Re: Joe Harasymiak New Coach!

I don't agree with the WAY Don Brown was let go. Why couldn't he be fired or "retire" after the UConn game? For Christ's sake, show a little class and let him slink out after the UConn game. What's the difference? What is 2 weeks and we were getting JH any way. Don Brown has been around U...

Re: Game 10, 2024-25: UMass Lowell (12/7)

I don't gamble and don't check out lines, but I'm assuming we'll be underdogs in this one. I predict that Rahsool finds his shot, but DHS will still be out and the team looks fractured with a scowling Frank and no more than 3,000 in attendance. UM Lowell by 7.

Re: 2024-25 Season

Those kinds of players don't exactly grow on trees. I don't see much from Malek, but I like Shahid, he's just inexperienced. DHS is obviously a talented big man, but he's hurt. I'd like to see what Amadou can bring to the table. He's big and strong and looks like a good athlete, but also lacks exper...

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

Disagree with blaming Frank for not playing the centers. These guys have been in his doghouse since Mohegan. A direct quote from Frank in the 1st half vs FSU was these guys just aren’t good, they suck and that’s when he put DHS in at center. Frank does get blame for bringing these 2 guys in I reall...

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

^Camby, I agree that Frank brought them in so he deserves blame for roster construction, which I think has been a big topic on this board for a while now. And I agree with you on Malek, I just don't see anything from him. He has a smooth little jumper, but he doesn't seem willing to do any dirty wor...

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

CCSU moved up to 173 in the NET rankings and we slid down to 249. If we're not careful, we might end up sub-300 at some point soon.

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

Frank may be a great coach and teacher during practice, but this season is a repeat of year one where he doesn't teach, doesn't coach, and either screams "what are you doing????" at the top of his lungs, or sits with his arms crossed and pouting. That's not leading, that's not coaching, th...

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

Frank bitching and moaning again about how hard college basketball is now that he doesn't own the players for 4 years. Other coaches have figured this out and adapted, Frank. You sound like a whining baby with this stuff. https://www.gazettenet.com/UMass-basketball-Minutemen-s-struggles-continue-in-...

Re: Game 9, 2024-25: Central CT (12/4)

I've generally supported Frank but it was coaching malpractice not to put Shahid in the game when CCSU had the ball out of bounds up 2 with less than a minute to go. Everyone in the building knew that would they would get the ball into Momoh who had scored every time down the court (except when he ...

Re: Joe Harasymiak New Coach!

Congratulations to Joe on the head coaching gig, and welcome to UMass! I'm excited to see what he can do in a conference with increased resources. A new era of UMass football. As bad as I think Bamford's been lately, I think he got this one right. Harasymiak was my preferred candidate over 1. Neal B...

Holy cow, I'm very pleased with this. He was at the top of my list from early on along with Neal Brown. Quick recap of his credentials: Joe Harasymiak is an interesting name. From north Jersey, played at Springfield College, and brought Maine to an FCS semifinal and earned FCS coach of the year hono...
