal critic of him for a while. Let’s just say we’ve had some unpleasant exchanges at a few BoT meetings, which may or may not involve my removal from said meetings lol

Always wondered if you tried using his handle bars as roach clips or something.

And for every one story like Wright's there's probably 10 that go the exact opposite direction as his.

I admittedly didn't watch Villanova in his first few years but I'd like to talk to someone that did. Did they see progress in terms of execution and development at least? We haven't seen any of it here so far.

There was an unbelievable article on him in GQ a few years ago. Really details on how he made a FF, then the wheels came off, and then he had to pretty much reinvent the way he coached/looked at thing,/approached recruiting, leading to him winning 2 national championships... The coach Wright that went to the first final four and the coach that won the national titles were basically two different coaches, from his own perspective that is.

Based on what we've seen, Archie Miller is no Jay Wright or John Beilein.
