"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."
Re: UMass connections and success with the PLL
Nice find. The business model seems fraught, as in-stadium attendance lags with appx 90%+ empty seats. A good test will be Homewood in 2 weeks at Hopkins for attendance. TV and streaming ratings are tbd.

Update on UMass in PLL.
Will Manny has ramped up his points and goals totals for the Archers now standing 4th in points, and first in one point goals at 14 after 5 games played. https://stats.premierlacrosseleague.com/player-table, scoring on 50% of his shot attempts!
Sean Scanone on Chrome had his first start in the 5th game of the season Sunday vs. Archers. He had a rough first game, saving only 38% of shots, and showing some weakness on both 2 pt. shots, allowing 3, and on low/bouncing shots. https://stats.premierlacrosseleague.com/teams/CHR. Announcers felt that there was some miscommunication on D overall that screened some of the shots. One Archer admitted that the game plan was to challenge Scanone low.
Jeff Trainor is on the active roster for Archers, but has not entered a game yet.
IMO, physical attendance at these PLL games remains low, except for Baltimore last week with a 50% headcount limit at Hopkins.
