Honestly, what "leverage" did Bell have coming into this job that warranted automatic pay raise... Bell's contract is for $625k per year. If he got $628k maybe it was a bonus for reaching an academic goal or something. I remember Bamford talking on the Plant The Flag podcast about McCall'...

Bamford said no decision has been made re: fans beyond Nov/Dec.

Coaches are on multi-year contracts, and they have enough leverage to not require incentives for modest increases. Most of us are not. That's why.

Walfish (and I believe others) have already stated that we have games lined up with Army and FAU, just not announced yet.

Agreed. Punish the program, not the players.

Great point, especially with very limited attendance.

Line is now GaSo -31.

I have to believe the AD wouldn't have made the announcement if he didn't have at least 2 or 3 games solidly lined up. It makes sense to hold off on a scheduling announcement until the full schedule is finalized, however many games that might be. It's not like season ticketholders need to make plan...

I think it's fair to say Carl didn't have the year we all hoped/thought he would, especially in A-10 play...but if a bad year is top 20 (ok 22) in the A-10 in scoring (including OOC) thats still a pretty damn good year and have to believe most payers would take as a "bad" year. There are ...

UMass teams never finish strong. If they can find a way to win 2 of the final 3 that would be as good of a finish as I can remember, especially relative to talent/expectations.

Good week

According to KenPom, Kolton has a higher turnover rate (32.2 vs 23.4) and lower assist rate (22.4 vs 34.5). East's assist rate is actually 32nd in the country. For context: Assist Rate (ARate): This is assists divided by the field goals made by the player’s teammates while he is on the court. Turnov...

Trainor w/2 back to back isn the 4th ices it. Its a shame that they were sleep walking against Army. Army may be a top 5 team in the country. They destroyed #19 Rutgers 15-4 this past weekend. So, while we were terrible that game, maybe Army is really that good. They have only allowed 9 goals total...

Dude looks like he could use a reality check against some legitimate competition.

I want to give the Dibaji thread a little bump after last night's game. I think there's a strong argument to be made that he's the 2nd most talented guy on the team, especially with TJ out. His play has been very frustrating since he's really only produced in a meaningful way in 3-4 games. I said i...
