Regime Change
"I don't know (about big crowds)," Maxwell said. "We've only had one really big one since I've been here."
This quote really makes me sad. Maxwell is fun to watch and is going to get even better. Hopefully the new coach will bring some energy to the Bill next season and the players can get the kind of leadership and fan support they deserve.

Yeah and Maxwell will transfer because he's a Lappas guy and then you'll be sad.Chemical Ali wrote:"I don't know (about big crowds)," Maxwell said. "We've only had one really big one since I've been here."

This is the type of irresponsible comments from Vox and Shades that one would expect from foolish Lappas supporters.
Naturally, this is the line Lappas used last year when he suggested players would leave if he was dismissed. Of course he was retained and Gabe Lee left.
I think, there is a better chance if Lappas is retained, playwers would leave.

Irresponsible? Yeah Maxwell didn't choose UMass over Indiana and didn't say it was because he wanted to play for Lappas. Right.
Gabe Lee left before Lappas was officially retained
And how the hell do you know that players would leave if Lappas stays? That is completely uninformed banter. Players come to a particular school and basketball program because the COACH recruited them and they want to play for that COACH, so whether everybody on this board hates Lappas or not, guess what...the players he recruited are on his side, believe it or not, and you have no way of knowing otherwise.

Where and why exactly would Max go?
Are you telling us that Max would be willing to sit for a year and follow Lappas (if he were to leave UMass) to a smaller school?
I think that it would be just the opposite. He would be looking at himself as a returning junior. The starting PG. A stud. Why would he throw that away to follow someone just because they recruited him? Loyalty has it's bounds and I don't for a minute think he'd be willing to sit for a year.
All bets are off however if Lappas ended up at a Division II college. Then all the players could follow him and not have to sit.

Well if this is true then I say screw em. Let the friggin players go too! If that's their reaction to Lappas' firing, good riddance.ShadesOf96and98 wrote:Irresponsible? Yeah Maxwell didn't choose UMass over Indiana and didn't say it was because he wanted to play for Lappas. Right.

You seem to be missing the point. I'll spell it out:UmassFanatic wrote:No offenese to anyone but it shouldn't make a difference who the coach is when you think about the crowds. You don't go to the games to watch the coach you go to watch the team. I just feel (not people on this board) that there is a lack of loyal fans to this program.
UMass fans will come if the team wins and plays hard.
A good coach will get UMass to win and play hard
therefore a good coach will attract UMass fans to the Bill.
