  1. Park has not been able to take advantage of its International program due to Covid restrictions. Hopefully that will be resolved this year.
  2. Was hoping 716 native Kevin Kuwik would get a look. Just hired as HC at Army. He had 2 tours of duty at Butler. His fiancee was killed in the plane crash in Clarence and he became the lead spokesperson for the group lobbying successfully for changes in the airline industry.
  3. Butler's applications jumped 50% after the final four runs. Still voted #1 school in Mid-West by Newsweek. One of the smallest schools in a power conference. Matta rebuilding program back to where it was under Stevens and Holtman. 716 native Kevin Kuwick is assistant HC and 716 born Greg Oden on staff.
  4. Different University President and an AD brought on board to re-build UB Athletics
  5. There's more to it: Training facilities, locker room, practice gym, exercise room and equipment, arena, etc.
  6. In that case hire back former UB assistant Rich Jacob PhD who won 2 state championships at Park
  7. That was also before all Big East teams earned a lot of $ (16 unit share) from playing in the NCAA tournament. Going to a 1 bid league from the Big East might have changed his mind. I know at Butler watching all Horizon teams benefit from the 2 final four runs helped in the decision to go to a multi-bid league.
  8. The Danny White hire was Simpson. Bill served as Emeritus. At one time we had UBAAC (University at Buffalo Athletic Advisory Council). I was a on it. Tripathi disbanded it an relied on the UB Board
  9. That was a totally different time with an avid Athletic supporter President (Bill Greiner) heading up UB followed by Simpson with Dr. Greiner playing a role. Tripathi is an academien.
  10. An answer to that might be to urge Jeff Meyer out of retirement. The former Butler assistant HC who helped build that program under Licklitter and Stevens lives in Midland, ON.
  11. In no particular order: Adam Cohen - Xavier Mike Berkun - Maritime David Berkun - Stanford Turner Battle Bryan Hodgson - Alabama Alex Nwora - ECC Kevin Kuwick - Butler Carlin Hartman - Florida Mike MacDonald - Daemen Bill Belein - NCC
  12. Besides Adam you have the 2 Berkuns, David & Mike. Alex Nwora who's coached ECC, FIBA, and Olympic teams, Kevin Kuwick now at Butler.
  13. Lots of local connections to poach... One of the Berkuns, Adam Cohen, Hodgson, Beilein, MacDonald, Nwora, Battle, etc.
  14. I've known coach since his Loyola days. IMO he's a good bench coach and a mediocre game coach. He complimented NO's fiery style. UB lost and has not replaced Bryan's recruiting chops. It's time to plan for the future before all is lost. Bring home one of the 2 Berkuns or Adam Cohen. UB can't compete in the NIL era for top talent in the portal. I'd use a strategy of recruiting kids from PG prep programs that might be 1-2 and done (going to p6 programs). The dreams of leaving the MAC to go to a multi-bid conference is over. Totally change the direction of the program. When was the last time UB produced an Academic All-American?
