This thread is way to long considering the player has not even been here for over a year. Everyone sounds like the indian tribe in the first major league debating the home run hit off of Ricky Vaughn. "It was too high. It was to far. Who gives a shit it's gone". Please enough already. Go Umass!

I just ate a Portuguese roll and loved it and I think mike will too. Go Umass!

If the players don't pick it up it is his fault because he recruited them. If he was doing his job Lap would not be on the verge of termination. Go Umass!

Is the player losing his scholarship because of academic reasons or performance on the court? Go Umass!

The coach recruits, teaches, and dictates the direction of the program. He is the person who gets fired if the team underperforms. Players do not get scholarships taken away from them if they underperform. The coach does everything but put the ball in the hoop and should be the sole reason for a ...

Anyways...PLAYERS make a team win...not the coach.....wake up guys


I am awake and laughing at one of the most rediculous statements I have ever heard regarding college bball. I guess Texas Tech should have always been good because they have good players? They sucked and ...

How did Bowers look? Besides Max did anyone looked improved? What style of play did they show most? ex. uptemp. thanks for the news. Go Umass!

I hear you SoCal. I don't care what someone did in h.s., j.c., the horseshoe or Guam. I want someone who hates losing to subpar competition. This team should be embarassed for losing to some to the teams they have lost to over the last couple of years. Play defense, rebound and get it done. I have ...

Great news! As much as I would like a D1 football team I think it is very unlikely also. Basketball is also very profitable and being legit would be much more attainable. Go Umass!

Marcus banks will be average at best. I don't like him or Danny "Bug". I will start watching them again when they are gone. Go Umass!

I am not saying there have never been any good Canadian basketball players. However, a few of you named 3 great players and a bunch of average ones. 3 out of a country the size of Canada does not make it a hoops hotbed. I am sure there are some who can play and make an impact but they are few and ...

This is the problem with Canadian basketball players. The top high school player thinks he is gods gift to basketball and scouts would not even watch his whole game. I would not expect big minutes from Olivier right away because there is going to be a learning curve for him. Hoops up north is a ...

Voxpop. You are like a tape recorder. I applaud your enthusiasm and hope for next season. I agree we have talent and SHOULD better. However, I KNOW we have an incapable coach to do the job. Go Umass!![/i][/b]

Coach Steve looked like he was going to lose it at a few of the games I had seen in person. He has been known to be semi-crazy on the bench but I have a feeling this upcoming year is going to be a treat for us to watch. I predict he gets tossed from 3 or 4 games this year for blaming officials for ...

Losing players for any reason whether they are due to injury or personal reasons. Programs will always lose players but we have a revolving door right now. It is unacceptable and looks terrible for prospective players. I would be very surprised if we sign anyone next year who is a legit A10 player ...
