As you said a new coach will need time. I know have everyone love charts - but I hope this chart illustrates how much patience should be shown. This is the progression of Kenpom ranks from 3 years prior to coaching change to third year of new coach for some of the more successful MAC coaches. Note years -3 through -1 are the three years prior to coaching change. Year 1 through 3 are the first three years of the new coach. As you can see, the first year there is a drop off from the prior year, but by the second / third year, each of these coaches had competitive teams (Kowalczyk was the exception but he started from a worse perspective than any of the others). So this year will likely be challenging, the question is do we have a core that moves forward to the next year that we can add a few new players to take us back to top tier MAC team.

What the Braves left Buffalo? When did that happen?

I would love to see him stay and I hope the bond with Coach Mo is that strong. He’s a dynamic player and sky is the limit I think. His instincts are really good.

The state (parking lot) people were just doing their job. If they let you park there for this game, you might think you could always park there. If you had a parking pass and couldn't get a space, you would have a problem with that. They leave shortly after tipoff if you want to avoid them. About the "green shirts", the event staff has new management this year. They always did kick students out of the 100's if it's obvious it isn't their seats. If I went to my seats and found somebody sitting in them, I wouldn't be happy. I got a "talking to" by the new head events person at volleyball because I was standing in a "prohibited" space (way far) behind the end line. Both are just doing their jobs.

An exhibition game in which we had to fight back to win…I’ll take that any day of the week over a 50 point showboat fest. This builds character. Let’s keep it in perspective…it was an exhibition and the first game for the coaching staff and most of this roster. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Summer is over, now the real work begins.

Got there late from my grandson’s hockey game. But, I really liked the energy from the team and coaches. Didn’t feel like same old same old. Also, we grinded it out at the end, where I feel like the last few years we always wilted in pressure situations. Rebounding defensively was bad. Fulcher was much quicker and more athletic than I expected. Think he’ll be a solid PG. Adams and Chatman taking over in late 2nd half gives me some good feelings. Really liked Boldin, but seemed like a newborn fawn trying to stand up for the first time. Felt like he was all gas. End of the day, I feel like we’ll compete this year. To me, this is a different team in a good way.
