"New York's Flagship" in the corner? Rabble Rabble Rabble!!

I wonder if Wayne State (MI) and Hardin-Simmons University also go around bragging about the NCAA tournaments over 65 years ago...

Did we send Cohen his letter yet informing him he has been rejected from Bills Mafia?

So where's this smoking gun that was supposed to come out?

Who are we to trust? Random AAU coaches and former players who quit on their team midseason sending ominous messages on twitter? Or perhaps we should look to the person who joined ubfan 36 hours ago and has 8 total posts? This is a Buffalo fan message board. Absolutely nothing has come out yet in the details that indicates our coach did anything wrong (despite the obvious strange circumstances) so why wouldn't we stand by her at this point and suggest someone else must've done something wrong? It's all hearsay at this point.

To each's own, man. I'm just looking at what I've seen at other power 5 schools and their commitment to their bigger alums typically pays dividends. Someone like CJ Massinburg is likely worth 7-figures and it makes absolutely no sense to shoot his endeavor down over what is likely a couple thousand dollars of potential profit.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. Every major institution holds their athletic alums in high regard and they roll out the red carpet in any way that they can to support them - including stuff like TBT. Just look at what Syracuse, Wichita State, and Dayton had for their teams in TBT last year. They pony up cash and their fans come out in droves. Meanwhile, we hold out because we want to earn a couple thousand bucks in profit for using the facility. If that isn't the case and it's truly about Air Conditioning, can the school just come out and say that? Our PR has been a friggin' nightmare for the past month and a simple statement explaining the details would clear a lot of this mess up. Either way, it's still amateur hour with Alnutt in charge.

Let me see if I have this right. TBT wanted to use Alumni Arena for the defending champs to be able to play on their home court, yet BlueCollarU couldn't gather somewhere in the range of $10-$15k to pay UB whatever they charge for an event in AA? Is that for real? 1.) Was a discount offered by the University on the facility? Why would we charge full amount for a massive publicity event for the school? 2.) Was anyone on this site approached for donations to support this cause? It seems like such a small amount of money for a ton of good publicity. 3.) Didn't these guys win a million dollars last year? They can't get a few thousand together to rent the damn arena? How does this stuff keep happening?? Either our PR is a joke and there are all sorts of secrets being held back that would explain these disasters or we have fallen off a cliff and have a support level that rivals a D3 school.

All I have witnessed is that every other conference, including the CUSA, has been raided by the big boys while the MAC sat with the same members for a decade and a half. It's great that we had stability but I'm not confident any opportunities will present themselves while wallowing in this FBS bottom-feeding conference. The MAC will always be a spot for irrelevant younger siblings of the Big Ten. We need to disassociate ourselves with that persona and try another path if we have any aspirations of seeking a higher conference. Otherwise, we can just expect to fall into that category for the long run.

I love this too. He was definitely a fan favorite. Tiny, super fast, great shooter. He came up clutch so many times. Is he a great coach? No idea. Am I absolutely pumped about seeing him on the side of the court next year, hell yeah! CC for 3!!!!!!

Twitter is such a piece of crap cesspool of bull$hit. Someone should call out @coachingchanges and @RumorsCoach for their posts.

Thank god.

Only 4 business days away from the date Whitesell's buyout would have dropped by $100k. If we don't have a coach by then, Mark Alnutt should be shown the door.

Halcovage feels like another rejection. If that happens publicly again, CSA needs to be fired immediately. How can you bring in so many candidates without properly vetting them as realistic?

I don't care what your obvious beef is with the guy, he shouldn't stop posting what he discovers whether his sources are 100% or not. This is a message board. It's made for fan speculation in these instances so I'll take anything over silence.

The more this drags on the more impressed I am that Danny White managed to get Bobby Hurley to come here.

Similar resume to Jerrod Calhoun's.

lol! Sorry, I couldn't help myself taking a shot there. You're a solid contributor, Squire! I'm just fed up with posts about how UB basketball is worse than Sweet Home High and should've hired Pat Riley for $5 million.

Instead of telling everyone to ignore them, can we please just put a disclaimer on all of their posts that says, "NOTE: This poster has no affiliation with UB and received the highest of educations from Canisius College". That way anyone lurking won't think our fans are complete idiots.

Can Cohen be kicked out of Bills Mafia now for his betrayal?

Whitesell was not the right hire. End. Of. Story.

If our top candidates were McCollum, Cohen, and Calhoun, and they all rejected us, then Tripathi better be making some calls regarding ADMA's future here.

The only thing that really changed in those last 2 hires was the person doing the hiring.

Am I missing something? I thought Jack had length and athleticism and was highly efficient with the ball down low. He just sucked at keeping players in front of him defensively and ended up reaching in for fouls. I will admit though, I spaced out for most of the second half of the season.

I'm no basketball expert but I can't imagine not having a single big on your roster at the D1 level and although Jack struggled on the defensive end, he appeared highly efficient on the offensive side of the ball. I thought efficiency was the biggest deal in McCollum's offense.
