General feeling is Tierney's assistant (Metzbower?) will get the Princeton job. Wonder if he's a screamer, too.

Tierney interview here on Inside Lacrosse: [blogs.insidelacrosse.com]
One of the comments speculates that the move was to set up Tierney's son Trevor, who will be his assistant coach, for the Denver head coaching job when Tierney retires.

My big fear is that the program will slip and it will be even harder for Cornell to post a solid SOS. Other than that, I'm not upset that it just got easier for Cornell to get the AQ.

At least in the short term, Brown and Harvard are on the rise and PU is well stocked with talent.
Of course, regardless of PU's fortune, it already got harder to get the AQ with the Ivy playoff coming into play next year. A weakened conference with two additional games is not what the league had in mind...

What happens to their recruiting?

Tierney will probably be replaced by Metzblower, but Princeton's rise to dynasty status had more than a little to do with getting so many Blue Chips, especially out of the MIAA. Will that pipeline stay open? It's even possible some current recruits or players would transfer. Probably unlikely Princeton to Denver, but how about to Harvard, or um....us?

so we all know the transfer rules for an active D1 player ... but how do these rules apply to kids who has only committed to a school but have yet to enroll and/or dress? do they have to be released (by in this case P'ton) or are they free to go?

I think (but don't have a source to back it up) incoming recruits are free to go in this situation. At this point they've never practiced with the team or even enrolled at the school.ben03TimV

This is truly shocking, although I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. If Tierney wanted, no doubt he could have hired his son as an assistant at Princeton. Denver is an attractive place, but DU doesn't have the potential of, say, a California or Texas school. It will be interesting to see what he can accomplish.

True, but as the original article points out, Tierney has other family members out west - another son living in Portland, a daughter coaching at Berkeley, his mother living in Arizona. It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that he might be moving to be closer to them as well. Also, guessing based on Bill's age, Trevor might have kids in school in Colorado, making a move to NJ to coach together a less appealing option.Swampy

It also may have been harder for Tierney to negotiate his son a position as heir apparent at Princeton not to mention the real knife in the back it would have been to a long time assistant in line for the promotion. If his top assistant is expected to get the job, that is probably an outcome that Tierney favors as well.Josh '99True, but as the original article points out, Tierney has other family members out west - another son living in Portland, a daughter coaching at Berkeley, his mother living in Arizona.

Do you?
In lacrosse, as long as both coaches agree, transfers don't have to sit out at all. I guess that decision would fall to whomever replaces Tierney. They could be a dick about it and make them sit out a year, but I would think given the circumstances, even a current player would be allowed to transfer and play, especially if they go to a different league. If they wanted to transfer to another Ivy, the coach might be more reluctant to give the new team an immediate advantage that could come back to bite Princeton, but it seems to be rare that they force the sit-out.

To my understanding, it's the other way around, in that only lacrosse has this exception, but I'm too lazy to find out if that's true.

John Morris, Senior Associate Athletic Director - Compliance, University of Washington
Transfer Rule: In most cases, a student-athlete who transfers from one NCAA institution to another is permitted to practice and receive athletics aid immediately at the second institution. As a general rule, the transfer student is required to serve an "academic year-in-residence" at the second institution prior to competing. However, several exceptions to the transfer rule exist that enable a student-athlete to be immediately eligible for competition at the second institution.
The most commonly used exception is known as the "one-time transfer exception." As the name suggests, this exception allows a student-athlete to transfer from one NCAA institution to another on one occasion and be immediately eligible for competition. Certain conditions must be met to use this exception, including: (1) the student-athlete must have been in good academic standing and academically eligible for competition at the previous institution; (2) the previous institution must grant the student-athlete written permission to use of the exception; and (3) the student-athlete cannot have transferred previously from a four-year institution. [[i]Note: In Division I, the one-time transfer exception is not available if the student-athlete wishes to participate in basketball, men's ice hockey or Division I-A football at the second institution.[/i]]
Source:pdf; Date Unknown.
As of last year, the exemption is no longer available for baseball either.
NCAA transfer guide pdf
I should have just done the research myself in the first place.

True, and maybe if he plans on driving to see them -- or vice versa -- being in Colorado is a big advantage. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure if he were to drive from Princeton to Kennedy he'd be able to get non-stops to SFO or Oakland, Portland, or Phoenix, whereas from Denver he might have to change planes. I'm not sure exactly how big an advantage Colorado is if he's flying. The West is much bigger than the East.

That would totally ruin the travel-partner relationship, but again...IF UNION WERE TO BE KICKED THE HELL BACK TO D3...RPI could partner with Colgate, and Cornell would be happy to pair with Denver, being the two most western schools in the league. I'd bet Cornell's Saturday home winning percentage would be terrific.

No thank you.
Frankly, as far as bar popcorn goes, Chapter House has pretty great (and to me, addictive) popcorn. Anecdote: Remember this year when Princeton (the hockey team) thought it would be smart to stay in Hamilton Friday night and then their bus broke down Saturday and we all got to pick our butts for 2 hours while waiting for them to show up? Even though their band had a perfectly good bus and their band had no problem making it to Lynah by 7 pm? Aaaaanyway...a couple of us heard about the delay and went to Chapter House instead and there was a dude there who told us that he was the guy who provided the bar with their popcorn. So locally produced and all.
Now there was something about Tierney in this thread, what?

The West will rise. Eventually the lacrosse top teams will include Stanford and USC and Washington. Tierney's move to Denver accelerates (jump starts?) the trend from club lacrosse, fooling around lacrosse out West to something way more serious. Denver and Air Force play serious lacrosse but not many other teams. This is great for lacrosse, not so great for Cornell being competitive. Just as in hockey as the sport spreads.
If Metzbower takes over at Princeton, is it possible the Tigers do BETTER under him? Tierney built the Princeton dynasty but others can carry it on.
Assuming the rumors were true about who was being courted - Mike Pressler of Bryant / ex-Duke, Richie Meade at Navy, Jim Nagle at Colgate - you wonder why Denver didn't go after Jeff Tambroni. Let's hope it's because Tambroni is happy in Ithaca no matter who comes calling.

In light of the reasons given for the move, I wouldn't have been surprised if Tierney contacted Denver when he heard about their coaching search. I think cold-calling Tierney and asking "So, how happy are you at Princeton?" would take guts.billhoward
