Believe it startled with year two before Tony b saved his job. The incredible thing is bamford gave him an extension

^ I believe the extension came following year 1, at which point the majority of fans thought McCall had done a good job.

Yes, the ext came after year one, small sample size. Did it with the former guys players only adding in Carl Pierre who had his best year then regressed his last three. It was a move that was not needed at the time. No one was coming for McCall. He had zero leverage.

We were 13-20 and 5-13 in conference. I admit that I enjoyed this team and their underdog fight mentality but that season wasn't worth an extension. 13-20 coaches aren't highly sought after.

^ At the time I thought the extension was smart, and deserved. I admit I was wrong.

Seton Hall just beat #4 Michigan on the road 67-65. So for anyone out there that was upset we lost to a team by 20 that lost to a team by 36, maybe you can take a bit of solace in the fact that Seton Hall might just be REALLY good. Losing to Yale by 20 is unacceptable. But it was the 2nd game of the season and I do not believe it will be a true indicator of how the season will go.

Last night, Yale, on the road, hammered Siena by 28. They may indeed be pretty good
