Re: FIRE WALT BELL!

I always loved Coach Reid . Teams well prepared. Had some epic tilts with HC when HC was a very tough program in late 80s early nineties. Walked away from program when they tried to screw some of the recruits out of their scholarships.

Re: Julius Erving

That 70 team had that cohesive smoothness with plenty of contributors .Dennis Chapman
was a valuable piece to that team.I think the late Tommy Austin,who also was a terrific pitcher and fine gentleman was on that team.

Re: FIRE WALT BELL!

Umass has spent 10 seasons getting kicked around in every way possible.The jump in apps is due to financial pressures
in parents,students and the college debt accrued. UMass offers
a very good to exclent education with much for much less.
